The Monkey King's great sage's change technique can be described as omnipotent, and seventy-two changes cannot be hidden. In the masterpiece Journey to the West, change is not only a spell, but also a profound wisdom. However, how amazing is the art of change, and what are the differences between the different characters? Today, let's take a look at this bizarre "face-changing" world!
To be honest, to understand the essence of the art of change, we have to start with Sun Wukong's initial learning of this magic skill. When Sun Dasheng sought advice from everywhere for the sake of immortality and immortality, he was taught two methods of change by the Bodhi Patriarch of Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai, seventy-two changes and thirty-six changes. Although Patriarch Bodhi said earnestly that he had to face a thunderstorm every five hundred years, the art of change could only help him survive the first five hundred years at most. But where is Sun Xingzhi willing to honestly learn the thirty-six changes? You have to learn the big number of seventy-two changes, and one mind is to live forever and never die.
From this point, it can be seen that Sun Dasheng's transformation technique was not born to subdue demons and subdue monsters, but out of a pursuit and desire for eternity. So in Journey to the West, the purpose of his change is more to avoid danger and escape, rather than to fight. For example, he turned into a gourd and hid in the tin staff of the sand monk to avoid the catastrophe; Another example is to turn into a fox and deceive the gold and silver lions; Another example is to transform into a big tree and escape from Zhen Yuanzi...... It can be seen that this technique of change is often an expedient measure of Sun Dasheng, and his wisdom is used to protect himself.
Moreover, Sun Dasheng's seventy-two changes are not only numerous, but also strange in form, from grasshoppers to bullheads and horses, from mice to trees. In comparison, the changes of Erlang Zhenjun and the Bull Demon King are dwarfed. Erlang Zhenjun is good at changing animals and likes to occupy a dominant position in the food chain, but the speed is too fast and easy to show the museum; Minotaurs are accustomed to becoming behemoths and swallowing mountains and rivers, but they lack the essence of flexibility.
Looking at other characters, although Guanyin Bodhisattva has hundreds of millions of incarnations that change at will, the change techniques are often straightforward and rude; The thirty-six changes of Zhu Bajie are often full of holes and snakes because of the incomplete body shape and limbs; The change techniques of Tang Seng and Sha Seng are just a cover to cover people's eyes.
From here, it can be seen that the essence of the art of change is not in the number of forms that are conjured, let alone in the exaggeration of change, but in a kind of wit, flexibility, and the pursuit of transcendence from life and death, and eternity. Perhaps it is this obsession with immortality and immortality that gives Sun Dasheng's transformation technique a flexible vitality, allowing him to be improvisable and omnipotent in difficult situations.
Of course, Sun Dasheng's transformation technique was not perfect. For example, many times he can only change his face, and his figure is still exposed; Another example is that when the body is sealed, there is nothing to be done about the art of change; In addition, change also requires certain occasions and conditions, and it is not possible everywhere. But in general, Sun Dasheng's use of the art of change has reached the point of perfection, and he can be said to be the "ancestor" level of the change world.
To sum up, the mystery of the art of change lies not in the number of forms that are conjured, but in the spirit of exploration that never stops and has the courage to explore. Just like Sun Dasheng's dedication to immortality, it made him change into a wonderful story of a thousand forms. This kind of wisdom and wisdom is a microcosm of life. Only with an inexhaustible thirst for knowledge and creativity in our hearts can we make the art of change constantly rejuvenate. In this era of rapid change, each of us should pursue the change and eternity of life, so as to keep pace with the times and never stop. #头条首发大赛#
