CHAPTER 18

Chinese Emperor Tours the Underworld

In China, it was a period known as the Tang Dynasty (618– 907), during which China had extended its territory beyond the Great Walls and South China Sea. This was also the period during which China opened itself to a vast number of foreigners and accepted their cultures.

During the early Tang Dynasty, the most illustrious period was when Emperor Taizong was on the throne (626 – 649). The entire Chinese Empire was at peace, and people enjoyed unprecedented prosperity.

At the time, there was a wood-cutter and a fisherman who were friends. They would meet every evening when the fisherman came back from the sea and the wood-cutter from the mountain. They enjoyed their drinks and conversations together. One evening, as they were about to part after the daily drinks, the fisherman said, “Well, good night and have a nice day tomorrow, though I know your mountain is not quite as nice a place as my sea.”

The wood-cutter replied, “Why! I think your sea is not as nice as my mountain.”

The fisherman said, “My sea is beautiful, where one can see the sun rise and set on the horizon, and the moon casting its romantic rays; where one can feast on fish and shrimps and octopus; where the scenery is wide open and makes one forget the trivial things of the world.”

The wood-cutter said, “But my mountain is infinitely variable; in the summer’s heat, it provides cool respite; the sun gives life to the trees, and the moonbeams inspire one’s meditative mood; the meats of animals taste better than fish, shrimps or octopus; and the cloud-shrouded mountain tops make one feel other-worldly.”

The two continued arguing about the virtues of their places for another hour. And at the end, the wood-cutter said, “All right, my friend, we just agree to disagree. Good night and take care. I don’t want to experience ‘one less friend’s face amongst the crowd’.

The fisherman said, “What an inauspicious thing you say! But don’t fear, I am fully informed about the weather so there is no danger of being struck by unexpected storms.”

The wood-cutter asked, “How so?”

The fisherman replied, “There is a fortune-teller of great wisdom who can predict the weather precisely, so I consult him every morning before putting out to the sea.” And the two parted.

This conversation was overheard by one of the retainers of the Dragon King of the River Jing. He went and reported it to his master, who decided to teach the fortune-teller a lesson.

The Dragon King went to the fortune-teller’s stall and asked for the forecast for the next day. The fortune-teller gave him 3,348 points of rain at 3:00 p.m. The Dragon King was taken aback. He himself did not know about it. He asked the fortune-teller, “Are you quite sure?”

The fortune-teller said, “Of course.” The Dragon King answered, “I will come and take down your sign if your forecast is wrong.” And he went back to his river palace.

As he arrived, there was an imperial instruction ordering him to provide 3,348 points of rain at 3:00 p.m. the next day. He was in a panic. One of his advisors suggested that he provide 3,340 points at 2:00 p.m., so he would have carried out the instruction but with a slight alteration. He took that advice and provided 3,340 points at 2:00 p.m.

前言/序言

EPILOGUE

“Journey to West” is considered one of China’s greatest masterpieces in its popular literature. It is interesting to see why this book of fantasy gained such stature in Chinese popular culture.

It appeals to young and old because of the fantastic adventures, and because of the personalities of the protagonists: the Master for being upright if somewhat stiff and humorless; the monkey for being imaginative and loyal if rebellious; the pig for his sense of humor and cynicism; and Sandy for his stolid nature but solid loyalty.

But it is also a vivid description of Chinese society where there was no rule of law.

While I was delighted that my children enjoyed it in their childhood and later, it was not without some trepidation that I provide this retelling.

Even if one suspends one’s disbelief, the stories in this book are full of contradictions. As I was reading it for the first time some sixty years ago, I would find the story curiously unsatisfying when the monkey snuck into a demon’s cave, stealthily and unobtrusively. Naturally rooting for him, I would say to myself, “Now you are in the demon’s cave and he is asleep. Take out your magic stick and crush him into a meatball!” When the monkey failed to do so, I found it frustrating.

Also, when the monkey said he could not carry his Master across the river because the Master was flesh and blood, I wondered how demons could carry him so easily to kidnap him.

I must confess that I judged the ethically objectionable behavior of the characters from the perspective of Western values. I was deeply offended by the way laws were so arbitrarily ignored or bent for the convenience of the powerful.

How come the Dragon King had to be beheaded for altering the amount of rainfall, while the underworld minister could get away with altering the length of life for Emperor Taizong?

The punishments meted out for some minor offenses were vastly out of proportion, while in some cases the offenses might have been very serious but were simply forgiven because the offenders were connected to powerful gods.

The society described in the book is the Chinese society of the Ming Dynasty, where corruption and an arbitrary ‘justice’ system made the lives of ordinary Chinese a living hell. In some measure, this arbitrariness and corruption continues today.

Perhaps this vivid description of Ming China is one of the book’s hidden virtues. The reactions of our children were interesting. They enjoyed the stories for their action, and considered the rest as ‘silly and childish’ without any sociological or moralistic wisdom. Perhaps that is the best reaction and the soundest critique of the story, and this book.
