Chapter 469 Interpretation
At the work site of the Writers Guild Award Judging Committee, the atmosphere was particularly depressing.

As the announcement of the Writers Guild Award approaches, the popularity of "Journey to the West" continues to rise, and more and more people are beginning to pay attention to this news.

However, the wave of concealed operations before the Writers Union Award, coupled with Hao Jiansheng's "arrogant" attitude, made the reconciliation between the two parties almost a luxury.

Since neither Jincheng Bookstore nor the Writers Union Awards officially released the news that "Journey to the West" did not participate in the selection, the outside world is still unclear about the specific status of the awards.

Although "Xianxia" has been excluded from the Writers Union Award, anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Journey to the West" must not be classified as a simple Xianxia.

It cannot even be classified in the category of modern literature.

In this regard, readers who were kept in the dark are clamoring for the cats to win the crown with "Journey to the West".

Those who know the inside story are getting more and more anxious.

Professor Liu walked back and forth a few steps, looked up at Xiao Chen, a student not far away who was holding a copy of "Journey to the West" and was laughing silly, his brows were almost knit together!

He asked the white-haired old man who was leisurely drinking tea and reading a book beside him, "What should we do now?"

The white-haired old man put down the cup in his hand, turned the pages of the book with some saliva on it, and said without raising his head, "Don't worry, a book of Journey to the West doesn't need to be so nervous."

Professor Liu said anxiously: "However, Vice President Dong has been talking about "Journey to the West" recently. Others don't need to care about it. It is very embarrassing for Vice President Dong to stand in line like this."

"Dong Jizhen..."

The white-haired old man paused his hands when he heard the name, and then said: "Since he has left the Writers' Union, it is his freedom to say anything, don't worry about it."

"Can……"

Before Professor Liu could say another word, the white-haired old man turned his gaze away from the book and asked, "Haven't you finished reading the whole book of Catman?"

Professor Liu said with an unnatural expression: "Of course I have finished reading it."

"Since you've read it, you should know that the written expression of the book Meow Stars is indeed ancient and ancient, and it's stunningly brilliant, but the plot is flawed!"

The white-haired old man put down the book in his hand, shook his head, and said with a sneer: "Except for the grandeur at the beginning, he has been walking the map from country to country in the end. This way of writing is difficult even for junior youth fantasy writers Disdain to use it, and the meow star actually used it again, this is a self-confident dizziness!"

Professor Liu said worriedly: "Although the story structure is a little thinner, it is said that the sales volume has surpassed that of "The Deer and Ding Tale."

"It's all supported by cats relying on their fame, so it's nothing to worry about! Besides, when did we consider sales when we engage in serious literature?"

The white-haired old man waved his hand, and said indifferently: "It's a pity, if he is willing to work harder on the plot, we really have to give him this softness. It's just now...hehe."

Professor Liu's anxiety eased a lot, but after thinking for a while, he said: "Many media have already started to question the fact that our grand prix excludes the works of cats in the category. If it continues to be brewed, our trade union award may eventually be It's not very pretty either."

"Since his story is not good, let the public see a really high-quality story."

The white-haired old man raised the booklet in his hand to Professor Liu, and said, "Put out some of the books we have selected!"

Professor Liu glanced at the book, and said, "The ranking hasn't been decided yet, isn't it a bit hasty to release it now? Besides, there is no name of "Journey to the West" on it, and I'm afraid there will be an uproar once it is published."

"Whether there will be "Journey to the West" for this award will be announced sooner or later, and the cover will not be covered for a lifetime. And now it is just that the ranking of the top five has not been determined, and it does not matter if the bibliography is released. It is just a matter of organizing a public selection. Get the public involved."

The white-haired old man was not too worried about the situation of the trade union award, and said: ""Journey to the West" is just a fairy tale after all. Even though the level of writing is superb, the depth of thought and plot structure are still not comparable to serious literature, so there is nothing to worry about. .”

Professor Liu nodded and responded, "Okay..."

After speaking, he turned and walked towards his students.

Naturally, he doesn't need to do this kind of activity arrangement, the disciples can just do their part.

Before Professor Liu could go far, the white-haired old man spoke up behind him: "This public selection activity has stepped up publicity, and let the general public see what is a real high-quality plot and what is a real story. literature!"

"..."

……

A little later, a beautifully crafted banner appeared prominently on the official website of the Writers Guild.

Clicking in is the public selection interface for the highest literary achievement award of this issue of the Writers Guild Awards.

Many readers flooded into it happily, wanting to vote for their favorite works.

But those who saw the specific interface were a little confused.

There are only five solitary works on it, namely "Quan", "Heart Mourning", "Light Pupil", "Small Courtyard Spring and Autumn", and "Love in the Long River".

The most popular "Journey to the West" is not listed here?
What the hell?

Why is it that the quality of "Journey to the West" is not enough to participate in the selection?
Are these judges blind?
Immediately, someone questioned it on the official WeChat account of the Writers Union.

In this regard, the people from the Writers Union responded quite quickly.

There are only two reasons why "Journey to the West" was not included in the selection list.

