In "Journey to the West", the funniest part is the marriage in the sky. What is a marriage in the sky?

A wedding in the sky is like throwing a hydrangea in ancient times. It means that one does not take the initiative to choose a spouse, and the decision on marriage is entirely left to God's will. This method of choosing a spouse often appears in ancient novels and operas. There is no mention in official history of anyone getting married in this way. It's a coincidence that before Zhu Bajie got married in heaven, Tang Seng's father Chen Guangrui was also hit on the head by his mother Yin Wenjiao's hydrangea and became his son-in-law after winning the first prize. 1. Zhu Bajie’s wedding in the sky in "Journey to the West"

After Zhu Bajie was conquered by Wukong in Gao Laozhuang, he followed Tang Monk on his journey to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures. The Bodhisattva was afraid that his lust would arise again, so the three Bodhisattvas, Guanyin, Manjushri and Samantabhadra, together with the old woman from Lishan, planned this calamity for Zhu Bajie. Zhu Bajie, however, has not changed his lust, and deserted again after seeing the beauty of Mrs. Jia of the Wu family, Wu Zhenzhen, Wu Aiai, and Wu Lianlian. I thought I might as well become this door-to-door son-in-law. You don’t have to be as tired as Monk Tang to learn scriptures from the West. Later, due to being unable to make a decision, the plot of marriage in the sky was staged. Not only was he teased by the four gods and Buddhas, he was also teased by Sun Wukong. 2. Details of Zhu Bajie’s Heavenly Marriage

At that time, there were only three masters and disciples of Tang Monk. They stayed at a Wu Mansion for the night, but unexpectedly Master Wu had passed away, leaving behind his wife and three daughters. So Mrs. Jia proposed that the three daughters should be betrothed to the master and the apprentice, but Tang Monk refused. But Zhu Bajie had lustful thoughts in his heart. At ten o'clock in the night, Zhu Bajie secretly approached Mrs. Jia while Tang Monk and Sun Wukong were sleeping, claiming that he was willing to stay and be his son-in-law. The three women were all extremely beautiful, making it difficult for Zhu Bajie to choose. Mrs. Jia then proposed to put a handkerchief on Zhu Bajie's head, and Zhu Bajie would marry any daughter he met. But how could Zhu Bajie catch the beauties transformed by the Bodhisattvas? None of the three daughters were caught, so Zhu Bajie proposed that Mrs. Jia marry him. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jia was not only angry, but also hung him up with a rope net all night. 3. Ancient marriages without collision and choosing a spouse by throwing hydrangeas

For ancient people, getting married and getting married was a very important day. It is even more impossible to choose a spouse based on God's will. The ancients considered marriage in the sky and throwing hydrangea balls as child's play. Besides, hydrangea balls were something that ancient women played for fun. Women will not decide their lives based solely on this toy. Not to mention the vulgar wedding in the sky.
