Hello everyone, I am Li Pan

Book of Mid-Autumn Festival
Journey to the West
you will say
This Journey to the West is about the four masters and disciples of Monk Tang.
The Story of the Western Paradise
Why does it have anything to do with the Mid-Autumn Festival?
but i want to tell you
Journey to the West
There are really many stories related to the Mid-Autumn Festival
Today we specially invited to China
Teacher Sun Dahai from the Art Institute
Ask him to tell us about it from a professional perspective
Journey to the West and Mid-Autumn Festival
Hello Mr. Sun
Hello Li Pan
Hello, audience friends
I am Sun Dahai from the Chinese Academy of Arts
I'm glad to be with you today
talk about journey to the west
Then Journey to the West directly describes
What about the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th?
ah only one place
It's the 29th time
Princess Baihuaxiu asks Tang Monk again
In the letter forwarded to his father, King Baoxiang
wrote
Thirteen years ago, on the 15th day of the cool night of August 15th
With the favor of my father, the King held banquets in various palaces.
After enjoying the moonlight and enjoying the music, tap the grand event
In the midst of joy
Unconsciously, a gust of fragrant wind flashed out a golden golden blue noodle
The green-haired devil captures the girl
Drive the auspicious light and wait until midnight in the mountains where there is no one
What about Mid-Autumn Festival?
Symbolizes reunion in Chinese traditional culture
Novel
In fact, two kinds of reunions were written around this point in time.
The first one is the reunion of Princess Baihuaxiu and her relatives
That is what we mentioned earlier
This reflects a kind of
Human relations
Warmth, what about the second kind?
It's the reunion of Princess Baihuaxiu and the yellow-robed monster
Uh, the yellow-robed monster kidnapped Princess Baihuaxiu
How could it be a reunion?
Actually, in the book
There is a paragraph about Princess Baihuaxiu
And the background of the front edge of the yellow robe monster
What about Princess Baihuaxiu? She turned out to be a maid in the Heavenly Palace.
The monster in the yellow robe is Kui Mulang from the 28 constellations
Two people have feelings
But I'm afraid it will defile the holy land of heaven
So the maid first descended to the realm and became Princess Baihuaxiang
Kui Mulan turned into a demon
Yellow-robed monster on Mid-Autumn Festival night
Take Princess Baihuaxiang to Donghu
The two have been married for 13 years
This is also a kind of reunion between lovers.
Um
Yes, Teacher Sun
Just like the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion story you just shared
Besides these stories
There are actually many Mid-Autumn Festivals in Journey to the West
Su, for example,
The most common element we see is Chang'e.
I remember in the novel Journey to the West
I also saw other names similar to Chang'e
For example, like a horizontal moth
vertical moth
So what does all this have to do with Chang'e?
Well, actually, it's in Journey to the West
Ah, I wrote a lot about Chang’e.
But let’s watch the 1986 version of the TV series
There are only two plots directly related to Chang'e
One place is more familiar to everyone
Marshal Tianpeng teases Chang'e
What about the other paragraph?
It's the Jade Rabbit Spirit in the sky
Then he goes to Tianzhu to cause trouble
Later, Chang'e took away the Jade Rabbit Essence
But if we compare it with the novel
will find a lot more rich content
Then Chang'e first appeared in the "Diligence and Thrift Guicang"
Writing is permanent
Just make me eternal
That means eternal life
So what about the Western Han Dynasty?
Because I want to avoid the taboo name of Emperor Liu Heng of Han Dynasty
So I say that I am forever
"Heng" was added next to the word "female"
Become permanent or what?
Has it grown like this?
Heng'e and Chang'e have become similar terms.
What about the Southern and Northern Dynasties?
We can also see Chang'e
There is also a saying by Sue
In some Taoist classics from the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties
We'll see some elements based on the Chang'e myth
And a new Taoist immortal was born
Tai Yin Xing Jun
This lunar star is in Journey to the West
it becomes
The main god in this lunar palace who leads all Chang'e's
So, if we look at it all the way, we can find out
Chang'e, Heng'e, Su'e, Taiyin Xingjun, etc.
