Which Bajie Is Zhu Bajie?

What does "Bajie" in Zhu Bajie mean? Zhu Bajie in "Journey to the West" received the precepts from Guanyin Bodhisattva when he was still called Zhu Ganghe, and gave up the five kinds of meat and three kinds of disgust. "Five meat" is related to Buddhist precepts and refers to five vegetables with pungent odors, including garlic, garlic, xingqu, scallion, and green onion. Their common feature is that eating them will make people's breath become turbid. Most of the purposes of Buddhist precepts are to keep people awake and not to delay their practice, so they are not allowed to eat. The "three disgusts" are related to Taoist rules, and refer to the meat of wild geese, dogs and mullet. It is said that these three animals are familiar with human rules. If they eat them, the gods of heaven and earth will be unhappy, so they cannot eat them. What are the five elements corresponding to Tang Monk's master and his disciples? There are many details in the original work of "Journey to the West" that coincide with the Five Elements. In fact, Tang Monk and his disciples also correspond to the Five Elements. Take Sun Wukong as an example. The five elements of Sun Wukong belong to gold. In "Journey to the West", "Jin Gong" is used many times to describe Wukong. "Gold" and "Gong" together are "", which is the ancient word for "lead". In alchemy, it is said that "true lead produces Geng". Geng (the five elements belong to gold) is one of the ten heavenly stems, and the corresponding earthly branch is Shen (the five elements belong to gold). The corresponding zodiac sign of Shen is the monkey. Moreover, the five elements say that gold is born from earth, and Sun Wukong jumped out of the stone. Gold also represents punishment and killing. Sun Wukong has a bad temper and a strong murderous spirit. His racial characteristics correspond to gold in the five elements. Why is the last difficulty of the Eighty-one Dilemma again in Tongtian River? The 81st difficulty in "Journey to the West" is called "Tongtian River Encounters a Turtle Wetting the Scriptures". It means that the Tang Monk and his disciples returned to the Tongtian River and met the old turtle that carried them across the river. As a result, the Tang Monk and his disciples forgot the old turtle's previous instructions. The old turtle was angry and threw them and the scriptures into the Tongtian River. Guanyin Bodhisattva wants to add this difficulty in order to "nine-nine return to true nature". Nine and nine overlap, reach the extreme, and return to the original point, that is, return to the true nature, which means that a person's cultivation has reached the purest state. The old lady in Tongtian River represents the origin. The last difficulty before Tang Monk's merits are perfected is to return to his origin and authenticity. Only then can he achieve the return to unity. Open this book and understand the profound Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist culture in "Journey to the West"!
