Chapter 286: Re-Coming "Super Interview" continued
To know that the mythological system of Lu Dao Huaxia is very complicated, what are the three Qing and six emperors, the twenty-four stars, and what the five Yao Xingjun, many people don't know at all, maybe everyone will be familiar with Pangu, Nuwa, and the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, but it is also very limited, not to mention the uncommon ancient powers such as the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the Demon Emperor Emperor Jun, and the Red Cloud, and they may not have heard of it. However, with the slow update of "Buddha is the Way", everyone found that Bi Xia actually integrated all the thousands of myths into one. This kind of integration is not conjectural, but based on the stories that have been passed down for thousands of years, they are combined in an orderly manner, and they are instantly recognized and accepted by everyone.
After reading "Buddha is the Way", many people have a clearer understanding of the Chinese mythological system.
For example, what exactly is Hongjun? There is in the Romance of the Gods, but Hongjun almost does not appear in the Romance of the Gods, only a few poems describe him, "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Outside, I should be in charge of the Sect", but what do you teach, why do you want you to palm? Everyone is confused about this.
After reading "Buddha is the Way", everyone knows the Tao, Hongjun is the innate demon god, and it is the remnant soul of the chaos demon god, a very bullish character, got the fragment of the jade butterfly left by Pangu, and became a big man in the Tao, Sanqing and the two saints of the West and Nuwa's teacher......
There is also a new understanding of the saint, everyone has a new understanding, I have heard "the saint is immortal and the thief is not stopped", but who can say clearly what the saint is? In the past, everyone thought that sages didn't mean Confucius, Laozi, and Zhuangzi. Nowadays, "Buddha is the Way" clearly explains what is called a saint of heaven and earth, which is a kind of heavenly karma and an immortal figure.
For example, there are countless such settings, and each new setting is mysterious and mysterious, earth-shattering existence, not only book friends, but also with the authors of online novels, there is no one who does not admire, in Internet terms, this is a titanium alloy dog eye that blinds them.
"It's an interesting question. Once I saw a post on the web. That post lists mythological figures from various countries in the East and West, the Western Olympian mythological system, the Indian mythological system, the Egyptian mythological system, and our own mythological system. In that post, the first three mythological systems are all inherited in an orderly manner, while our mythological system is chaotic. At that time, the poster lamented that he had worked very hard to integrate, but found that he couldn't do it, and at that time he also lamented that our big country did not have its own mythological system, which was very sad.
I really felt the same way. I could feel the sadness of the poster when he wrote this paragraph. So I wondered, is it true that our myths have no system? During that time, I read a lot of materials, and even read Journey to the West and Romance of the Gods. I found that these two books are very related, so I became interested, listed the characters in them one by one, and then looked for their relationship through the mythological characters that appeared in various ancient books, so I had this Buddha is the Tao. ”
Of course, this is all Bi Xia's nonsense, he is actually just copying the mythological order in his memory. Of course, the story was indeed written by Bi Xia himself, and it was not completely out of conscience.
Bi Xia wrote this book of Buddhism is the Tao, with the intention of composing a spectrum of Chinese mythology, compared to those books in his memory. He is much more objective from his perspective, not to mention completely fair and just, but at least Bixia tries to write this book from the perspective of a dazed and ignorant person. Try not to criticize with subjective thoughts, he can only do it to this extent.
"Oh, Bi Xia, you said that the Romance of the Gods has some connection with Journey to the West? This statement is quite novel. I believe it's not just me, everyone at the scene is very curious, can you tell us about what these two novels have in common? Huang Weinan's face was full of curiosity, this time he was not pretending, but he was really attracted to this topic.
"There are actually a lot of similarities, for example, they are all from the Ming Dynasty, the time may be early or late, but there is no way to examine, and many characters who came out of "Romance of the Gods" have appeared in "Journey to the West", and the descriptions are very similar. For example, the Romance of the Gods in "The Romance of the Gods" and the Buddha in "Journey to the West", the Romance of the Gods describes the Taoist who lives in the land of Western Bliss, is six feet tall and has a yellow complexion, and the Buddha Lord who has cultivated a golden body of six zhang in Journey to the West, the two are so similar in appearance, and they are both in charge of the Western Bliss Holy Land, which makes people wonder if they are one person.
In the Romance of the Gods, it is described that the Taoist is introduced: Daxian is barefoot and fragrant with jujube and pear, and it is even more abnormal to step on auspicious clouds; The twelve lotus platforms perform magic weapons, and there is white light on the edge of the Eight Virtues Pool. Shou Tongtian's words are not false, and Fubi Hongbo is crazy; Cultivating the name of the relics, and the bliss of leisure is the West.
In the Journey to the West, it is described as the Lord of the Buddha: Daxian is barefoot with jujube and pear fragrance, and the longevity of the Buddha is long. Qibao Lotus Terrace Mountain is stable, and the golden flower seat is like a brocade and longevity, and the words of the heaven and earth are not false, and Fubi Hongbo's words are crazy. Fushou as scheduled is really a one, leisure and bliss that West.
The similarity between the two is very high, and the description of the Daoist is almost exactly the same as the Bodhi Patriarch in Journey to the West, which seems to be naked plagiarism, of course, we don't care who copies whom, but we can see the relationship between the two.
There are also the same characters such as the most popular characters on the list of gods in the Romance of the Gods, which is basically the stereotype of the heavenly court in Journey to the West, Shui De Xingjun is Lu Xiong, Ziwei Emperor is Bo Yi Kao, Yang Ren is Jiazi Tai Sui, and Yin Jiao is Nian Sui Jun Tai Sui. Wang Mo and Yang Sen are the four marshals of the Lingxiao Palace. The God of Wealth is Zhao Gongming. There is also the Western religion in the list of gods, the Buddhist Cihang in Journey to the West is the later Guanyin, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun is Manjushri Bodhisattva, the Venerable Puxian is the Puxian Bodhisattva, and the Taoist who burns the lamp is the ancient Buddha who burns the lamp. Kong Xuan is the Peacock King and so on, and the relationship between the two is as if the Romance of the Gods was a period before Journey to the West. ”
"Wow!!" Hearing this, the fans at the scene were already excited and couldn't extricate themselves. They didn't expect that there were so many statements in these familiar stories, and Bixia would study the two novels so carefully. If it were an ordinary online author, they would be amazed, but they would never be so excited, but when it came to Bi Xia, they couldn't help but be excited, Bi Xia is a star, it can be seen that Bi Xia's writing is not a ticket, he really specializes in it.
In fact, this kind of research is not Bi Xia's research, in addition to these things in memory, there are actually such studies in China, but they are not circulated among the public. (To be continued......)