They are a kind of appellation of Chang'e in different periods
And in the novel Journey to the West
He showed his full potential
Different aspects of this Chang'e
How about this?
We can see a rather large-scale
There is also a hierarchical group of monthly ancestors
After understanding this, let’s review the 1986 version of the TV series
He cannot have too much capacity
so
When he was dealing with the storyline related to Chang'e
Just the people we just talked about
Immortals in the Moon Palace
Unified and merged into one image of Chang'e
On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival
Re-read the original Journey to the West
Understand the evolution of the Chang'e myth
still more meaningful
Teacher Sun, you just mentioned the Jade Rabbit Spirit.
So as an important Mid-Autumn Festival element?
We generally associate it with Chang'e
It is even believed that the Jade Rabbit is Chang'e's pet
So, uh, a TV series?
Some film and television works are also expressed in this way
But according to what you just said
In the novel Journey to the West
There are so many clones of Chang'e
Then this jade rabbit
Which fairy's pet is it?
So Jade Rabbit and Chang'e
In the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties
The period is actually related to the moon
The imagination of this myth has something to do with it
But they have always been in a
separate state
And in this Northern and Southern Dynasties period
There is a saying in "Father-in-law who Removes Makeup" that is hidden in one set
Su'e and Hou Ting
Rabbit and Su'e are together here.
How about Journey to the West?
This jade rabbit
Not in the sense we are talking about today
Chang'e's pet
It is more like a spiritual beast in the moon palace
In the novel Journey to the West
The one who really had a lot of interactions with this jade rabbit
It’s the character of Fairy Su’e
Once he fought this Jade Rabbit
Then this Jade Rabbit will hold a grudge in his heart
Later, Fairy Su'e descended to earth and was reborn as
Princess of Tianzhu
Then this Jade Rabbit sneaked into this human world secretly
He also turned into the princess of Tianzhu Kingdom
And put this real princess of Tianzhu
Abandoned in this wilderness
In the 86 version of Journey to the West TV series?
No performance
The grudge between Fairy Su'e and Jade Rabbit
This is also when we read the original work of Journey to the West
A new understanding can be obtained
ah so that's the case
Well, apart from this Chang'e and Jade Rabbit
There are many Mid-Autumn Festival elements in Journey to the West.
like the moon
So the description of the moon in the novel
Does it have a special meaning?
Then please ask Teacher Sun to explain it to us.
In Journey to the West, there are actually many elements about the moon.
But it is often general
Description of the moon
That's the 36th chapter of breaking through the side door.
Seeing the moonlight
This time
Ah, Tang Monk and his disciples are staying at Baolin Temple.
At night, Tang Monk saw a full moon
It gave me a feeling of the return of the moon.
Even when I write poetry, I will feel the same feeling of returning to my hometown.
At this time, Sun Wu
He just came over to comfort this Tang Monk.
What does Sun Wukong think?
The hardships we are going through now
In fact, it is a necessary path for us to practice cultivation.
As long as we have firm faith
You will definitely be able to obtain the true scripture
Return to hometown
Here we see Tang Monk and Sun Wukong
It's like the master-disciple relationship shown in TV dramas
Just a little different
Uh, in the TV series
Tang Seng often plays the role of a Taoist fighter.
To educate three apprentices
And in the novel
Tang Monk
often show weakness and wavering
At this time, it was Sun Wukong, the disciple
Enlighten and motivate your own master
I think
This is also when we read the original work of Journey to the West
a new understanding that can be gained
Okay, thank you again, Teacher Sun.
Thank you for your wonderful interpretation
Let us have a better understanding of the classic Journey to the West
New understanding
At the same time, I also gained a lot of Mid-Autumn Festival gifts.
knowledge of traditional culture
Thank you for reading with me today
Journey to the West and Mid-Autumn Festival
Let's meet again at the same time tomorrow
