Li Shimin is a mortal. Why didn't he bow down when he saw Guanyin? Who was his previous life?

Li Shimin's last life was Emperor China of the Arctic. Does he belong to it? Four emperors? One of them is second only to the Jade Emperor and far above Guanyin Bodhisattva. Even if Li Shimin is the reincarnation of Emperor Wei Zi, the Ten Hall Avalokitesvara and Yamaraja still need to pay tribute to him.

In Journey to the West (episode 12), after Guanyin revealed her true identity, everyone fell to their knees with excitement, except Li Shimin, who stood upright to meet the bodhisattva. It stands to reason that mortals should bow down when they see immortals to show piety and conform to etiquette rules. But Li Shimin is not an ordinary person, he is the statue of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the son of heaven and so on? Zhong Tian Wei Zi Bei Ji Huang? The reincarnation of the body, unless it is the jade emperor himself, otherwise no one is qualified to make him bow down.

Wei Zi is an important figure who helps the Jade Emperor to take charge of the Three Realms. In heaven, he is mainly responsible for managing the stars and governing Du Feng. There are countless immortals under his command, among which the four saints in the North Pole are the most powerful. Tian Pengyuan Shuai and Zhenwu Emperor in the Four Saints are well-known characters.

In the Biography of Youlong, the ability and authority of Zhenwu Emperor were briefly summarized: Seo Woo, the emperor of the Arctic in China, ruled all the stars, all the laws in China and Du Feng, and was also the master of the stars. Generally speaking, Emperor Wei Zi is a senior figure in the sky. He has influenced the movement of stars, the laws of all things, the rise and fall of the world and the rise and fall of immortals. ......

The status and influence of Guanyin Bodhisattva is not as good as that of Emperor China. Speaking of Emperor Wendi, the Bodhisattva only obediently salutes. If Li Shimin kneels to Guanyin Bodhisattva, it will be bad, and Guanyin will not dare to be kneeled by him.

In fact, regardless of the Journey to the West, in feudal China, monarchical power was higher than theocracy. In Buddhism, the name of Guanyin coincides with that of Li Shimin? The world? Word, Li Shimin in order to maintain his reputation, directly to the bodhisattva. Is a mere bodhisattva worthy of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty? Don't! He doesn't deserve it, so to avoid it, Guanyin Bodhisattva? Castrated as? Guanyin bodhisattva? Face this? Blasphemy No one dared to criticize the move, but everyone acquiesced in the new name. Think about it, I can change your name, and you still want me to bow to you? Dream!

Therefore, whether in real history or in fairy tales, Li Shimin's position is higher than that of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and there is no need to bow down to Guanyin Bodhisattva.
