In Journey to the West, why did Guanyin look for three apprentices instead of four for Tang Seng?

Because Buddhism pays attention to the truth of ninety-nine and three lines, it has been clearly explained in the original text, which is also the meaning of the Buddha, so Tang Seng must be three apprentices, and he can't be the master of this matter at all.

Because the three apprentices represent greed and hatred, Guanyin also wants to use this way to make Tang Seng understand these three mistakes, so he will choose three apprentices.

Because each person has a layer of symbolism, each representing a different humanity, such a number is just right.

Guanyin Bodhisattva chose Sun Wukong because Sun Wukong is a variable between heaven and earth, and according to legend, he is a stone monkey born with a drop of blood from Nuwa Niangniang after thousands of years of wind and sun. He had no father or mother, and he did not obey discipline. Once the heavens stirred up the birthday of the Queen Mother, kicked over the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun, and destroyed the peach orchard.

When he went to the sea, he beat the dragon king and confiscated the Dinghai God Needle. I went to the underworld and changed the age of life and death. Even the Jade Emperor's nephew Erlang God, Li Jing, the king of Tota, and the third prince Nezha, were helpless against Sun Wukong.

In the end, if the Buddha came forward, he only pressed Sun Wukong under Wuzhi Mountain for 500 years. So there is such a character who can destroy the world and turn the world upside down, who can sit still. If he walks into the demonic path and fights against the heavenly court, who can subdue him.

Therefore, it is the best policy to send him to learn scriptures and cultivate the Tao to become an immortal, and to accept it for his own use.

Because the four Tang monks and apprentices are all more powerful characters, they all have their own thoughts, and they all have their own needs, in order to let them have better teamwork ability, so Guanyin Bodhisattva chose the four of them when choosing, they can check and balance each other, and they can work together.

Because the four Tang monks and apprentices all have very special identities, not only are they strong in force, but they are also more complementary in terms of personality, and they can only pass the test of ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties when they go together.

Because the personalities of the four of them are completely different, they are very powerful, and each of them has their own thoughts and wants their own things.

In Journey to the West, the four Tang monks and apprentices are called Tang Seng, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing.

He likes Zhu Bajie the most. Because Bajie can talk and please Tang Seng, Tang Seng likes him the most.

I like Sun Wukong the most, because Sun Wukong not only has very strong combat power, but also can protect her at critical times.

I like Sha Wujing the most. He was diligent along the way, and he did all the dirty work without complaint. The character is honest and honest at the same time, and he is very reliable at critical times.

Because these three apprentices are capable enough, and their magical powers are particularly vast, they can protect Tang Seng to the west.

Because there are too few apprentices, the journey to learn scriptures in the west is very long, and there are many difficulties, so the three apprentices perform their own duties.

Because if you do this, the process of learning the scriptures will be very smooth, and it will also allow Tang Seng to transform the three of them.
