In the pilgrimage to the West, Pig Bajie is a very greedy and materialistic character. And this character is the expression of our primitive human character. For example, Pig Bajie stole a cotton vest when no one was around. When he saw the wealth, he was very happy. He wanted to get the gold and silver he got.
Back to the 38th time, the Monkey King tricked Bajie into getting the treasure in order to incite him to go down in the middle of the night to salvage the king's body. Bajie really worked hard to get down to the Crystal Palace of the Dragon King. Back to the 76th time, it was written that when the Monkey King turned into a prostitute and tried to take Pig Bajie's life, Pig Bajie was cheated and took out the 46 cents hidden in his ear. In the 85th time, the king who destroyed France felt guilty for killing too many animals. He wanted to worship the Tang Priest as a teacher, and Pig listened, "What's the gift?" . The ninety-fourth time, it was written that the fairy princess of Tianzhu recruited the Tang priest as a husband, and Pig Bajie presented gold and silver to the king to show his impatience.
But from a dialectical point of view, Bajie wants those possessions because he, as an ordinary worker, thinks they are labor income. Although he is a little greedy, he never takes them by force. You should know that the image of Zhu Bajie was shaped in the late Ming Dynasty. At this time, the commodity economy in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in the south has developed greatly. People's pursuit of wealth is bold and frank. It was precisely because of the easing of social atmosphere, the pursuit of wealth and the desire for money that Pig Bajie, a very greedy ordinary citizen, was born.
He fought bravely, but he was easily shaken. Pig and Pig fought bravely and never gave in to the devil. Although he was captured by monsters many times, he never surrendered. He always curses, yells at monsters and struggles. However, Zhu Bajie wavered when he encountered difficulties and backed out. On the way to learn the scriptures, after encountering a little setback, especially when Tang Priest was caught by a monster, Pig Bajie always clamored to divide his luggage, clamored to break up, and clamored to return to Gao Laozhuang as a son-in-law. Selfish, but can take care of the overall situation. Many times, Pig Bajie always thinks of himself first to avoid being hurt.
For example, the twentieth time, "Brother, you haven't heard of' avoid color as enemy, avoid the wind as an arrow'! We won't lose money by hiding. " Back to 2 1, "got it! I know! You should go! The old pig learned the tortoise method, and when he wants to shrink his head, he will shrink his head. " Simple and honest, straightforward, but coarse and fine. Pig Bajie almost never hides his desires. There is a carefree innocence that gets rid of all bondage. As in 4 1 in the book, Bajie massages and rubs the Monkey King, who is unconscious. In chapter 48, horseshoes are wrapped in straw to prevent them from slipping on the river ice. Back to 3 1 in the book, Pig used his quick wits to urge the Monkey King to leave Huaguoshan to save the Tang Priest, which shows his wisdom.
There is no lack of glitter in the shortcomings, and there are many problems after the advantages, although people always like to associate him with unpleasant words such as "lazy, selfish" and "harming others and benefiting themselves". He has shortcomings in one way or another, but we don't hate him. Indeed, Pig Bajie has done something similar to "shooting himself in the foot". In the plot of "Pig Eight Rings Eat Watermelon", his characteristics are the most prominent.
