1. Excerpts from "The Three Strikes of White-Bone Spirits" from "Journey to the West"
1. The traveler will He jumped up into the clouds, put up an awning with his hands, and opened his eyes to watch. Unfortunately, the road to the west is very lonely, and there are no people living in Zhuangbao. It is a place where there are many trees and few people. After watching for a long time, I saw a high mountain due south. On the mountain facing the sun, there was a bright red spot.
2. The master and apprentice said goodbye and went on the road and saw a high mountain. Sanzang said: "Apprentice, there is a steep mountain ahead. We are afraid that the horse will not be able to move forward. We must be careful." The traveler said: "Don't worry, Master, we will take care of it naturally." Good Monkey King, he was holding his stick across the horse in front of the horse. Cutting through the mountain road and climbing up the high cliff, you can see endless things: overlapping peaks and rocks, surrounded by ravines and bays. Tigers and wolves move in formations, and deer and deer move in groups.
3. The powdery flowers are covered with dew due to sweat, and the Emei willows are covered with smoke in the dust. Pay close attention to where you are and see what is around you. Sanzang saw it and called out: "Bajie, Sha Monk, Wukong said that there is no one in the wilderness here, do you think there is no one coming out there?" Bajie said: "Master, you sit with Sha Monk and wait for the old pig to go and take a look. Come on." The fool put down the nail plate, straightened his legs, swayed, and acted politely, and kept looking at each other face to face.
4. The temples are like snow. Walking slowly and timidly. He is weak, thin and lonely, with a face like a withered vegetable leaf. Cheekbones look upward, lips part downward. He is no longer as young as he was when he was a teenager, and his face is covered with lotus leaf folds.
2. Appreciation
This is one of the more exciting chapters in the book. Seen in Chapter 27 of Journey to the West. This time, it has always been praised by people for its ideological enlightenment and great artistic success.
This chapter begins with Sanzang’s master and apprentice bidding farewell to Zhen Yuanzi and continuing their journey westward. It vividly and layeredly describes the struggle between Sun Wukong and the fickle corpse demon, as well as the discord within the Buddhist team. The conflict places Sun Wukong at the intersection of several sets of contradictions, thus adding a dazzling touch to the image of Sun Wukong.
The opponent the team encountered this time was a demon named "Mrs. Bones". It came towards Tang Sanzang, not only to ruin the holy monk's sutra-seeking career, but also to devour his body. Logically speaking, it should be the same enemy that was unanimously opposed by master and disciple. But just because it can teach the Dharma and capture the psychological characteristics of Tripitaka and Bajie.
Changing his own appearance, confusing the truth with the fake, confusing the audience, so that the holy monks were deceived again and again. The contradictions faced by Sun Wukong come from both outside and within the Buddhist scripture-seeking team. In the vertical development and horizontal intertwining of contradictions, Sun Wukong's ideological and character shines brightly.
After three rounds of fighting, the demon finally died, and Tang Monk was safe and sound. The struggle between the scripture-seeking team and the demons ended with the victory of the scripture-seeking team; the entanglement between Wukong, Tripitaka and Bajie ended with Wukong being expelled. Contradictions and conflicts expose the personalities of each character again and again.
Wukong’s wisdom, courage and cunning, Tang Seng’s kindness and stubbornness, and Bajie’s selfishness and narrow-mindedness are all vividly expressed in the evolution of the storyline. Therefore, we say that this time it has achieved great success in terms of artistic expression.
