Zhu Bajie just molested a dancing girl. Why was the Jade Emperor’s punishment so severe?
In history, did you know that Zhu Bajie just molested a dancing girl? Why was the Jade Emperor's punishment so severe? Let's talk about it together.
In "Journey to the West", Zhu Bajie is an impressive character. Pigs are relatively grassroots animals. Zhu Bajie's weapons are all farm tools rather than weapons. Zhu Bajie has no ambitions and often thinks about the world. Naturally, he is not the same as him. Related to his experience, he was the Marshal of Tianpeng, controlled 80,000 Tianhe naval forces, held a high position, and was among the group of big shots who had enjoyed blessings in the heaven, so he could not be used to the hardships on the way to learn scriptures like Sun Wukong and Tang Monk. Heaven is the territory of the Jade Emperor, and there were many guests from other places that day. This is like having a banquet at home, and then the doorman below suddenly drinks too much and teases the maid. In this situation, it was obvious that he was just making fun of the guests, and the host was embarrassed. For something like this to happen, it shows that the owner is incompetent in running the family and is truly ridiculous.
I think back when Sun Wukong caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he was only imprisoned in the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years, and he was only in heaven for 500 days. This punishment was not serious, but Zhu Bajie made a mistake. It was much lighter than Sun Wukong, but why was he almost beheaded? At that time, after Zhu Bajie molested Chang'e, the Jade Emperor was very angry and directly said that he wanted to see his head. If Taibai Jinxing hadn't interceded, Zhu Bajie might have died. He was reincarnated as a pig. Many people said that Zhu Bajie deserved what happened to him. Chang'e's status was so high that even she dared to offend her. Isn't this asking for trouble? The consequences of Zhu Bajie's teasing Chang'e were very serious. The Jade Emperor originally wanted to kill Zhu Bajie, but other gods interceded, so he instead punished him with two thousand hammers, and he was demoted to the mortal world and became a pig. Chang'e was just a maid under Taiyin Xingjun, and Zhu Bajie was Marshal Tianpeng. He just molested a maid. Is molesting an ordinary fairy really such a serious crime? Let’s take a look at other related cases.
When the Jade Emperor's order was sent to Tianhe, Zhu Bajie disappeared. Where was he? That's right, Zhu Bajie was teasing Chang'e in the Guanghan Palace. The messenger who sent the order couldn't find Zhu Bajie, so he reported it to the Jade Emperor when he returned. When the Jade Emperor learned about it, he remembered it and waited until the end of Sun Wukong's havoc in heaven. After that, the Jade Emperor held an Antian Conference. Fairy Chang'e was still dancing at the Antian Conference, but after finishing her dance, Fairy Chang'e told the Jade Emperor about Zhu Bajie teasing her. Because he was not teasing Chang'e who was flying to the moon, but one of the maids of the Moon Palace. Later, the Jade Rabbit of the Moon Palace secretly descended to earth, transformed into a princess, and wanted to marry Tang Monk. However, when Sun Wukong was about to kill the Jade Rabbit, the Moon Star Lord took him with him. A group of fairies came over, and among these fairies there was the one Zhu Bajie was teasing. But when Zhu Bajie ran into the air and hugged her, the fairy did not resist. The main reason for this was still Taiyin Xingjun.
It was found out that Tianpeng went to Guanghan Palace to tease Chang'e when Sun Wukong was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace. The Jade Emperor was so angry that his beard was twisted, and he immediately beat Tianpeng hundreds of times. Not wanting to relieve his anger, he brought the canopy down to the mortal world. Zhu Bajie's crime was obviously not as serious as Kuimu Lang, but his punishment was hundreds of times more severe. There was only one reason. Zhu Bajie offended a high-ranking person for teasing Chang'e. Man, this man must be the man Chang'e is waiting for, and there are not many people in the Heavenly Palace who can decide the life or death of Marshal Tianpeng at will, so the man Chang'e is waiting for is one of them. But because of her very special status, among the goddesses in heaven, apart from the Queen Mother, she is the biggest one, Taiyin Star Lord. This caused the Jade Emperor to be so angry after Zhu Bajie molested Taiyin Star Lord's fairy.
After the above general understanding, you know what is going on.
