What are Sun Wukong's seventy-two transformations? What can they change? You must all know that Sun Wukong's unique skill "seventy-two transformations" is very powerful. I think that an image like Sun Wukong is not only a magical power that can leap eight thousand miles, but also can jump seventy thousand miles.

Second change.

So, what exactly are the "Seventy-two Changes"?

There are many theories here: Among them, the saying that "Seventy-two Changes" is the highest state of the changes of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements is the most widely circulated.

"Seventy-two" means "many" and "infinite". It does not mean that "seventy-two changes" means seventy-two changes. One more or one less will not work.

The real meaning of "seventy-two changes" is "many changes" or "endless changes".

Although the book Journey to the West does not specify what the "seventy-two transformations" are, the nature of "transformation" can be seen from the author's description of Sun Wukong's magic: 1. It can change oneself or other things.

Change.

2. It can change into humans, animals, plants or even inanimate things.

3. It can change into a man or a woman; it can change into an old person or a young person.

4. It can be made longer or shorter; it can be made bigger or smaller.

5. Variable None.

With the above five transformation properties, there is nothing in the world that Sun Wukong cannot transform!

There are three people in "Journey to the West" who can change in seventy-two ways: Yang Jian, the Erlang God, Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, and the Bull Demon King.

Although they all undergo seventy-two changes, their cultivation levels are different.

Erlang Shen Yang Jianhuang is a relative, no one dares to embarrass him, no one dares to look at him with a demon mirror, there is no evidence to prove his skill under the demon mirror, but both Sun Wukong and the Bull Demon King have struggled under the demon mirror: Sun Wukong was shined by the demon mirror, but he can still

"Fighting the Seven Sages", the ability to move is not affected; the Bull Demon King is caught in the demon mirror and "cannot move, unable to escape".

Chapter 7 of "Journey to the West": "Buddha said: 'Except for the method of immortality and transformation, what else can you do to conquer the heavenly palace?' The Great Sage said: 'I have many means: I have seventy-two transformations.

How can he not be able to reach the throne of heaven if he is immortal and can ride on the clouds and fly a hundred and eighty thousand miles? '" According to Sun Wukong's seventy-two transformations, they should be imitated from Nuwa's seventy transformations.

"Huainanzi·Shuo Lin Xun" says: "The Yellow Emperor gave birth to yin and yang, the parallel hair gave birth to ears and eyes, and the mulberry forest gave birth to arms and hands. This is why Nuwa has seventy transformations." Gao Yuan noted: "The Yellow Emperor, the ancient god of heaven, was the first to create man.

At this time, yin and yang are transformed;... Shang Pian and Mulberry Forest are all gods."

"Hua" means transformation into education and transformation into life.

Guo Pu's annotation of "The Intestine of Women's Disaster" in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness Western Classic" says: "Nuwa, an ancient goddess and emperor, has a human face and a snake body, and can change seventy times in one day." Naijing uses "change" to explain "change"

".

Although his statement is wrong, it has an enlightening effect on Sun Wukong's theory of seventy-two transformations.

There is also a legend that the Erlang God Yang Jian also had seventy-two transformations, and his nephew Agarwood had seventy-three transformations (see Du Yingtao's "Collection of Dong Yong's Agarwood: Newly Engraved Complete Biography of the Lotus Lamp to Save His Mother"). In fact, these are "female

The evolution of "Wa's Seventy Changes".
