The cat travels westward to tell fortune.

Yuan Shoucheng, a fortune teller in The Journey to the West, what is his real identity?

It was Yuan Shoucheng who caused Tang Priest's pilgrimage to the West. Because of his accurate fortune-telling, all fishermen can get a full harvest, which angered the reasonable Jinghe Dragon King to find fault. King Jinghe and Yuan Shoucheng bet on the next day's rain. In the end, King Jinghe was beheaded for fighting for breath. Before King Jinghe was beheaded, he quickly turned to Yuan Shoucheng for help. He was asked to ask Li Shimin for help, which brought trouble to the underground building in Li Shimin. Finally, Xuanzang became a monk and turned over, which led to the follow-up story of Buddhist scriptures.

Yuan Shoucheng was the first person who triggered Tang Xuanzang's voyage to the West. So what's his identity?

It turns out that he is the uncle of Mr. Yuan Tiangang, the Qin supervisor. Yuan Tiangang believes that everyone will know something about it, because the famous tuibei was created by this person and Li.

I guess this Yuan Shoucheng may not be a Taoist, but he may be the Jade Emperor or the Tathagata. Because the two people who benefited the most from this journey to the West were the Jade Emperor and the Tathagata. In order to strengthen their position and influence, after all, Taoism was dominant in Middle-earth at that time, and temples were repaired on a large scale after Li Shimin came to power (of course, it may also be because of the political needs at that time, the society needed stability, and Buddhism only guided and calmed people's hearts). However, due to the jade emperor's weak control over various forces in heaven, it can be seen from Erlang God's listening to the announcement that the jade emperor has insufficient control over heaven.

It can be seen that the interests behind this journey to the west are really complicated, and everyone has their own ulterior motives and small abacus in their hearts. Buddha wants to preach dharma, heaven wants power, strange wants to live forever, and four people want to become Buddhas. Everyone has his own goals and what he thinks is important. As everyone knows, all this may be arranged. The Jade Emperor Tathagata thinks he is a chess player, and Tang Priest and Li Shimin are both chess pieces. I didn't know you won the first place in this chess game, and you are also a son in this chess game. Have you been arranged to play chess again?
