Will agarwood and Yang Jian be the same person?

To tell the truth, I prefer the story of Yang Jian saving the mountain (after all, I am a big fan).

But objectively speaking, there was no myth that Jiro's mother was killed by the sun in ancient times, but people made it up for the need of performing feature films. Ming Jiajing wrote in Erlang Bao Juan that "there was a man named Yang and the golden boy was in the world", which was related to Yang Erlang, the second son of Yun Huasheng, the "fairy cloud leader" in the bullfighting palace. The Monkey King was ordered to hold Yunhua hostage in Taihang Mountain, and "the Queen Mother of the Bull Palace came to take Jiro to the Heavenly Palace". When Jiro grew up, he learned about it and split the mountain to save his mother. He has "a mountain axe, a double-edged knife and a gold bow with silver bullets".

As we all know, although Yang Jian is more famous than Liu Chenxiang, Lotus Lantern is famous all over the world, and its reputation is far better than Yang Jian's Save the Mother. Not many people even know Yang Jian's feat of saving his mother, but I think there are really too many myths and legends about lotus lanterns. Except for the lotus lantern and the names of people, all the other plots are copied from Yang Jian's Save the Mother, which is my problem in uncle and nephew. Because of the relationship between the two mythical characters, the plot of "Yang Jian Saving Mother" should have happened earlier than "Lotus Lantern".

Based on:

As far as the basis of the book is concerned, there is no doubt that "Saving Mother from Yang Jian" has works such as Jiro Baojuan and The Journey to the West to testify, but the myth of "Lotus Lantern" first appeared in Huguang generation, only spread among the people, and there is no evidence at all, only expressing people's anti-feudal thoughts.

Let's start with the protagonists in the two plays. First of all, Yang Jian is so famous that he has myths everywhere. Liu Chenxiang only appeared in Lotus Lantern. Compared with Yang Jian, it seems much easier for him to save his mother. In addition, without the myth of Lotus Lantern, other novels would remain intact and unaffected. Without Saving Mother Yang Jian, some problems in Journey to the West could not be solved, that is, Yang Jian did not listen to propaganda.

Let's talk about the ending of two myths first. In Lotus Lantern, Liu Chenxiang got the axe, defeated Yang Jian, split Huashan, and the family was reunited. The ending is very happy (except Yang Jian). Many people think that the ending of Saving Mother Yang Jian is very tragic. Yang Jian split Taoshan, but the Jade Emperor sent ten suns to kill his mother in a rage? Then Yang Jian also shot nine suns in a rage.

Also, fairy tales are written by people. Journey to the West, because Wu Cheng'en writes well, others think that everything in Journey to the West is correct. But maybe one day others will write good works, so let's not stick to others' works too much. Think what you want, just want to be the jade emperor ~
