According to the plot setting of the original Journey to the West, why is Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor

Journey to the West is an existence that every Chinese knows, even if you have not read the original work, you must have seen film and television works, and many film and television works are mixed with some stories of Journey to the West. According to the original plot setting of Journey to the West, we all know that the landlord's Xianzhen Yuanzi has a very high status, he raises a ginseng fruit tree in Wuzhuangguan, and this ginseng fruit tree mortals can live to 360 years old as long as they smell it, and if they are lucky enough to eat such one, they can live to 47,000 years. From this setting, we can see that Zhengatom is a very powerful character, Sun Wukong is already very powerful, Sun Wukong in the original book is much more powerful than Sun Wukong in film and television works.

But what is the result? was still subdued by Zhen Yuanzi with a few magic weapons, and he put them all into his sleeves with one move. <>

But we all know that it was Guanyin Guanyin who finally solved this matter, and he used his magic weapon to restore all the ginseng fruit trees and ginseng fruits, and also helped Sun Wukong resolve this crisis. So why can't Zhen Yuanzi repair it himself, and let Guanyin fix it? Is it not even as good as Guanyin?

Let's take a good look at this topic, maybe you will have a different idea after reading it. Zhen Yuanzi He doesn't take all the immortals in his eyes, and from the mouths of the two of them, he can know that Zhen Yuanzi will not worship any immortals, he just worships the earth. It can also be said that in the Three Realms, he holds the power of life and death, because the ginseng fruit is in his hands.

And Sun Wukong's toppling of his ginseng fruit tree is also in his plan, we can understand if we think about it casually, Zhen Yuanzi wants to borrow Sun Wukong's hand to tell the immortals that he has the method of immortality, and if anyone dares to provoke him, then the consequence is that there is no life-sustaining medicine to eat. In fact, there is also a setting for immortality, that is, immortals are not really immortal, but rely on eating some elixir and peach and ginseng fruit to maintain their lifespan. Therefore, the Queen Mother of the West, Taishang Laojun, and Zhen Yuanzi hold the power of life and death in the entire fairy world, and no one can afford to provoke them.

From such a position, do you still think that Zhen Yuanzi is not as good as Guanyin? Zhen Yuanzi just wants to take over Guanyin's hand to convey a message to everyone, and if you want to live forever, you have to come to talk to me Zhen Yuanzi.

Because according to the plot setting of the original Journey to the West, Zhen Yuanzi is a mortal with profound mana, so he is not as good as Guanyin Bodhisattva.

There is no doubt that Zhen Yuanzi's status must be inferior to Guanyin. In terms of dignity and inferiority, it is impossible for Zhen Yuanzi to be polite to Guanyin, and if Guanyin is not higher than Zhen Yuanzi, he will not dare to sit in the main seat. Zhen Yuanzi's name as the ancestor of the earth immortal is indeed very majestic, but no matter how majestic he is, he is only an earth immortal after all.

Compared with the ancestors of the earth immortals and the heavenly immortals, it is always the relationship between the head of the chicken and the tail of the phoenix.

The ancestor of the earth immortals is the one who represents Zhen Yuanzi and is the oldest among the immortals who live on the earth, Zhen Yuanzi's Wuzhuang view only sacrifices to heaven and earth, and only geniuses in heaven and earth can afford Zhen Yuanzi's incense, Zhen Yuanzi's generation can be listed with Sanqing, and he is naturally the ancestor of the immortals on the ground.

1. The identity of Zhen Yuanzi

In the ** of Journey to the West, Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of the earth immortals, and Sun Wukong has not heard of his identity, Zhen Yuanzi's Wuzhuang view has a ginseng fruit tree that existed before the world was opened, Sun Wukong stole the ginseng fruit and overthrew the ginseng fruit tree, only to know that he had caused a big disaster. Zhen Yuanzi's Wuzhuang Temple only sacrifices to heaven and earth, unlike other Taoist temples that are dedicated to the three Qing and four emperors. According to what Zhen Yuanzi said, Sanqing is a friend of Zhen Yuanzi, the Fourth Emperor is the old man of Zhen Yuanzi, and the rest of the people are under Zhen Yuanzi.

2. The worldview of Journey to the West

Zhen Yuanzi's identity starts with the setting of Journey to the West. The beginning of Journey to the West tells the world view of Journey to the West, and according to the setting in Journey to the West, the life of the Emperor of Heaven has a total of one yuan. One yuan can be divided into 12 associations, each of which is 10,800 years, that is, each yuan is 129,600 years.

