In the myth of Journey to the West, is it really a day in the sky and a year on earth?

The fourth time in The Journey to the West, the Monkey King left without saying goodbye and returned to Huaguoshan because he was said to be a junior officer by the Imperial Horse Supervisor. According to the original work, the Monkey King returned to Guo Huashan in a short time, only to see four elite soldiers and the demon kings of various caves, who were playing there. When the Monkey King came back, he hosted a banquet in the depths of the cave and said, "Congratulations, your majesty, you have been in the upper world for more than ten years, and you must be very proud to come back."

In the previous article, the author said that the four old monkeys were all Tathagata, and the Tathagata would be the allies of the Jade Emperor, while the four old monkeys were tactful and knew the Monkey King's character like the back of their hands, so they said this sentence and deliberately stayed out to stimulate the Monkey King.

"I've only been more than half a month," the Monkey King said. "Where have I been for more than ten years?"

The monkeys said, "Your Majesty, you don't know the time in the sky. One day in the sky is the next year. Excuse me, your majesty, what is the official residence? "

The Monkey King waved his hand and said, "I don't know, I don't know! Shame on you! Beat people to death! The jade emperor doesn't know how to use people. When he saw me like this, he asked me to be a horse farmer. I used to raise horses with him, but he didn't come in. I didn't know when I first came. I only played in Royal Horse Prison. I asked my roommate today, only to know that it was so humble. I was so angry that I pushed down the mat and walked down without receiving the official title.

Wait, one day in the sky, one year on earth, the author said the same thing when he was a child. Look at the 86th edition of Journey to the West, and there are many mythical TV dramas. But when I grow up, the author thinks that one day in the sky and one year on the ground are incredible, and it should be very unreasonable to be precise.

The first place is unreasonable: in the fairy world, the age of the fairy sister is a secret that cannot be told. Just as two great beauties, the fairy elder sister will report her age even if it is necessary, while the younger sister in real society likes to report her age, the better.

I assume a scene with two sisters, with a difference of 10 years. My sister was taken by a fairy for 30 days, and then she went home. Boy, my sister has become a grandmother. What an incredible thing.

The most important thing is that if this kind of thing is established day after day and year after year, monsters on the ground can practice for a long time, and their mana can be greatly improved to attack heaven. What about the gods in the sky? Time didn't last long, and mana didn't increase much. Moreover, it is not that there is no longevity food on the ground, and human flesh can prolong life. Just can't eat children's meat, eating adult meat will feel very sinister.

The second place is unreasonable: If there is a day in the sky and a year on the earth, then the Monkey King will stay for half a day every time he asks for help from heaven. After all, God has to go through the procedure. The Monkey King first told the Tianmen guards what had happened. Tianmen Taibai Venus told the Jade Emperor what had happened. The Jade Emperor ordered the Monkey King to come in, and the Monkey King came in to tell the Jade Emperor what had happened. The Jade Emperor ordered the Monkey King to find a specific official to subdue the demon. The Monkey King went to a specific official with his will and had to tell others what had happened.

Then, in this way, half an hour passed in heaven, and the time on earth was 360 days ÷24= 15 days in the lunar year. In other words, Tang Priest has been caught by monsters 15 days. The key point is that many monsters really want to eat Tang Priest's meat on their way to learn from the scriptures, such as Hong Haier. On the 42nd trip to the West, the Monkey King invited Guanyin to surrender to Hon Hai. When the Monkey King rushed into the cave to find the Tang Priest, Tang Priest had been stripped naked, which showed that Hong Haier really wanted to eat Tang Priest's meat.

When Guanyin surrendered to Hong Haier, Mu Cha asked Li Tianwang to borrow the highest plow blade. Mu Cha told Li Tianwang that Tang Priest had been caught by Hong Haier. Li Tianwang told Nezha to get a knife and tell Nezha what had happened. Nezha went to get the knife. Maybe when he took the knife, he told Xiaoxian what happened. If it really happens one day in the sky and one year on earth. Isn't that the Tang Priest cooked by Hong Haier a long time ago? So Tathagata can't be over?

The third place was unreasonable: the Monkey King was pinned down by the Tathagata at the foot of Wuxing Mountain, and Tianting was released in prison for one and a half years. Then it took the Monkey King less than half a month, and in fourteen days in heaven, he became a Buddha, and became a servant of the five old Tathagata under the establishment of heaven. Not to mention how bloody the plot is, the key is that the Monkey King is a criminal in heaven. Even if he wants to make contributions by apologizing, it is impossible to make contributions by apologizing in such a short time as a year and a half. Isn't this a slap in the face?

So, so, a day in the sky is a day on earth. The author also has the most direct evidence in the first paragraph of the original narrative, that is, every19600 years, heaven and earth are destroyed once, which is called an era. There are 12 international conferences in one era, namely, 12 conferences of Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai. Every time we meet, it is 10800.

5400 years before the westward journey, there was no heaven and earth on earth, and there was chaos.

In the second 5400, the first international conference, the children's meeting came, and one of the chaotic masses became Pangu. He split the chaos and went to bed.

In the third year of 5400 AD, the sun, moon and stars came into being. This is what immortals often say.

In the fourth year of 5400, the ugly meeting came, and the earth came into being, and gradually became solid. This is what immortals often say about dirt ugliness.

In the fifth year of 5400 AD, five shapes of water, volcanic rocks and soil appeared on the earth, which is not what we know as Jin Mu's five elements.

In the sixth year of 5400 AD, Yin Festival came, the weather sank and the atmosphere rose. When the two contact, plants are produced.

In the seventh year of 5400 AD, the intercourse gas circulated, and there were people and animals. Later, man and beast discovered the science and technology tree of mana, and formed the celestial world and the celestial world in the perennial war and peace.

The narrator didn't say that there is a day in the sky and a year on the earth. This sentence was completely said by four old monkeys older than the Monkey King. It has only appeared twice in the original work, and if there is no narration or evidence to support what the characters say, they are basically said for a specific purpose.

The author thinks that a day in the sky is a day on the earth. The ancient time and the present time calculation method are also different. The earth goes around the sun for about 365 days, 5 hours and 59 minutes, which we call a year. The extra 5 hours and 59 minutes are counted as leap years every four years. This way of commemoration is called Gregorian calendar by China people today, and this Gregorian calendar is sometimes called Gregorian calendar. In ancient times, the solar calendar was a bit complicated, but now it has been abandoned. I won't explain it here Where there is a solar calendar, there is a lunar calendar. The ancients compiled the lunar calendar into 24 solar terms, and every 360 days was a new year. Today, people in China are also called the lunar calendar. In ancient China, there was a Yellow Emperor calendar before the lunar calendar. Today, Taoism is still used again, but it was basically abandoned in the Ming Dynasty.

In the ancient times when Journey to the West came into the world, and in the modern times after the birth of the Monkey King, the author thinks that the memorial methods are also different. The ancient chronology was used by heaven, while the lunar chronology was invented by human beings. That is to say, Heaven says that every year on earth is a day, and in ancient times, it was 360 days after the Monkey King was born. So, this is the meaning of one day in the sky and one year on earth.
