Soul crossing five sons (why five sons are obsessed with eating people)

It's your fault, but it's delicious. It's delicious ... my Chinese food is on the plate and my meat is on the plate.

Five children

In the story of ghosts and gods told in The Ferry of the Soul, it is either the devil's infatuation or human regret, but in the episode of Five Childs in the first season, there is no mention of finding marriage, but a story about fierce beasts in ancient times. Five sons, the fifth of nine sons born in Longsheng, are greedy.

In the play, Wu Gongzi opened a restaurant called the fifth floor. Although it is a restaurant, the situation in this episode is still terrible. The female guest is greedy and eats food, but she doesn't know that this food is her own. Just as Holly strayed into the fifth floor, Wu Gongzi tried to eat Holly, but he was rescued by Wang.

As the fifth son of the dragon, Wu Gongzi was also a monster in ancient times. Li had to kneel on one knee when he saw him. It is not difficult to see that Zhao Li didn't want to provoke him at all, just to save Holly, and Wu Gongzi finally just ran away. But it can be seen from the rhetoric of the five sons that gluttony has been eating people. In modern society, there are too many toxins in the human body to eat the soul. The strength here satirizes food safety issues.

In the later plot, Zhou Xiaohui took Xiaowan to eat kebabs. The boss is Wu Gongzi, which is also the foreshadowing for the previous plot. After the last escape, Wu Gongzi kept eating people.

So, why are gluttons so obsessed with eating people? We have to start with the origin of gluttony. The earliest books to record gluttony are the classic traditional mystery novels Shan Hai Jing and Shen Yi Jing.

In The Two Classics of Shan Hai Jing Bates, the description of gluttony is as follows: There is a lot of jade on the mountain of Wu Gou and a lot of copper under the mountain. There is a wild animal that looks like a sheep's body and a human face. Its eyes are under its arm and its teeth are claws. It sounds like a baby and is called cannibalism.

This is gluttony.

"Classic of Western Miracles" records: gluttony, animal name, body like an ox, eyes under the armpit, cannibalism.

Although the descriptions of gluttony in the two fairy tales are somewhat different in appearance, they both have a cannibalism feature, so in the play, Wu Gongzi will continue to eat people, just like another ancient monster "Yi", and continue to devour people's secrets. This ancient monster has profound divine power, including fierce beasts and beasts, and gluttony is one of the four fierce beasts. It is impossible to give it up.

Of course, this is just a fairy tale. In reality, gluttony is only a mythical animal image, but the "two-legged sheep" mentioned by Wu Gong Zikou actually happened in history.

This stems from the chaos in China during the May 4th Movement, when several ethnic minorities united against the Han nationality, which was the so-called "Yongjia Rebellion". Due to geographical environment and cultural reasons, Jie, Xianbei, Xiongnu and other ethnic groups still retain their primitive wildness, that is, they will eat people. When these people went south, they not only robbed the rich and helped the poor, but also plundered a large number of Han people, and as military food, Jie people turned them into "two-legged sheep."

In The Ferry of the Soul, every story has a profound meaning. The story satirizes the insatiable man who borrowed five sons. Desire is like a ravine, which can never be filled, and endless greed will drag them into the abyss.