At the end of the meeting, everything in heaven and earth will disappear, and the lifespan of heaven and earth is close to the limit, and at the last meeting, the world will re-enter a state of chaos. After that, it officially entered the next yuan meeting. At the time of the sub-meeting, the roots of heaven and earth began to appear, and after 5,400 years, the heaven and earth would be born, and after another 5,400 years, the earth would appear in the next meeting, and at the time of the Yinhui, the living beings would appear.

3. The identity of the ancestor of the earth immortals

Therefore, according to the setting in the story, this atom probably attained enlightenment after the birth of heaven and before the birth of the earth, and time probably did not enter the ugly meeting when the earth was born. And the setting of the ginseng fruit tree happens to be somewhat related to this. Ginseng fruit trees bloom once every 3,000 years, bear fruit every 3,000 years, mature after another 3,000 years, and can only be eaten after 10,000 years.

And the ginseng fruit tree was born in the chaotic period, before the heaven and earth opened. It will be 10,800 years later, so the generation of Zhen Yuanzi is indeed very high. The earth immortal also refers to the immortals who live on the earth, and with the generation of Zhen Yuanzi, it can indeed be regarded as the ancestor of the earth immortal.

The treatment of the ancestor of the earth immortals was very good, he was guarding the orchard at that time, and this orchard was the orchard of life, and he could manage and distribute these ginseng fruits.

The treatment of this "Earth Immortal Ancestor" is very high, and then it will not be restrained, and the power is relatively large.

Zhen Yuanzi is.

An immortal in the Taoist system in "Journey to the West" only appears in "Journey to the West". There is no such person in the traditional Chinese Taoist system of immortals. There is no description of his power, master, or predecessor in "Journey to the West".

So that's an unanswered question. Zhenyuan Daxian is a character in "Journey to the West", the ancestor of the earth immortals, and the town of Dao.

Journey to the West", Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the earth immortals, and the heavenly immortals.

Zhen Yuanzi is an immortal in the Taoist system in "Journey to the West", and he only appears in "Journey to the West". There is no such person in the traditional Chinese Taoist system of immortals. There is no description of his power, master, or predecessor in "Journey to the West".

So that's an unanswered question. Zhenyuan Daxian is a character in "Journey to the West", the ancestor of the earth immortals, and the town of Dao.

1: Taoist classics Hongyun collected disciples Pangu, Taiyi, and Nuwa ......Who else forgot, I'm sorry 2: Pangu obeys Hong.

Yun instructed to open the heavens to prove the Taoist body, and the Yuan Shen turned into three clears. Sanqing apprenticed to Hongyun again.

3: I'm not sure if this is right, but 1 and 2 are right, and the flood ** Hongyun is made up after Pangu. Therefore, the ancestor of the immortal path should be good luck.

4: By the way, let's talk about the difference between Taiyi and Daluo. Sanqing is the authentic Xuanmen, from the Sanqing Gate, collectively referred to as Da Luo Xuanmen, and the others are called Taiyi Xuanmen, which is the "Taiyi Xuanmen" mentioned by the Wuzhuang Guan boy in Journey to the West

Because his status is far inferior to Guanyin. The Journey to the West of the Gods and Demons of the Ming Dynasty can be described as a bright pearl in China's literary world that cannot be ignored. This ** takes the apocryphal "Monkey King" Sun Wukong as the protagonist, narrating the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, the "epic of gods and demons" in which the holy monk Xuanzang traveled all the way west to learn scriptures.

In the book "Ninety-Nine Eighty-One Difficulties", Tang monks and apprentices have traveled all the way, and they have really encountered many famous masters of the Three Realms. Among them, the "strongest" is probably Zhen Yuanzi, the "ancestor of the earth immortals" of Wuzhuang Guan.

However, this "ancestor of the earth immortals" with a high status in the Three Realms, in the later text, "bows" to Guanyin in the Buddha realm, which is really puzzling. According to the boy of Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi is one of the heavenly powers who "is friends with Sanqing and old people with Siyu", why should he be so "low-voiced" to Guanyin? Actually, this is also very understandable.

The so-called "earth immortals" are scattered immortals who have not entered the heavenly court and wander in the human world. Zhen Yuanzi's home, there is a "ginseng fruit tree", after taking ginseng fruit, people can suddenly increase nine thousand yang life, Zhen Yuanzi from the Hongmeng era, it was lucky to cultivate it to the home, therefore, the ginseng fruit tree, also known as "the spiritual root of the world".

