Why does Journey to the West mention Dongfang Shuo?

This is the authorWu ChengenPlay a "meme". Dongfang Shuo.

There are indeed people in history, and they are very famous, and they are not afraid of heaven and earth, and they are not afraid of talent. There is a legend among the folk that Dongfang Shuo became an immortal after his death and ate peaches. In "Journey to the West".

said that Dongfang Shuo secretly ate peaches, but he didn't say much, just mentioned it casually.

Dongfang Shuo was bold and ate peaches in folklore, and after Dongfang Shuo's death, he was favored by the Queen Mother and received a small official around him. Heavenly Court's Peach Society.

It was the Queen Mother who was responsible, and once the Queen Mother held a peach conference, Dongfang Shuo, as the Queen Mother's side, was naturally at the banquet. But he was not a seated guest, but a guard who stood by and served the Queen Mother.

But Dongfang Shuo was bold and dared to be in the Jinluan Hall when he was alive.

peeing, and after death, Chengxian steals a peach to eat, and there is no psychological burden on him. Standing aside and waiting for the call, at this time, a fairy sister walked past him with a peach, he rolled his eyes a few times, and took advantage of the fairy's inattention to steal a peach and put it in his arms.

Seeing that everyone in the hall began to eat and drink, the queen mother had no intention of summoning him, so he also took out the big peach from his arms and opened his mouth to eat it. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, the peach automatically flew to the queen mother's side. The gods at the banquet laughed, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh at this bold Dongfang Shuo, and then rewarded him with the peach.

Monkey king. It is already a well-known thing to ridicule Dongfang Shuo for stealing peaches Sun Wukong for stealing peaches, but he laughed at others for being thieves and stealing peaches. This scene happened when Sun Wukong put Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit tree.

uprooted, and later went to Emperor Donghua to ask for help. Emperor Donghua asked the boy next to him to pour two cups of tea to entertain Sun Wukong, but Sun Wukong smiled when he saw it:

Little thief, why did you come here, Donghua doesn't have a fairy peach for you to eat! ”

What Sun Wukong is talking about here is Dongfang Shuo, Dongfang Shuo is not afraid of the earth, and he is naturally not afraid of arguing with Sun Wukong, so he immediately returned the mouth:

Old thief, why did you come here, there is no elixir here for you to steal food! ”

The conversation between the two living treasures suddenly made Emperor Donghua laugh, and sent Dongfang Shuo to pour tea quickly, and there was no news about Dongfang Shuo since then.

On the whole, Dongfang Shuo in "Journey to the West" is just an interesting trick, and the author Wu Chengen is playing "stalks".

Because long before "Journey to the West" was written, there was a story among the folk that Dongfang Shuo became a god after his death and secretly ate peaches. Because Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West" also has a similar storyline, Wu Chengen mentioned Dongfang Shuo in passing.

When Dongfang Shuo was mentioned, Sun Wukong was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and it happened that he was an official of the Han Dynasty at that time, and he had to find a person without any background and criminal record to steal Pan Tao, so he chose Dongfang Shuo.

In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong and Dongfang Shuo will tease each other, just because both of them have had the experience of stealing peaches. This disgraceful experience is a stain on the lives of the two of them; Sun Wukong himself has a playful personality, and after seeing Dongfang Shuo, he will inevitably make jokes, but he never thought about shaking out his old troubles, which caused the two to ridicule each other.

Sun Wukong secretly ate peaches and ate openly, compared to Sun Wukong, Dongfang Shuo is much more low-key. He ate the peach secretly, not only avoiding everyone's eyes and ears, but also trying not to be noticed. As in the history of Heavenly Court, the two thieves who stole the peach were naturally included in the "blacklist".

If it weren't for Sun Wukong asking Emperor Donghua for help, he wouldn't have met Dongfang Shuo, thus starting the mode of mocking each other.

Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, leaving a deep impression on the gods in the heavenly realm. Although he later followed Tang Seng to the west to learn scriptures and had an official identity and organization, in the eyes of all the gods in the heavenly realm, Sun Wukong could not be on the stage in other places except for his strength, and he was still a hairy monkey.

Dongfang Shuo has such a mentality to look at Sun Wukong. When Sun Wukong came to look for Emperor Donghua, he naturally would not be polite to him. The words were full of sarcasm, which made the two ridicule each other, calling each other "old thief" and "little thief".

The same experience between the two not only brought the relationship closer to the two, but also made the two parties dissatisfied with each other, thinking that the other party's approach was too much and shamed them.

Sun Wukong thinks in his heart that Dongfang Shuo's actions are not bright enough, and even if he steals peaches, he has to show a lot of twists and turns. Dongfang Shuo also felt the same way, he felt that Sun Wukong had gone too far and embarrassed himself.

Such a situation, coupled with Sun Wukong's unobstructed mouth, likes to expose people's shortcomings, and he doesn't like others to expose his shortcomings. The sentence "little thief" aroused Dongfang Shuo's dissatisfaction, which made the two start to ridicule and have the title of "old thief".

