What is the origin of Yuan Shoucheng who killed the Dragon King in The Journey to the West?
There is such a clip in The Journey to the West, in which there is a character named Yuan Shoucheng. Yuan Shoucheng likes to go fishing in many rivers, so the Dragon King of many rivers is not so fond of this Yuan Shoucheng. He knew that Yuan Shoucheng had opened a stall in Chang 'an Street, because he had to make a living after all. The King of Jinghe wanted to get this Yuan Shoucheng, and he came to the place where he set up his stall in Yuan Shoucheng.
He just wants to make a bet with Yuan Shoucheng about when it will rain tomorrow. How much rain? Because he is the King of Jinghe and is responsible for the rain in the sky, he feels that he has taken control of everything. Yuan Shoucheng also told him generously, "When will it rain?"? How much rain does it rain? " If you lose, get out of Chang 'an.
The King of Jinghe thought that Yuan Shoucheng was doomed. When he returned to Jinghe, the Heaven decreed when it would rain. How much does it rain? The King of Jinghe was surprised, and the requirements of heaven were exactly the same as what Yuan Shoucheng said. In order to protect his face, the King of Jinghe deliberately changed the time and points. He angrily ran to the stall in Yuan Shoucheng, saying that Yuan Shoucheng was not allowed to calculate and had to tear down the pawn shop in Yuan Shoucheng. Yuan Shoucheng immediately exposed his identity as the King of Jinghe and told him that he was doomed. The King of Jinghe dared not pretend any more, so he wanted to ask Yuan Shoucheng to help him. In order to get rid of his harassment, Yuan Shoucheng promised him, but he didn't want Wei Zhi to behead the old dragon in his dream.
This person does exist in the history of Yuan Shoucheng, but his bet with the King of Jinghe is definitely not true.