Zhen Yuanzi has been cultivating since the Hongmeng era, so it seems that his qualifications are indeed few people who can match him. Perhaps when Sanqing, Siyu and others had not yet "developed", they did call Zhen Yuanzi brothers. It's just that hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and these former "old people" have already become high-powered Taoist ancestors and ancestor-level figures; And Zhen Yuanzi, who can only pass the effect of "ginseng fruit", has been in the realm of "earth immortals" and is not allowed to soar.

In other words, he has been "struggling" for hundreds of thousands of years.

Therefore, those "old friends" back then are now also "disdainful" of him. Although Zhen Yuanzi used the experience of the year as a capital to brag, he also understood that he was no longer qualified to be "on a par" with those people. Therefore, he took the initiative to give Guanyin a soft face.

In the whole Journey to the West, the power of Buddhism is greater than that of Taoism, and Taoist people are a head shorter once they meet Buddhist people.

Because Guanyin has a high status and is loved by many gods, he has to pay homage.

Because Zhen Yuanzi knew that his status in the heavenly court would not be too high, it was better to be the boss in the mortal world.

Because Zhen Yuanzi's strength is very strong, he is the ancestor of the earth immortals, it must be very easy for such a person to want to go to the heavenly court to be an official, but he doesn't want to be bound by the heavenly court.

I think the main reason why Zhen Yuanzi in Journey to the West is reluctant to serve in Heavenly Court is because he is reluctant to give up his ginseng fruit, and if he falls to Heavenly Court, it will be difficult to preserve his ginseng fruit.

Because Zhen Yuanzi's status is far inferior to Guanyin. When it comes to the "first master" of the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties in "Journey to the West", there is no doubt that he is the master of Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi. Sun Wukong, the protagonist of Journey to the West, once made trouble in the Heavenly Palace and swept away the gods, which can be described as an "invincible hand that swept the heavens", but in front of Zhen Yuanzi, he could not support three moves and two styles, and he was easily "captured".

It is said that this mysterious Wuzhuang Guan Guan is the "ancestor of the earth immortals" between heaven and earth, and his mana and status are the best among the immortals of the Three Realms. His boy even said that his master and the "Three Clears and Four Emperors" are all equal existences.

But judging from the original text, Zhen Yuanzi seems to be far less powerful than his boy's mouth. At least one of the three Qings, Yuan Shi Tianzun, issued a decree, and this "Earth Immortal Ancestor" was going to the heavenly realm to listen to the lecture; Buddhism Guanyin Bodhisattva came, Zhen Yuanzi was even more sincerely afraid, bowed down to apologize, and called himself "Xiao Ke's deed, how dare you bother the Bodhisattva", humble and unashamed. He is also the head of the earth immortals, why is he so low-voiced?

The reason is very simple, it is because he is really not powerful. At least, it is far inferior to Guanyin, who is not under the Taishang Laojun.

The so-called "Ancestor of Earth Immortals" sounds very good, but to put it bluntly, he is the oldest among the "scattered immortals" who have not entered the Heavenly Court. What did Zhen Yuanzi rely on to become this "ancestor of earth immortals"? It all started with the ginseng fruit trees he cultivated at home.

This kind of divine object, originally Hongmeng's first judgment, when the heaven and earth first opened, a spiritual root born in chaos, in the original book, is also called "the spiritual root that opens the heavens and the earth", and the "ginseng fruit" on it, eating one, can increase the longevity of 9,000 years. Zhen Yuanzi is also a veteran immortal who began to cultivate in the flood era, and at that time, he got the ginseng fruit tree by chance.

So, although his cultivation has been standing still for hundreds of thousands of years, relying only on the "ginseng fruit" has allowed him to "survive" until the era of Journey to the West. Those "Taoist friends" who were on an equal footing with him back then have now become giants with high and powerful positions in the heavenly realm, and Zhen Yuanzi is still just an "earth immortal". So, he also had to smile at these former Taoist friends in a low voice.

Because Zhen Yuanzi's status is low, his status in the heavenly court is far inferior to Guanyin.

Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of the earth immortals, and his status is extremely high, why did he coax Guanyin when he saw it?

I think this should be Zhen Yuanzi's mana and status are far inferior to Guanyin, although he is known as the ancestor of the earth immortals, but he boasts a little more, far inferior to Guanyin.
