The term "Heavenly Dragons and Eight Parts" comes from Buddhist scriptures. Many Mahayana Buddhist scriptures describe that when the Buddha preached to Bodhisattvas, monks, etc., there were often eight deities, dragons, and eight tribes involved in listening to the Dharma. For example, "Lotus Sutra - Devadatta" says: "Eight heavenly dragons, human beings and non-human beings, all saw the dragon girl becoming a Buddha from afar." "Non-humans" include eight kinds of Shinto monsters. Because they are headed by "Heaven" and "Dragon", they are called "Dragon and Eight Parts".
"Dragon and the Eight Parts" comes from the Buddhist scriptures and means "all living beings in the world". It symbolizes all living beings in the vast world, behind which lies the boundlessness and transcendence of Buddhism. The main theme of the book is "No one is unjust, and everyone is guilty". The style of the work is magnificent and tragic. It is an epic masterpiece that fully describes human nature and is rich in tragedy.
"The Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon refers to the gods, dragons, Asuras, Gandharvas, Mohurakas, Kinnara, Garuda and Yaksha. In Jin Yong's novel "The Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon" Each refers to one or a type of person, which is a symbol. It is also said that "the eight divisions of heaven and dragons" mean "all living beings in the world", which means that they symbolize the vast number of living beings in the world, and behind them are the boundless and transcendent themes of Buddhism. No one is unjust, and all sentient beings are guilty."
"The Eight Tribes of the Dragon God" are also called the "Eight Tribes of the Dragon God" and the "Eight Tribes of the Dragon God". These terms come from Buddhist scriptures. Each of the eight Shinto spirits has unique personalities and supernatural powers. Although they are living beings outside the human world, they also have earthly joys and sorrows. This novel only borrows this Buddhist term to symbolize some of the representatives of the world. They are Xiao Feng. The representative of the dragons is Duan Yu. Yaksha often appears in collective names, such as "Eight Yaksha Generals" and "Sixteen Great Yaksha Generals". Gandharva is A'Zhu. "Shi Tian" The two women Xiao Feng has the closest relationship with are A'Zhu and A'Zi. Asura is Murong Fu. Jin Luo Na is good at singing and dancing, and is also one of the gods of music of Emperor Shi. It is related to the Gandharva in front of him. It is easy to judge that Jinluana is Azi and Mohukara is Xuzhu, because Xuzhu was originally an ordinary Shaolin monk, a "belly type", but because of being "deaf and ignorant", he became blessed, reborn, and practiced compassion. Hui finally redeemed himself (originally the son of Xuanci and Ye Erniang) and became the python god who was both the master of Lingjiu Palace and the consort of Xixia - that is, the "Earth Dragon" corresponding to the "Tianlong" Duan Yu. /p>
"The Eight Parts of the Dragon" examines and describes life and society from a philosophical perspective. The author uses this title as a symbol of the various characters in the world.
" The characters in "Dragon and the Eight Parts" are bizarre, and the rationality of the plot gives way to artistic conception and meaning. They are all extraordinary. There are emperors and ministers, wealthy people, immortal warlocks, handsome young people, and gods. A beautiful woman with incredible martial arts, conspiracy, revenge, frame-up, and misunderstanding? In the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon, humans and non-humans listen to the Dharma together, from the South China Sea to the North, from Suzhou to the Tianshan Mountains. Sure enough, there is Kun in the North Ming Dynasty. , transformed into a bird and spread across the world.
Such a majestic and extraordinary being, but the ending is that Murong Fu went crazy and indulged in the fantasy of the emperor in the cemetery, and a group of children laughed and pretended to be subjects in exchange for sugar. Eat. An incomprehensible fable: beauty turns into bones, talents, achievements, ambitions, love and hate are revealed like lightning, and dreams disappear. Under this fable, the excitement of the previous five volumes all ends up in a phantom, which is pitiful and pitiful. The strange fate may not subvert heroism, but at least it contains profound sadness and doubts. It is this sadness and doubts that make heroes heroes.
