What are the four monkeys in Journey to the West? Is the relationship between them really that simple?
There is no one in China who doesn't know about Journey to the West!

When it comes to the myth of Westward Journey, we have to mention the Monkey King, the male monkey standing in position C. From being born in the stone to making a scene in heaven, and then all the way west to become a Buddha. His growth is different from that of any demon, and even more different from that of any deity or Buddha.

In the Journey to the West, besides the Monkey King, there are three monkey spirits, all of whom have high skills and natural magical powers. They belong to the four monkeys in A Worldly World on Sunday, so let's introduce the four monkeys in The Journey to the West one by one in the order of appearance.

Ling Ming boulder: It's also the Monkey King, a stone monkey. He can "understand change, know the right time, the right place and the right people, and change the stars for the fight." He was also the first important person to appear in The Journey to the West, born out of the essence of heaven and earth absorbed by Nine Bridges Lingshi for thousands of years.

Some people think that the Monkey King himself has no ability to change. All spells rely on Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi.

Regarding the seventy-two changes in the Monkey King, many people may think that it is seventy-two changes, but it is not;

Seventy-two changes refer to: seclusion, exorcising ghosts, carrying mountains, forbidding water, borrowing wind, dispersing fog, praying for the sun, praying for rain, sitting on fire, entering water, covering the sky, preventing wind, boiling stones, spitting flames, swallowing knives, making a pot, walking with God, stepping on water, releasing sticks, being in two places, being invisible, continuing to hold your head, and killing demons.

The second monkey who appeared was a red horse monkey and the second marshal Ma and Liu around the Monkey King.

Red horse monkey: knowing yin and yang, knowing people, being good at going in and out, avoiding death and prolonging life. It looks like an ape, with a long white moustache, golden claws and snow teeth, and washed ashore at the age of five. Squat down like an ape, but you can't open your eyes. If you are confused, your eyes and nose are like springs and your saliva stinks. You can't get close to people, but after a long time, your eyes will suddenly open up and shine at the moment. And he is good at water conservancy, and even the water god can't claim to be better than him.

There is also a special space in mythology to talk about the origin of the red horse monkey. It is specifically said here that his ability is to know yin and yang and understand people. Since he has such a strong predictive ability and is proficient in water, could the monkey who first put forward the slogan "The first monkey to enter the waterfall is the Monkey King" predict the future events when the monkeys first met water curtain cave?

When the Monkey King lamented his long life as a monkey, who jumped out at the right time and told the Monkey King that he could go to Hezhou to learn from the rhinoceros? After the Monkey King returned from his studies, who told him that he could borrow weapons from the East Sea Dragon King? This magical power that can accurately predict the direction of events belongs to him.

The third appearance was the Tongham ape, and there were two for the first time. He is also the Monkey King's right-hand man, known as General Collapse and General Pakistan.

Arm-in-arm ape: take the sun and moon, shrink the mountain of money, distinguish between good and bad, and do unique tricks. In the novel, the one-armed ape is said to be the white ape male. He is a god beyond the six sentient beings. He has practiced in Chu for thousands of years, so his strength is infinite.

Since the arm ape has such magical powers, the Monkey King must have escaped the eye of the arm ape by jumping out of the stone.

So when the Monkey King has not been activated with any magic ability, two kinds of well-connected mixed monkeys are willing to turn around the Monkey King, and they are willing to recognize him as the king and be his right-hand man through some small means. They not only advised the Monkey King many times, but also stayed in Huaguoshan to continue to be the protector after Sun Xitian learned the scriptures. From this point of view, the red horse monkey and the arm ape seem to have foresight, or reached some kind of agreement with heaven.

The fourth appearance is Liu Er Macaque. One of the four legendary monkey spirits, with the same strength as the real Wukong, fought against Wukong and went into the sea. Later, he was told by the Tathagata Buddha that he had broken his original body and was killed by a stick.

Liu Er Macaque: "Listen well, understand, know before and after, and everything will be clear." Good at listening, that is to say, his eavesdropping technology is first-class, and those secrets between heaven and earth can't escape his ears. If he keeps practicing, he can control the past and the future to the point where everything is clear.

This monkey is very skilled, and it is the only one among the other three monkeys who dares to challenge the Monkey King. It's so dark that even the Bodhisattva can't tell which is true and which is false, and the psychic beast lying under the case of the Tibetan Bodhisattva dare not recognize it.

In many analyses, some people think that in this robbery, the Monkey King was actually replaced by Liu Er's macaque. The appearance of Liu Er is a conspiracy to finally replace the real the Monkey King. Personally, my favorite superhero since childhood is the Monkey King, and I reject this conspiracy theory in my heart.

These four monkeys are all from the classic The Journey to the West, but they first appeared in such mythological masterpieces as Shan Hai Jing, Shen Feng Gang and San Sui Ping Yao Zhuan.

The Journey to the West, such a magical masterpiece, undoubtedly left countless reverie space for future generations. About the Journey to the West, it has been made into thousands of film and television dramas and game works, large and small, and even single-handedly pulled people out of the four masters and apprentices, which can independently support a sky of film and television dramas.

In recent years, with the slow recovery of the national tide and the resurgence of traditional culture, more and more young people no longer worship foreign things, but learn from foreign excellent cultures and then return to tradition. Excellent national romances such as The Legend of the White Snake, Nezha, The Legend of Deification and The Return of the Great Sage are constantly innovating on the basis of our own fairy tales, creating more and more mythical figures.

The mythical superhero is the coordinate in the hearts of countless children, and it is also like an adult's dream.

But in fact, the real superheroes, except the mythical ones, are a group of people who are flesh and blood in their lives and are willing to protect the great love of the world.

Thank you, superheroes in life.
