Recently, a dark horse was killed in the summer file, Nezha. The ugly and lovely Nezha looks weird in smoky makeup, but there are countless circles.

By 20:00 on August 3rd, 20 19, the box office of this film has exceeded 3.6 billion, breaking a series of box office records of domestic animated films.

Nezha's image is not only weird, but also his name is unique enough. Think about it if you don't believe me. Haven't you seen anyone with "where" or "Yi" in their names?

You must say it! Nezha's two brothers wear the word "white", one is golden and the other is wooden.

If you want to sort by this, Nezha should be called "Pen", right? After all, "Jin Mu fire, water and soil" is more fluent!

If Li Jing had worked harder, he would have added a fourth and fifth brother to Nezha, whose names were ready-made-fire and earth. (Laughter)

Obviously, that's not how Nezha got his name, so the question is:

Why is Nezha called "Nezha"?

In fact, Nezha's original image comes from Buddhism, and his name comes from the transliteration of Sanskrit Nalakubara or Nalakubara.

At least seven full names:

It's not a schoolbag, I just want you to see how difficult these names are to pronounce! ! !

It was long and awkward, and the ancients were annoyed, so they just took the first two syllables of Sanskrit, called Ina or Ina.

Of these two abbreviations, the one is simpler, so it is the most popular.

In the Chinese translation of Buddhist scriptures, there is only Ina, not Nezha. The latter writing is only used in novels and operas in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The most representative works are The Condor Heroes and The Journey to the West.

These two books are probably unknown in China, and have since become Nezha.

As for why the word "coffee" was added, I guess I just wanted to use "coffee" to mark it as a foreign word.

Or do you just want those two words to be unified and look neat? I'm guessing, don't believe it! )

In Buddhist scriptures, Nezha was originally the third son of King Vishamun, who was the most famous umbrella king among the four northern kings. Both father and son are protectors of Buddhism.

After the localization of Buddhism, many Buddhist gods and monsters followed suit. During this evolution, Nezha's father was no longer a well-known king, but became Li Jing.

But the "Three Princes of Nezha" has long been a habit. In order to match this name, Li Jing must also have a "big prince" and a "second prince", so Jin Bai and Bai Mu came into being. Coupled with Li's wife and family, the family finally reunited.

Since then, Nezha has completely become a Taoist immortal except for his name, and has won many titles, such as Marshal Zhongtan, the Great God of Santan Haihui, and Tian Tong Taishi.
