Tu Sang Huiming: Sadness rose in my heart. These days, for some reason, I keep thinking of the hozen traveling to the west. The monkey was originally a restless master. One moment he was causing trouble in the Dragon Palace, another moment he was in trouble with Yama, and he was still amusing himself in the Flower and Fruit Mountain, trying to become the Monkey King. The Jade Emperor was disturbed, so he quickly gave the title of Bima Wen to the monkey. It is difficult for the Jade Emperor to explain his thoughts clearly. You, a stone monkey with no origin, are much better as a heavenly official than a mountain king. The two long wings on the official hat are indeed more impressive than the pheasant feathers of the Monkey King. The monkey was really happy for a few days, and his appearance was indeed a bit like a horse on patrol. Coupled with the stick in the monkey's hand, he could hit wherever he pointed, and the horses in the circle were indeed much more honest. You said you should just keep working hard. If you keep doing it, you will either be a horse breeding director or a fighting Buddha, and you will get ministerial-level treatment. But this monkey head has always been a thief and likes to look around and sees many things that he should not see and cannot understand: For example, why do all the big peaches in the Peach Garden belong to the Jade Mother? Why doesn't the story about the flirtation between the Jade Mother Empress and the ghost guy from the lower world not comply with the laws of the Celestial Dynasty? After thinking about it, the monkey head suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart: After all, he was personally promoted by the Jade Emperor, and he must uphold the rules of the Celestial Dynasty no matter what. If you don’t say anything after seeing it, you will feel sorry for the folks in Huaguoshan. In fashionable terms, you should have party spirit and the conscience of the people. So he got excited, smashed the altars and jars in the Heavenly Palace, and went to Java to complain. But Hericium, Hericium, the rules of the Celestial Dynasty have always told you to behave accordingly. If you don’t understand the story of the Celestial Dynasty, you don’t understand it. Why do you care so much about justice or even reform? Meddling in one's own business will never end well. Meddling in one's own affairs will only lead to a person who has been under Mount Tai for five hundred years and will not be able to recover. Without Monk Tang’s pilgrimage to the West for Buddhist scriptures, there would be no story about Hericium’s journey to the West. But not all Tang Monks happen to pass by, so the old man likes to say that the monkey head is a tragic story.
