In fact, it is not surprising at all, because Tang Yan is the belief and core of the learning team. He is the son of Chen Guangrui reincarnated by Jin Chan. More importantly, the Tang Priest, who practiced for the tenth time, still has a mouthful of Tang Priest's meat that can live forever, which makes him the target pursued by goblins and protected by immortals. This is due to his own quality and status. Of course, the most prominent thing about Tang Priest is his devotion to Buddhism and his firm confidence in the cause of learning Buddhism, especially the various tortures, threats and inducements from monsters. It can be said that Tang Priest is the embodiment of faith!
The Monkey King is one of the brightest corners in the Journey to the West. He was originally a stone, but he became a monkey because of "innocent show and bright moonlight" It can be said that he is a real person who is not subject to any constraints and ideological pollution. He became "the Monkey King" by virtue of his courage and wit. For greater freedom (immortality), travel around the world, seek immortality, and learn all kinds of superhuman skills. Then make a scene in hell, cross out the book of life and death, and refuse to accept Yan's management; Making havoc in heaven, flouting imperial power and feudal hierarchy, ignoring the order of the young and the old, "aiming at Tian Yao" conveyed a strong voice of pursuing freedom and personality liberation.
In addition to his rebellious character, he also embodies the spirit of courage, optimism, fearlessness and courage to struggle. On the way to learn from the scriptures, he never flinched. Hearing that there was a monster, Tang Priest cried, and Bajie was frightened. Only the Monkey King was very happy and thought it was "business". He is full of anger at this murderous monster; For the mutilated weak, he helped the poor and gave his life to save people in from the mire, and was finally named "Fighting Buddha".
Pig Bajie is the most comic image in The Journey to the West. He has many shortcomings: gluttony, lethargy, selfishness, laziness and lust. When you meet a beautiful woman, you are poor. What is even more ridiculous is that he saved 46 cents of private money and hid it in his fat ear. He is not a very determined member of the Buddhist scripture team. He always has to divide his luggage and go back to Gaolaozhuang to see his wife. He often blows a bad breath at Tang Priest and plays a little joke on the Monkey King. For goblins, fight if you can, and hide if you can't. In fact, these shortcomings and characteristics of Pig Bajie are natural manifestations of human nature. He is honest and never hypocritical. Moreover, he has many advantages. He is not afraid of being dirty, can bear hardships and be content, so he likes Pig Bajie very much.
Friar Sand doesn't talk much, and his martial arts are weaker than those of the two senior brothers. Moreover, he ate the golden cicada when he was banished to the world in the ninth century, so the crime was not too heavy. But since he embarked on the road of learning from the scriptures, he has been steadfast. The Monkey King left the team three times, and Pig Bajie always clamored for dismissal. Only Sha Wujing wholeheartedly protected the Tang Priest and took away the scriptures. He is loyal to Tang Priest. Every time the Tang Priest was captured by a demon, he shouted to the demon, "If you want to kill me, kill my old sand. Don't hurt my master for nothing. The loss is big! " For the two senior brothers, he maintained a friendship as simple as water, neither competing with the Monkey King for fame nor with Pig Bajie for profit. He is willing to play a supporting role, unknown. In a word, Friar Sand is the most United person in the Buddhist scriptures team, taking the overall situation into account, persevering, being indifferent to the heart and not asking for anything in return.
The Tang Priest is respectable, Wukong is respectable, Bajie is lovely, and Friar Sand is reliable. Each of them is an indispensable part of the team learning from the west.