Both of them are peach thieves, and they tease each other, but they are just fifty steps and a hundred steps.

Sun Wukong and Dongfang Shuo knew each other before, and Dongfang Shuo had stolen Sun Wukong's peaches in Huaguo Mountain before, so they teased each other.

Because Sun Wukong and Dongfang Shuo both went to steal the peach for some special reasons, the two of them teased each other.

Because they know each other's personalities, they are called like this, which also means that the relationship between the two people is very good.

Because Dongfang Shuo was a very brave person, he criticized Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty many times, and at that time, if he wanted to choose the best person to steal the peach, he had to choose a person with no background and criminal record, and he was the most suitable person in the world at that time.

Dongfang Shuo should be the prototype of the monkey stealing the peach. He was a mortal, intelligent, lively and bold. There is also a legend of Dongfang Shuo stealing the queen mother's peach.

Because Sun Wukong was in charge of the peach orchard at the time, Dongfang Shuo stole the peaches and caused the peaches inside to be lost, so that Sun Wukong was punished before he made trouble in the Heavenly Palace.

Dongfang Shuo is also in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and is in the same period as Sun Wukong in **. At that time, Dongfang Shuo was a bold mortal representative, stealing Pan Tao had to find a person without any background and criminal record, looking at the world at that time, Dongfang Shuo was the most suitable, had seen the world, was smart and bold, and was flexible. Otherwise, there would be no legend of Dongfang Shuo stealing the queen mother's peach.

Although Dongfang Shuo is a mortal, there is also a story of Dongfang Shuo stealing peaches, so he was also written into Journey to the West and became a fairy.

It is said that Sun Wukong knocked down the ginseng fruit tree, went around to seek a solution, came to the emperor of Donghua, and happened to meet Dongfang Shuo. Sun Wukong called Dongfang Shuo a thief, Dongfang Shuo ridiculed Sun Wukong as an old thief, what is going on?

It turns out that Dongfang Shuo is the reincarnation of the old star, and he also practices and learns the Tao, and often goes to overseas fairy islands in his dreams, and the heavenly fairyland. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew that Dongfang Shuo knew how to use Taoism, so he asked him to ask the Queen Mother to go down to the Dao. I hope that the Queen Mother can turn herself into an immortal.

Dongfang Shuo dared to disturb the Queen Mother, but he did not dare to refute the request of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. So he asked some fellow cultivators to disguise themselves as the queen mother and her entourage. The fake queen mother told Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for three days about the great truth of pure heart and few desires, which disappointed the desire-filled Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The cultivation is so hard, let's continue to be the emperor.

At this time, someone secretly told Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that Dongfang Shuo invited a fake queen mother. The True Queen Mother has never descended to earth. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had long suspected that Dongfang Shuo had invited a batch of counterfeit goods, but there was no evidence.

Finally, I thought of peach. It is said that mortals can prolong their life by eating peaches, and when they are such an old emperor, it is time to make up for their lifespan.

said to Dongfang Shuo, since you can invite the queen mother down, then it should be no problem to ask her to reward her with a peach, right? Dongfang Shuo was dumbfounded, he knew that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not easy to fool, so it was better to confess and be lenient. Where to find the peach this time? Get a fake one, and as soon as you eat it, the stuffing will be exposed.

Both horizontal and vertical are dead, Dongfang Shuo had to go to the Queen Mother. Who would have thought that the Queen Mother went to Lingshan and listened to Lafayette's lectures. So I thought of stealing.

At this time, the god of the courtyard who manages the peach orchard is a second goods, thinking that this is the important place of heaven, who eats the bear's heart and leopard gall to steal the peach. I have managed the peach orchard for hundreds of years, not to mention a peach, even a leaf is not missing. The god of the courtyard saw that the Queen Mother went to Lingshan, and he was even more unscrupulous.

Before the gate of Pan Taoyuan was closed, a group of subordinates were called to fight the landlord.

Dongfang Shuo turned into a little fairy and came to Pan Taoyuan. I saw a group of people fighting the landlord. That's the joy in my heart.

Ran into the yard and met a group of fairies watering trees and weeding. said that she was the granddaughter of the god of the courtyard, and she picked peaches according to her grandfather's instructions. Pick it up and run.

A group of fairies looked at it, this is okay? The group sued the god of the courtyard, saying that he was guarding and stealing.

After the queen mother came back, as soon as her glasses opened and closed, she knew that Dongfang Shuo had stolen the peach. Knowing that Dongfang Shuo was to complete the order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he had no choice but to steal the peach. At the same time, because of the face of Emperor Donghua, he didn't bother with Dongfang Shuo.

When Sun Wukong was managing the peach orchard, he was a real guard and a thief, stealing countless peaches. The Three Realms of the last trouble are all known. So as soon as the two met, Sun Wukong called Dongfang Shuo a thief.

Sun Wukong has lived much longer than Dongfang Shuo, fifty steps and a hundred steps, Dongfang Shuo said that Sun Wukong is an old thief.
