In Journey to the West, does it belittle Taoism and exalt Buddhism?

"Journey to the West" does have the intention of belittling Taoism and elevating Buddhism, because the main reason is that the dynasty where Luo Guanzhong, the author of "Journey to the West", was in a dynasty that attached great importance to Buddhism and belittled Taoism, so he deliberately exalted Buddhism in "Journey to the West".

I think there is indeed a suspicion of belittling Taoism and exalting Buddhism in Journey to the West, but this is just a legend after all.

I think this is indeed the case, because it has always advocated believing in Buddhism, attaching great importance to Buddhism, and learning scriptures from the West and the like are all promoting Buddhism.

It can't be reflected, this is just **, it is made up by later generations, it is not true, the original content is not the correct content.

The ideology is unreliable, and only the embodiment of strength is relatively correct.

The Buddha's victory over Wukong was originally meant to save him. If you don't make a move, the Jade Emperor will definitely find a great immortal to make a move (there are some great immortals who can go to Wukong's death, such as Taishang Laojun), and Wukong will only have a dead end at that time. In addition, Rulai also wants to show his ability to the Jade Emperor, and in the end, the "Antiy Conference" is Rulai's proud work.

Wukong was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, eating iron pills and drinking copper juice, obviously making up for him the "gold" he was refining in the Bagua furnace. Second, others can't get close to him to avoid being victimized again. So after Sun Wukong came out, he said, "No old man has come to see him for five hundred years."

This is because no one else can approach him.

"Journey to the West" is not about Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, don't use the three realities to look at "Journey to the West".

In "Journey to the West", if Taoism and Buddhism compete, who is more powerful? Do you still need to think about it? This must be Taoism, then Buddhism is simply a class with an axe, then go to the thatched house with a lantern.

Taoism is our native religion. Many of the theories in Buddhism are derived from Taoism. It doesn't matter what kind of competition you have, whether it's a literary fight or a martial fight, Taoism is a complete victory.

If in "Journey to the West", the path of the four masters and apprentices to learn the scriptures is a rather conspiracy chess game, why don't Taoists appear much? This is the pattern, these petty profits are not like the eyes of Taoist bigwigs. It's like an adult watching a child play.

What's more, Sun Wukong can't win the Bull Demon King, but when the Heavenly Court encircled and suppressed Huaguo Mountain and Flame Mountain, the lineup that appeared was almost the same. Why are the results so different?

Sun Wukong casually entered the Nantianmen at that time and began to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace. How can it be so simple? Sun Wukong is just an important chess piece.

Furthermore, why do you only enter through the South Heavenly Gate and not through other gates? Because those who are behind the scenes can also control the four heavenly kings of the South Heavenly Gate, and the people of the remaining three gates have great reasons, and they can't control it at all. Although Taoism and Buddhism are, in the final analysis, both are a kind of practice.

But there are still levels of truth and truth, and Taoism is a complete victory!

It should be Buddhism that is more powerful.

Because the protagonists of "Journey to the West" believe in Buddhism, and the whole story is also written around the road to Buddha, Buddhism in the play has the aura of the protagonist compared with Taoism.

Buddhism is more powerful. In Journey to the West, the Buddha is the most powerful, and Taoism is not as good as Buddhism.

Taoism should be slightly better than Buddhism, Taoism is indisputable but has enough strength, Buddhism is not so powerful.