One is that "Xianxia" novels are not included in the selection category.

The second is that the depth of the plot of "Journey to the West" is lacking!

After these two replies were sent out, the Writers Union did not respond any more.

This really blows the lungs of the "meow fans" who are watching!
The "arrogant" attitude of the Writers Union seems to have poured oil on the fire, and the various book forums on the Internet have become one!
Dong Jizhen naturally also saw the response from the Writers Union, and he even called the jury of the Union Awards to inquire about this matter.

It's just that the phone has long been blown away by crazy readers. At this time, the line is either busy or no one answers.

Eventually even the personal phone of the current president of the Writers Guild was shut off.

Dong Jizhen hung up the phone angrily, and said angrily: "These people are really living and going back!"

He reopened the voting website.

This time the Writers Guild Award was also ingenious, posting the original texts of several books at the back of the webpage.

The specific content is paid for viewing, which can be regarded as a certain degree of anti-theft means.

This was done with the author's consent, of course.

After all, these writers also know that if they are purely sold offline, their books may not have much sales...

This page is directly "borrowed" from the website of the Writers Union, and it has complete functions.

All kinds of book reviews and chapter reviews are available.

The original "borrowing" was sloppy, and I didn't expect the repercussions to be great, so I kept them all.

This time, the readers of "Journey to the West" found an outlet.

There was a lot of abuse in various comments. It cannot be said that the comments have nothing to do with these selected books, but most of them are analogous criticisms, and few of them speak well.

There are also many rebuttals from famous experts!
The content of the rebuttal is mainly the two reasons listed by the Writers Union for not participating in the evaluation.

Among them, the category of "Xianxia" will not be mentioned, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is an excuse.

The focus is on the aspect of "the depth of the plot is lacking".

Temporarily ranked fifth is a realistic novel "Quan" about officialdom!
There is nothing to say about the content, it is all about the intrigue of some officialdom struggles.

In the comment section of this book, it was none other than Hao Jiansheng from the Traditional Literature Department of Jincheng Book Company who fired first.

Hao Jiansheng fought back with his real name, but he can also be stubborn.

I saw Hao Jiansheng wrote in his comments:
"If you dig deeper in Journey to the West and put aside the romantic heroism, you will find that the so-called journey to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures is nothing more than a political struggle directed by Tathagata."

"A Journey to the West is also a big drama about political struggle."

As soon as this argument appeared, it attracted the attention of many "meow fans"!

Hao Jiansheng listed in the following: "Tai Shigong said: the way of heaven is restored, isn't it great! Tan Yanwei can also resolve disputes.

Perhaps everyone did not expect that the first sentence of the preface to "Journey to the West" actually quoted "Historical Records. Funny Biographies".

Small talk can also resolve disputes, which means that if the speech is clever and to the point, it can solve a lot of disputes, which is also the gist of the funny biographies.

What is the purpose of cats quoting Tai Shigong's words?

It is not for the sake of discussion, and "Journey to the West" does not meet the purpose of "can resolve disputes", so now only four words of funny biographies are left to explain his intention.

Funny history, is it just that cats want to tell us the secret about "Journey to the West"?
Since ancient times, history has been inseparable from power!
I secretly thought that what the cats talked about in "Journey to the West" was the debate between Taoism and Buddhism!
At the end of "Journey to the West", he hinted at the purpose of Tathagata's transmission of scriptures.

No.90 nine chapters, the Tathagata said:

At that time, all the monks and monks went down the mountain, and once recited this sutra with him at the home of Elder Zhao in Shewei State, to ensure the safety of the living in his family and the detachment of the dead.

I also said that they are too cheap to teach future generations that they have no money to use them.

It is written very bluntly here that religion is a big business!

The bhikkhu monk just recited the scriptures once, and received three buckets and three liters of wheat grain gold from others!

It's a money grab!
With such a lucrative business, how could Tathagata not want to expand his territory!
It is a pity that Nanzhan Buzhou has been occupied by Taoism, and the market is already a red sea.

In order to open up the market in Nanzhan Buzhou, CEO Tathagata dispatched COO Guanyin Bodhisattva to develop Nanzhan Buzhou and seize the market.

Going to the west to learn scriptures is an internal breach of Nanzhan Buzhou by Buddhists.

From this perspective, you will find that Journey to the West is full of disputes between Buddhism and Taoism.

Of course, if we look a little deeper, we will find that the eastward expansion of Buddhism was actually acquiesced and even encouraged by the Jade Emperor.

Sun Wukong made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, and the Jade Emperor took the initiative to spread the decree to proclaim the Tathagata to subdue the demons.

In fact, Sun Wukong was already surrounded by Wang Lingguan and 36 Yuan Lei generals.

If you carefully study the "Journey to the West" combat power list given by netizens before, you will find that Sun Monkey's combat power is far from invincible, and he is often stumped by monsters.

The Jade Emperor only needs to proclaim the three Qings and four imperials, and any one can take it down.

In the end, he gave up the nearness and sought the farthest, and specially summoned the Tathagata from the west to declare the decree. His intention was really suspicious.

