A summary of the story of the Monkey King's trouble with the heavenly palace (why did the Monkey King make trouble with the heavenly palace)

The Journey to the West, a writer in Wu Cheng'en in Ming Dynasty, became the "Four Classical Novels" in China with Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin and Dream of Red Mansions. The Journey to the West is an excellent ancient mythological novel, especially the fragment of "the Monkey King making havoc in heaven" in the novel, which is even more fascinating, and the story is full of ups and downs, which makes readers want to stop.

There are three references in the novel to the Monkey King's havoc in Heaven. That is, the fifth time, "The Great Sage messed up peaches and stole Dan, and opposed the heavenly gods to catch monsters"; The sixth time, "Guanyin went to the meeting and asked why the little sage bowed down to the Great Sage"; The seventh time, "The Great Sage escaped from the Eight Diagrams Furnace, and Wuxing Mountain made up his mind to be an ape".

Outline of the Monkey King's story of "Making a scene in Heaven";

On June 1 day, 578 BC, the Monkey King was born in Olehuaguo Mountain, Dongsheng Shenzhou. It was a fairy stone that was born after absorbing the breath of heaven and earth, and then it passed for a long time.

The Monkey King was worshipped as the "Monkey King" by the monkeys in Huaguoshan because he broke into water curtain cave. The Monkey King went to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to grab the golden hoop, and went to the underworld to force the sale of life and death books. The Dragon King and Yan Jun went to heaven to complain, and the Jade Emperor called the Monkey King to heaven and gave him the title of Bi Marvin. The Monkey King didn't respect his official position, and returned to his home in Huaguoshan, calling himself "the Great Sage of Monkey". The Jade Emperor sent heavenly soldiers to capture the Monkey King, but failed, and let the Monkey King manage the Flat Peach Garden. The Monkey King ate the flat peach, because the queen mother didn't invite him to the flat peach banquet, ruined the flat peach banquet of the queen mother, and ate the elixir of Grand Priest before returning to Huaguoshan. The jade emperor was furious and sent Li Tianwang to lead the heavenly soldiers to arrest him. Guanyin Bodhisattva recommended Jiro Zhenjun to help fight; Grandpa Laojun helped hide weapons, and finally Wukong was captured. Wukong was chopped with a knife and axe, burned by lightning, and even exercised in Dan furnace for 7749 days. He still has nothing to do, working hard in the heavenly palace. Finally, the Jade Emperor ordered the Tathagata Buddha to be invited, and the Monkey King was kept under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years.

So, the question is, why should the Monkey King make a fuss?

therefore ...

The Monkey King led a group of monkeys to practice martial arts in Huaguoshan, but the Monkey King didn't have the weapons he wanted, so he went to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to borrow treasures. The Dragon King promised that if the Monkey King could move the anchor needle of Dragon Palace-Ruyi Golden Hoop, he would give it to him. But when the Monkey King took out the treasure, the Dragon King broke his word and went to the Heavenly Palace to complain. The Jade Emperor adopted the idea that Venus was too white, tricked the Monkey King into the sky, named him Bi Marvin, and actually put him under house arrest. Knowing that he had been cheated, the Monkey King returned to Huaguoshan as king in a rage and erected the banner of "Great Sage in Heaven" to compete with the Heavenly Palace. The Jade Emperor was furious and ordered Li Tianwang to lead the heavenly soldiers to capture the Monkey King. As a result, the Monkey King was defeated and came back. The Jade Emperor also adopted Venus' suggestion, falsely named the Monkey King as the "Great Sage of the Monkey" and put him in charge of the Flat Peach Garden in Tiangong.

Before the Monkey King became an official in heaven, he was also the mountain king of Huaguoshan. Monkeys and grandchildren listen to him and respect him very much. He can be said to live happily in the world. However, after the Monkey King got the best golden cudgel from the East China Sea Dragon King, he was sued by the East China Sea Dragon King to the Jade Emperor in heaven. The Jade Emperor wants to send someone to catch the Monkey King first. However, under the persuasion of Taibai Venus and other immortals, the Jade Emperor sealed a Bima civil servant to the Monkey King in order to calm this matter. The Monkey King thought he was a high official at first, but he was humiliated by other gods in the process of managing horses. Later, he heard that Bi was just a little sesame official in charge of horses, so he flew into a rage.

The Monkey King left heaven and returned to Huaguo Mountain, where he stood upright, made a banner, and became the Monkey King, on an equal footing with the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor heard that the Monkey King wanted to stand on his own feet and fight against heaven. So, immediately called the troops and sent the giant spirit god, Nezha, the four heavenly kings, Tota heavenly kings Excavate, Yang Jian and other gods to soothe the Monkey King. However, the Monkey King's skill is no joke. After a game, they were all defeated by the Monkey King. Except that Yang Jian can play several rounds, others are powerless to resist. The Jade Emperor was helpless, so he had to woo the Monkey King again, and agreed that the Monkey King would be the Great Sage of Qitian, and take care of the Flat Peach Garden in order in heaven.

One day, the Monkey King learned that the Queen Mother held a flat peach banquet and invited all the immortals, but he was not invited. The Monkey King flew into a rage and made a scene in Yaochi, making a mess. He drank wine alone, ate the old gentleman's nine-turn elixir, collected all the wine, food, fruits and vegetables, returned to Huaguoshan, and held a fairy reception with the monkeys. When the Jade Emperor heard the news, he was furious. He called the heavenly generals to capture the Monkey King. During the battle, the Monkey King was ambushed by the old man and unfortunately captured. The old man sent him to the blast furnace, instead of burning to death, it made the Monkey King even more divine. So the Monkey King fought back and made a mess of the Heavenly Palace, scaring the Jade Emperor away.

The reason why the Monkey King made a scene in heaven was obviously that he was dissatisfied that he had not been reused.

When I was invited to heaven for the first time, I was full of hope and thought that I would be reused by the Jade Emperor. As a result, I was only given a Bi Marvin, and the Monkey King thought I was overqualified. Then, make a scene in heaven, violate the heaven, and offend the jade emperor.

Later, he was finally named the Monkey King by the Jade Emperor. However, he found that he was not invited to the Flat Peach Club and was left out in the cold. Only then did I know that I was the "Monkey King", but I was just a small official in charge of the Flat Peach Garden. I had a big fight in the Yaochi, and it broke up in discord.

abstract

The Jade Emperor abandoned the Monkey King, who was highly skilled and capable, instead of appointing people on their merits, which caused the Monkey King to be extremely dissatisfied and make a scene in heaven.
