Name origin:
1. Zhu Bajie
Zhu Bajie took Xiang as his surname, and was named Zhu Gangxi.
In "Journey to the West", Zhu Ganghe accepted the Bodhisattva's precepts and gave up the five meat and three dislikes. Therefore, Tang Monk named him "Eight Precepts".
Five meats and three disgusting foods are religious precepts and believers are not allowed to eat them. Wuxun, that is, Wuxin, refers to five kinds of pungent vegetables. Including garlic, shallots, leeks and garlic. Three dislikes, Taoism lists geese, dogs, and turtles as three animals that cannot be eaten, and they are listed as dogma. ,
It is believed that "geese have the relationship of husband and wife, dogs have the friendship of masters, and turtles have the loyalty and respect of monarchs and ministers, so they cannot bear to eat." Disgusting here means not being able to bear to eat. However, these five meat and three aversions are a mixture of Buddhism and Taoism, and the "eight precepts" of Buddhism actually refer to something else. ?
The full name of the Eight Precepts is "Eight Precepts", which are eight precepts formulated by Buddhism for male and female monks. This includes not killing, not stealing, not lusting after, not lying, not drinking alcohol, not sleeping, sitting on a gorgeous bed, not dressing up or listening to singing and dancing, and not eating after noon.
