In the Journey to the West, What do these two names mean?
According to the introduction in the original work, Ben Bo Er Ba and Ba Bo Er Ben are two fish essences, Ben Bo Er Ba is catfish hanging, and Ba Bo Er Ben is a black fish essence. When many people watch Journey to the West, they can't tell which is The Running Boy and which is the Bado Er Ben, listening to the Hydra Order to poison the White Dragon Horse, this Rush Erba. The one who appeared at the top of the tower later was Babel Ben.
The story of this episode takes place in the sacrificial kingdom, but it also mentions a honkaku country. Ben Bao originally had a name called Ben Jiao, the meaning of Ben Jiao is the foundation, running and harmonious Ben Bao, so the word Ben Bo is the meaning of the foundation.
Bon religion is a primitive religion in the Tufan kingdom, and there is a branch called Sibba ben religion, Baben harmonic Baben. Therefore, the meaning of these two names is roughly from the fish monster of the bowl country.
The image of these two fish is particularly funny, looking at the appearance of the, is there any urge to slap it? Why were they created into this image? In Bon buddhism, the world is divided into heaven, earth, and earth. Worship the gods and immortals, and lay down the ghosts. Ben Bo Er Ba and Ba Bo Er Ben belong to the category of ghosts. It can also be reflected in the play, they are subordinate to the Hydra, they want to poison the monk, but also poison the white dragon horse, and specialize in bad things.
They were running errands for the Hydra, and the Dragon King didn't want to see them, not even the shrimp soldier crab general.
The reason for this is related to their background, and it can also be seen from the meaning of the name that these are two fish spirits from this country, and for the members of the Western Water Tribe, they are foreigners.
