In fact, Ina's story of making trouble in the sea is an exotic product. The prototype of Nezha is asura Asura in Indian mythology, which is the best embodiment of three heads and six arms, controlling thunder and fire, and lotus incarnation. But in this story, it is completely China. In India, dragons are mostly poisonous dragons, which disturb people's hearts and hinder practice. Later, it evolved into the image of vulgar thoughts and evil thoughts in Buddhism. When Xu created The Romance of Gods, he probably designed such a plot to show Nezha's rebellious spirit.
Another meaning of dragon in the west is demon, which generally has four legs and a pair of big wings like bats. Some have only two hind legs and a few have no wings. They often kill travelers and collect treasures in cold blood. For example, the red dragon is a very greedy and snobbish dragon. When a paladin kills a dragon, you can often find countless treasures and magical items in its cave. Some dragons usually avoid humans. Dragons in Central Europe, Southern Europe and Western Asia are generally bulls. Latin America worships feathered snakes that resemble dragons.
The dragon in the east is a human god and a god of precipitation, which brings good weather to people. Of course, when people construct myths, they will inevitably bring the shadow of the real world. Therefore, there are corrupt officials in the dragon god, who need rich tributes, a lot of money, and even boys and girls pray for rain. . Such a dragon can be beheaded and should be beheaded!
Therefore, the trouble in the sea is the embodiment of the spirit of rebellion and justice, and has nothing to do with totem theory.
