Image meaning

The image of Zhu Bajie has the significance of the times. In The Journey to the West, Zhu Bajie was not used to or even disliked the austere life of long-term travel. He can do nothing to protect monks from learning Buddhist scriptures. In case of disaster on the way to the west, he is always the first to retreat, selling luggage and clamoring to go back to Gao Laozhuang to be a son-in-law and farm for a living. This feeling of returning to the land, caring for home and longing for a settled life is also a typical farmer's consciousness and psychology attached to the land for a long time.

It can be said that Pig Bajie is a typical embodiment of working people from rural areas. He has a stubborn and conservative psychology of guarding the formation of the land, which is in opposition to God, Taoism and Buddhism, and shows the life aspirations of ordinary working people. Pig Bajie is greedy for money, lustful and selfish, which also shows the precipitation of lust and good goods in Ming Dynasty, reflecting the consciousness characteristics of small producers and ordinary citizens at that time, and has the ideological characteristics of that era.