The most direct reason is probably that Taoism was too powerful at that time, which had threatened the stability of the Jade Emperor's throne, and the Jade Emperor was in danger of being ostracized.

Out of helplessness, the Jade Emperor had no choice but to win over Tathagata to counter the Taoist forces.

If we speculate more boldly, we can even say that Sun Wukong's entire life, including his birth, visiting Taoism, causing disasters, learning scriptures, and becoming a Buddha, is a strategy jointly arranged by the Jade Emperor and Tathagata. The fundamental purpose is to fight Taoism and achieve a balance in the heavens.

The Bodhi Patriarch at the beginning of Journey to the West is very likely to be a Buddhist great virtue, or Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, or Tathagata Buddha.

The excitement of political struggle in Journey to the West is no less than that of classic plot novels! "

Hao Jiansheng's argument opened up his mind, and immediately caused a lot of repercussions on the Internet.

Then many netizens jumped out and dug in this direction!

He made a big fuss in Tiangong and rebelled against the bid, was awarded the title of prime minister and Ma Wen bid for security, was suppressed by Wuzhishan, and was framed by treacherous officials.

Sun Wukong protects Tang Seng on his journey to the west in order to find a way...

People who look at these kinds of things are dizzy.

But if you think about it carefully, you can indeed see the content of mapping power struggles everywhere.

Among them, the sentence that sums up the most thoroughly is "All monsters with backgrounds were taken away, and monsters without backgrounds were all killed"!
Only this one clearly told everyone, the essence revealed in this book!

In the patchwork, the participating novel named "Quan" was overturned.

After the comment area fell, the excited netizens obviously didn't intend to stop just like that.

Immediately after the murderous hand was a tragic novel with realistic themes "Sorrow of Heart".

In terms of the ending, although "Journey to the West" is not a comedy, it is roughly satisfactory.

It is really difficult to benchmark tragic novels.

At the beginning, netizens really didn't have much hope for being able to compete with this book.

However, there are a lot of brain holes on the Internet, and there are also people with clear ideas.

This time it was Hao Jiansheng's deputy, Comrade Xiao Zhang, the vice president of the "Meow Meow Book Club"!
He wrote in his comments: "Everyone may wish to read the story of "Journey to the West" upside down.

Tathagata sent four masters and apprentices to bring the Eight Books of Heaven and Xiaobailong to the Eastern Land to preach in the Tang Dynasty. They encountered various monsters along the way, and they beat and found that they all had backgrounds. No matter how evil they did, they would not be punished. .

Ba Jie and Drifting thought it was too dark, one hid in Gao Laozhuang, the other got into Liusha River, only Wu Kong insisted on justice and slew demons and demons all the way to escort the master to the east to preach.

As a result, Tianting couldn't bear Wukong and reached an agreement with Tathagata!
We can guarantee that Tang Sanzang will arrive in Chang'an safely, but you have to deal with the thorny Monkey King!
Tathagata agreed, and under a conspiracy, Bailong was seriously injured and fell into the mountain stream. Wukong was defeated and was crushed under Wuzhi Mountain.

But Tang Sanzang abandoned Monkey King and came to Chang'an alone. After preaching in Chang'an, he was named Yudi, enjoyed the glory and wealth, and died.

After 500 years in this way, Wukong finally escaped from the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, without saying a word, and turned the heaven upside down.

The Heavenly Court was forced to promise Zhu Bajie to be transformed into a human body, named Marshal of the Canopy, and Monk Sha named General of the Rolling Curtain, as long as they can kill Monkey King!

In the end, Wukong, who was disheartened because of the brotherhood, went to find the Bodhi Patriarch to solve his doubts, and then he sealed his cultivation, and threw the Ruyi golden cudgel into the East China Sea to turn it into a Dinghai Shenzhen needle!
Back to Huaguo Mountain, spent an ordinary life with the monkey and grandson, and finally turned into a stone on the top of Huaguo Mountain..."

At the end of the article, Xiao Zhang also wrote a paragraph of emotion:
"From an aesthetic point of view, life is a tragedy, and tragedy is the destruction of beautiful things for others to see.

Looking at "Journey to the West" on the other hand, the evildoers get away with it, the rich and the rich drink and eat, the powerful will not fall, the suffering lives with tears, the poor are skinny, and the weak and incompetent have a difficult future...

The absurd and dark society makes people despair. Even if Sun Dasheng is upright and determined, it is futile to fight alone in the dark and deep social pool.

Abandon all the abilities and talents you have, go back to the mountains and forests, petrification is over.

This is a kind of tragic beauty, and it is also the true embodiment of life! ! ! "

Senseless!

When this interpretation appeared, everyone was dumbfounded!
Huge reversal!
There are some reasons why zz novels can be popular, but tragedies can also be popular, and it is a bit too much to use such an alternative method?

Is this an over-interpretation, or did the cats buried a big hole in advance when they wrote "Journey to the West"?

Take a closer look, it's really smooth to read! ? !

this moment!
Many people suddenly feel that...

I didn't understand "Journey to the West" at all! ! !
