According to people's understanding at present, its meaning may be a dark planet imagined by ancient Indians, but it exists out of sight, and it represents the meaning of causing solar and lunar eclipses (La hukkala). This shows that in Indian mythology, Lahu and Ketu are both stars of destruction or evil.
The reason why we understand the relevant myths in this way is that in Indian mythology, the birth of Rara is in the "most distant period". After the reconciliation between the gods and the clan of Asura, they stirred the milk sea together to obtain the nectar of immortality. He was tipped off by the sun god and the moon god for violating Vishnu's ban (Asura can't live forever), which led Vishnu to split up. However, this Asura's head didn't die because he drank the nectar of immortality, and then he became Luo Wei, so he often ate the sun god and the moon god as revenge.
Buddhism is related. In the Pali Sutra, stars such as Luori, Sun God and Moon God (Suriye, Chandra) are also included. Moreover, because of the solar and lunar eclipses, there are related scriptures that require monks to recite, so that the Buddha can intimidate Luo into releasing the sun, moon and Er Shen. Note that Rollo was born when the eclipse occurred, not Rollo, so don't confuse it.
Introduced to China, in the Han Buddhism, such as Dacheng Dafang Jing, etc. , mentioned the big and small stars, which not only involves Indian mythology, but also can be combined with the seven obsidian and twenty-eight stars in China's traditional culture (see "Big stars have eight ... to ... and twenty-eight small stars"). However, because Luobian is an imaginary point and invisible, Jin Mu's fire, water, earth, sun and moon are combined into seven whores, and Luobian is one of the escapes. He also said that after being included in the two-star Luo Biao plan, * * * is Nine Obsidian. (See the section "Sun, Moon, Fluttering ... to ... Town, Comet in Luoju" in the Buddha Mother's Great Peacock Sutra, in which Saturn is the capital of town and rice).
Derivative application is precisely because of the myth that Rama could be used in ancient Indian astrology and be included in China's concept of astrology. But in India, as an "elusive" imaginary point, the period of their orbits will be used to calculate the time of solar and lunar eclipses. In China, Rollo is also called "south intersection, dragon tail, south intersection of the moon and descending node", which is the south intersection of the ecliptic and the orbit of the moon around the earth, showing its changes and development in different degrees.
From the above Indian myths to the development after they were introduced to China, we can find that Luo Ru represents not only "great destructive power", but also "rebellion, greed, madness, selfishness" and various cognitions originally belonging to the Asura clan. If summed up incisively, Vishnu has completely become the spokesman of "chaos and evil" after cutting off his head. (PS: Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of the universe emperor in Transformers. Both of them are black-hearted and the source of evil ... It's hard to say that they have nothing to do with each other. Well, they are both harmful parties with their heads floating around)
Because of the great development of novels in Ming and Qing dynasties, the word "magic ancestor" appeared. Give a few examples:
Mrs. Xiao Luan listened: "I once heard from the magic ancestor Dapeng that he once covered all beings with a wing to smell the Buddhism ..." At the end of the Ming Dynasty, I continued my journey to the West.
"I'm going to take the (Xuanzang) pearl in my hand, and then go back to the mountains to subdue all my classmates and be my own magic ancestor." Legend of shushan swordsman in late Qing dynasty
Finally, in this era, when the concept of "Luo" is introduced into some entertainment works with the theme of ghosts and gods (such as the puppet show of Thunderbolt or the game Ghost Sword Record), it is difficult to get rid of the darkness and evil originally from Indian mythology. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that when the word "magic ancestor" originally originated from ghost novels needs a name, some people will call Luo Wei the name of the magic ancestor.
Or it can be said that the combination of Mo Zu and Luo Wei is only an accidental and inevitable double parallel development.
