Chapter 561: Monkey King, a scholar in white
?In fact, in addition to Ma Jin's version of Journey to the West, and the relationship between the style of the original work of "Journey to the West", there is another issue that needs to be paid attention to by Ma Jin.
That is, the story of the story of the story similar to Journey to the West...
I want to talk about it here that although the story of "Journey to the West" was only published in the Ming Dynasty, its story began to spread since the Tang Dynasty.
The main framework of "Journey to the West" is that the Tang monk travels west to seek scriptures. This is based on the adaptation of the history of the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the monk Xuanzang smuggled out of the film and went to India to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. It took seventeen years to retrieve more than 600 pieces of history back to the Tang Dynasty.
When Xuanzang returned to the Tang Dynasty, he was ordered to translate Buddhist scriptures. His disciple Bian Ji wrote "The Record of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty" based on his experiences and experiences in traveling west. After Xuanzang passed away, his other two disciples, Huili and Yanqi, compiled a book called "The Biography of Master Sanzang of Dacien Temple" based on his experiences in traveling west.
Among them, in order to promote the achievements of his master, Huili and others described some deifications of Xuanzang in the book. His magical colors became increasingly strong on the way west, becoming a legend and circulating later.
In later generations, many scholars believed that "Biography of Master Sanzang of Dacien Temple" can be said to be the earliest origin of "Journey to the West".
………
By the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the story of traveling west to obtain scriptures had spread, and there were many records about this period in later generations.
Later, the story of Journey to the West has been circulating in China. The existing Xuanzang mural of the Dunhuang Grottoes contains the image of a monkey walking hand in the monkey. According to investigation, this mural was written around the early years of Western Xia, which is also the earliest image of Sun Wukong.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, there were already published books on Journey to the West, such as "The Tale of the Three Treasures of the Book of the Book of the Tang Dynasty". In this book, Sun Wukong was a white-clothed man who called himself "the 84,000 copper-headed and iron-browed macaque king in Ziyun Cave in Huaguo Mountain."
Well, I want to complain here, the Great Sage also has a gentle moment...
In the Song and Yuan dynasties, there was a play called "Monkey Chen Guangrui Jiangliu" in the Southern Opera, which explained the family background of Tang monks. In Wu Changling's zaju "Tang Sanzang to Seek the West", four masters and disciples appeared. In the "Erlang Shensuo Monkey King" and "Journey to the West" at the reciprocity of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, they described the origin of Sun Wukong and the zaju performances that made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace.
It is precisely the existence of these operas and storytelling books that provided the basis for Wu Chengen's creation of "Journey to the West", which gave birth to the Chinese gods and demons.
…………
However, that was in another time and space, and was working hard, because of the parallel effect, there was no such person as Wu Chengen.
However, although there are no Wu Chengen, there are many stories about Journey to the West that have been circulated since the Tang Dynasty, and even several operas have been written, but it may have very little impact due to quality issues.
On this basis, Ma Jin actually needs to bear a certain amount of criticism when he compiled "Journey to the West".
Of course, Ma Jin, who wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", has long been accustomed to this criticism. Thinking about the publication of "Three Kingdoms", it was not that no one criticized him for falsifying history and disrespecting his ancestors, Balabara, and Ma Jin ignored him.
Because as the Three Kingdoms continues to be published and the influence gradually fermented, there are more and more loyal book fans, and there is no need for him to speak, and these people are defeated by book fans.
…………
Ma Jinyou still remembers that two years ago, there was an old Confucian scholar who had committed some illness. Maybe he wanted to attract attention and became famous by scolding Ma Jin.
Suddenly, he caught the "Three Kingdoms", which had been completed for nearly a year, and was criticized in the newspaper. The article was extremely unpleasant, which angered a large number of loyal book fans of "Three Kingdoms".
These book fans joined forces and first found more than a dozen well-known writers in the capital, asking them to write articles to scold the old Confucian scholar, and then spent the wallet to buy the top 20 sales newspapers in the capital, and published the articles that scold the old Confucian scholars.
For seven days, all the famous newspapers in the capital scolded the old Confucian scholar's articles, and even the magazine joined in the fun, and they published two articles. The momentum was so great that it caused a sensation in the entire capital.
At first, the old Confucian scholar was not surrendered and rebuked him on the newspaper. As a result, the book fans became even more angry. Not only did they scold him on the newspaper, but they also spontaneously gathered a group of people to find the old Confucian scholar's residence, hoping to teach this guy a lesson.
It was still Ma Jin who was afraid of something wrong, so he sent someone to control the situation, otherwise this old Confucian scholar would be able to get rid of his arms and legs. However, this old Confucian scholar escaped and could not stay in the capital. He packed up his things and returned to his hometown, and never appeared in the capital again.
…………………
After this battle, everyone also realized that it was not a big deal to scold Ma Jin. The eight words "The old thief of Jin and Ma were lost in conscience", but outsiders still can't tell the difference between true and false, love or hate, what kind of feelings does outsiders have in the first place.
But you must not involve slandering what he wrote, especially those who are popular with "Three Kingdoms" and "Fengshen", one of whom is loyal book fans is crazy, and they are so anxious that they dare to squat at the door to ambush you.
With the example of "Three Kingdoms", Ma Jin is not worried about this issue.
Unless someone is really brain-diseased, he will come to him with a "speech is not nonsense, and adaptation is not random", and Ma Jin will also let him understand that the surname Wu and Ma in "Journey to the West" is not the surname Liu...

September 25
The first and second chapters of "Journey to the West" "The spiritual roots are nurtured and the source of the birth, and the great way of cultivation of the mind and nature are born", "Understanding the wonderful truth of Bodhi, and shaving the demons and returning to the original and uniting the soul" is completed.
Ma Jin called Chai Yue, who is now the editor-in-chief of Beijing Magazine, to come and collect the manuscript.
Princess's Mansion.
Compared to the young girl Ma Jin met six years ago, Chai Yue, who had been in charge of the Magazine headquarters for two years, is now full of a slight intellectuality as a female author, but the rest is full of strong women's sharpness and seclusion.
Chai Yue, who is almost twenty-two years old this year and has become an "old leftover woman" in her hard work, has no intention of getting married yet. She is immersed in the work of "Magazine" or writing books every day.
Yan Yan, the Chai family, and even Ma Jin introduced some young talents to her, but Chai Yue didn't even see her. Ma Jin originally thought that she had a part in her heart or had abnormal sexual orientation, but after asking Chai Yue for questioning, the result was that she was obsessed with work and had no intention of getting married.
Isn't this a joke?
The social atmosphere of being a big fight is here. A 22-year-old woman is not married yet, and people cannot talk about you behind her back. Either you are sick or you are not clean. Anyway, it is not a comment.
Every time Ma Jin looks at his only female disciple, he can't help but regret bringing her into the magazine. Isn't this ruining others?
This has become a heart-wrenching problem for Ma Jin. He thinks about Chai Yue’s marriage when he has time. At this moment, he saw Chai Yue in front of him reading the manuscript carefully, and his heart moved.
"Xiao Qi..."
Before he finished speaking, Chai Yue stood up and said, "Master, I have something to do, so let's go first."
After saying that, he bowed to Ma Jin and left the room in two or three steps.
Ma Jin: “………”
