Shituoling is a very exciting story in "Journey to the West". The Tathagata receiving Dapeng section is even more interesting. Dapeng is not only powerful in mana, but also related to the Tathagata. In the sequel, this clip was shot very well.
In the Zhang Jizhong version, this clip looks a bit exaggerated, because the dialogue between Dapeng and Tathagata in the play is very arrogant. The actor of Tathagata in this drama is Wang Huichun. He has appeared in many classic TV series. In "Yongzheng Dynasty", he played the eighth master.
Faced with the rescuers invited by Brother Monkey, Dapeng was not afraid, and asked the lion and the white elephant to attack together and defeat the Tathagata. Although the text of this line
is different from the original, the meaning is the same.
The following original text also mentions making the spear and knife fall to the Tathagata and seize his thunder-tone treasure.
Then the white elephant and the lion were surrendered one after another, leaving only Dapeng himself. The subsequent dialogue between
made people feel that Tathagata and Dapeng are really relatives.
Tathagata let Dapeng go back with him, it will be a positive result. Then Dapeng said the reason he did not want to go back, his tone was really arrogant.
The following Tathagata answer is even more strange, not only did not punish Dapeng, but said that whoever does meritorious deeds, first sacrifice your mouth.
Since the Tathagata said so, Dapeng was helpless, but talking to Monkey King was still very arrogant. The dialogue between
and the original text are also roughly the same. Dapeng is worthy of being a relative of the Tathagata, and his treatment is completely different from other monsters.
Zhang Jizhong’s version of "Journey to the West" does have a lot of adaptations to certain plots, such as the plots of the White Bone Spirit and the Three Rhino Spirits. But on the whole it is relatively close to the original work. Many details are also filmed according to the original work, and a part of "Journey to the West" wants to be satirical.
