Fa Qing: Snakes Around the Zen Mind

The Buddha and the Green Snake. A person who loves lust is like holding a torch. Walking against the wind, he is bound to have his hands burned. Pei Wende, you should return to secular life as soon as possible and marry me and return home. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— The author rambles: Although this article was inspired by me when I watched the cartoon White Snake, I hope everyone can distinguish the character of Qing Ji in this article from the character of Xiao Qing in White Snake. (I mention it here specifically to avoid feeling weird about the CP in White Snake Fusheng. If you are purely obsessed with Fa Qing in White Snake Fusheng, this article may not be suitable for you.) How to put it this way, regarding Xiao Qing, we can generally see it from three film and television works, one is "The Legend of White Snake", the other is "Green Snake" directed by Tsui Hark, and the White Snake series of cartoons we are watching now. Among them, I liked "Green Snake" directed by Tsui Hark very much. When I was in college, I read Li Bihua's original text. It has been so long that I don't remember much of the plot, but Xiao Qing's character is firmly imprinted in my heart. In my understanding, Green Snake should be rebellious, charming, refractory in nature, but also tender, and even longing for love. (These are all personal opinions! Personal opinions! Personal opinions!) In the White Snake series of cartoons released now, due to the changes of the times, coupled with the awakening of women's self-awareness, in order to cater to the audience's preferences, or for whatever considerations, the character of Green Snake on the screen has changed a lot. Although she looks as impulsive and casual as before, her character is tougher, and what she seeks and loves is purer and cleaner. In short, I feel that the difference is quite big. The character of Qing Ji I wrote is more complicated. First, she is a snake in nature and she is also a demon. As for her identity, she has three charms, and she cannot be as neat as in the cartoon; second, Fa Hai is in Historically, he was an accomplished monk. He was not a demonic monk. He was the son of a serious prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he became a monk on behalf of the prince. This kind of righteousness is not something ordinary people can have, so in my article, he will not take the initiative to talk to Qing Dynasty. What's wrong with Ji? He's a very upright Buddhist; thirdly, one of them is a seductress and the other a Buddhist, and I personally don't like the type of men pursuing women. I always feel that women are chosen. I like female characters to take the initiative, and I like women to be predators and choose people. There are probably so many men in the world, so she just falls in love with this one, and then goes to hook up with him, and then gets counterattacked or controlled hard. It is her choice after all. This is purely personal preference. I tried not to downgrade the image of Fa Hai. I personally don't like the feeling of Fa Hai becoming a subordinate in a green snake skirt. I prefer the feeling that although the male protagonist likes the female protagonist, he still retains his true feelings. This makes people feel that this male protagonist is not a love mind. After all, he is a great monk who talks about Tao all day long. How can he be a love mind? It is unreasonable. I try to be reasonable and if that fails, let me say nothing.
