Nezha's magic weapon has a "hydrangea". What's the matter? How many magic weapons does Nezha have? Interested readers can follow me to have a look.

When it comes to weapons and magic weapons possessed by Nezha, many people can definitely name many things, such as fire-pointed guns, dry kunquan, mixed Tencel and so on. Especially in the novel "Romance of Gods", it is simply a treasure house of mobile weapons. However, you know that in some ancient prose, there were not so many weapons in Nezha at first, only two, and even one of them was hydrangea. This is unexpected, isn't it? How does hydrangea become a magic weapon?

Nezha is a very lovely young hero in the divine world. He is a household name in China, which should benefit from the interpretation, dissemination and publicity of novels such as Romance of the Gods and The Journey to the West.

Look at Nezha in the New Year pictures: a handsome baby is blushing as white, with two "scratches" on his head (there is a poem in The Journey to the West that says "the total horn only covers the chimney", and "the total horn" refers to this forked bun), holding a sharp gun in his hand, stepping on hot wheels with his foot, wearing a dry ring on his arm, and winding a Tencel around his waist, revealing a lump of gold bricks in his arms.

However, Nezha's clothes were arranged by novelists. In early legends, Nezha didn't have so many magical weapons, only a gun and a "hydrangea".

In the novel A Journey to the South in the Ming Dynasty, Nezha was ordered by the Jade Emperor to suppress the rebellious King Huaguang. According to this book, Nezha is "the son of King Li Jing of Pisha Palace ... with incredible power and infinite power". One of his magic weapons is hydrangea. "There are sixteen leaders in the hydrangea, leading five thousand soldiers to help in the cold. They are invincible."

After arriving at the front, Nezha showed off several personal treasures. He "wore red flowers, gold and purple circles, embroidered armour with eight treasures, green soap boots, hydrangea with flowers on his left, nine bronze whips on his right, a pike in his hand and a white horse with red mane". When he started to fight against Huaguang, he first "sprinkled flowers and hydrangeas" and "sprinkled red flowers, gold and purple circles". Huaguang was not afraid, but "threw out the golden bricks" and offered sacrifices to "hot wheels"-anyone who has read Travels to the South knows that the triangular golden bricks and hot wheels were originally the magic weapon of Huaguang.

Nezha only played against uh guano this time, and it was a draw. Later, he sent his men to fight against Huaguang many times, but they couldn't win. Finally, we had to turn the storm into a soft trick and send someone to deceive the Huaguang Triangle-we didn't win each other and seized each other's "advanced weapons", which was also a "shame-hiding face".

This gold brick was given to the Jade Emperor and obtained as a "royal treasure house", but it didn't seem to fall into the hands of Nezha. As for hot wheels of Huaguang, according to the description in the book, he was also taken away by Nezha's subordinates with a magic weapon. Whether he was trampled by Nezha from now on is never stated in the book.

The friend next to me couldn't help being angry for a long time: Nezha and Hua Guang are mythical figures, and this magic weapon and that magic weapon are purely "novelist's words". Where are there really gold bricks, silver guns and hot wheels? You are still here to study the inheritance relationship of "baby" and track their ins and outs. Isn't that stupid?

Not exactly. What I am discussing here is the evolution track of mythical characters (that is, literary characters) from simple to complex and gradually full. For example, where did the BRICS and hot wheels in Nezha come from? Obviously, this is the treasure of the novelist "Eye-catching" Huaguang, and his inspiration comes from "equipping" Nezha, right?

BRICS weapons are really good-people fight with bricks, but immortals can't do such vulgar things. If they want to fight with bricks, they have to fight with bricks! BRIC countries are heavy and powerful; On the other hand, who doesn't love gold? With this golden brick that clears away obstacles, it must be invincible and invincible, whether on earth or in the divine world! You see, there is still some irony here.

Another example is hot wheels, who stepped on his feet and breathed fire under the wind. This was a bold imagination of transportation in the animal-drawn era-but no one envies it today. Look at the street, young people are riding electric unicycles, and society has begun to enter an immortal era.

A golden brick, a hot wheels, is many times worse than the original treasure of Nezha-the "flower hydrangea" with vague image and suspicious effect! Therefore, the author of The Romance of Gods resolutely abandoned hydrangea and creatively replaced Nezha with new equipment. At the same time, he kept the pike (fire-pointed gun) and the golden purple circle (renamed Gankun circle), and added a mixed silk, which made the little hero's dashing posture, thus shaping it!

However, the author of The Journey to the West refused to give up this hydrangea easily. When Nezha turned into Superman and confronted Wukong, it was written in the book that his six arms were "maliciously holding six kinds of weapons, that is, cutting the demon sword, cutting the demon knife, tying the demon rope, lowering the demon pestle, hydrangea, steam wheel, ya ya fork and hitting her face"-in a blur, we still recognized hydrangea, which was the most primitive appearance of Nezha.

Wu Cheng'en is a bit "nostalgic". He refused to give up the old tradition completely when he was innovating. Is the "Romance of the Gods", when boldly "transforming" the image of Nezha, didn't it also retain the old content? -With the traditional thick soil, new seedlings can grow stronger. This is the truth of novel creation, as well as cultural construction and even social reform. Isn't that the principle?
