Do you know why Zhu Bajie was named the messenger of the altar of purification? It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, China story network editor tells you.
Those who are familiar with journey to the west, whether it is the original work or the film and television series, should know that after the return of the four masters and disciples, Zhu Bajie, who has always been lazy and driven by the wind, has been called “the messenger of the clean altar”. At that time, Zhu Bajie was very dissatisfied with the arrangement of the Buddha, because master and senior brother were both “Buddha”, but he lost a “messenger”, who would be a little dissatisfied, or the Buddha explained to him, he reluctantly accepted. So, what kind of position is this altar messenger? Why is Zhu Bajie’s attitude completely different before and after?
??1. Zhu Bajie
Zhu Bajie is just a nickname. His legal name is Wuneng, also known as Zhu Gang hyena. In fact, many rumors about Zhu Bajie are somewhat inaccurate. For example, he admired Chang’e Fairies in his previous life. In fact, he liked nishang fairies, because in the setting of journey to the west, all Fairies in the Moon Palace were called “Chang’e”, not referring to Chang’e, the wife of Hou Yi who ran to the moon. This may have been misunderstood by many people in future generations for many years.
Zhu Bajie has been playing a role of “cheering” on the way to learn scriptures. It seems that he was originally Marshal Tianpeng of the heaven, and will change in 36 ways, but in fact, when things happen, he still needs to rely on the eldest martial brother Sunwukong to come to the rescue. Once Tang has been captured and feels there is no hope of being rescued, he will want to retreat. In TV dramas, “Branch Li” is a common thing.
Besides, he is also very lecherous. Originally, in the heaven, he was demoted to the lower world because he flirted with the fairy, but he still didn’t know how to restrain himself in the world. Before waiting for the Tang monk, he had to marry Miss Gao of Gao Laozhuang. On the way to learn the Sutra, he liked to meet a girl and wanted to chat up. No matter whether the opponent was a monster or a human, he was also taught a lesson by the Bodhisattvas who turned into mortals, but it seemed that he could never get rid of this problem.
??2. Altar messenger
When he finally arrived at Lingshan mountain and achieved the true results of the Sutra, he was not satisfied with the Buddha’s designation of him as “the messenger of the altar of purification”. According to the Buddha’s explanation, although the altar messenger is not a Buddha, a Bodhisattva, or a arhat, it is just a title, but because Zhu Bajie has a large intestines, the altar messenger can enjoy incense from all directions and specially manage tributes. In this way, Zhu Bajie finally feels more satisfied. After all, eating is really a “good job” for him.
