Journey to the West: Is the story of the Monkey King pulling Pig Bajie to make a scene in the incense hall really better than the original?

Personally, I think the plot of the Monkey King pulling pigs in the temple is really better than the original. Because when it comes to this story in the original book, it only says that the magistrate of Fengxian county quarreled with his wife, pushed down the offerings in a rage, got wild dogs to eat, and was punished by the jade emperor. However, when the Monkey King pulled Pig Bajie to make a scene in the incense hall, the whole process was more exciting than before.

The Journey to the West, as one of the four classical novels, has also been remake into several versions of TV series. Especially the 86th edition of The Journey to the West has become a classic in the eyes of the audience. It also left a deep impression on some stories in this film and television drama. Among them, there is a story about the Monkey King pulling Pig and Bajie to make a scene in Xiangtang. Moreover, when watching this video, the audience also compared this story with the original story.

The reason why the Monkey King pulled Pig Bajie to make a scene in Pixiang Store.

The Monkey King, Tang Priest and others passed Fengxian on their way to the Western Heaven for Buddhist scriptures. It was found that it didn't rain in Fengxian County, which caused Fengxian County magistrate to suffer greatly. He entrusted Tang Sheng and others to intercede with the Jade Emperor. The Monkey King arrived in the sky, only to find that the Jade Emperor had promised, and it would not rain in Fengxian until the chicken finished eating Mishan, the dog licked the mountain and the candle burned out the gold chain. So in this case, the Monkey King chose to drag Pig Bajie to Xiangpu to make a scene.

This plot is really better than the original.

The reason for saying this is mainly because in the original work, only a few short sentences describe the reason why it doesn't rain in Fengxian, which indicates that the Jade Emperor began to rain in Fengxian with the sincerity of the monarch. However, in film and television dramas, when the Monkey King asked the Jade Emperor in heaven, the Jade Emperor showed a neutral attitude. So in this case, the Monkey King would choose to make a scene with Pig in Xiangxiang Temple, which brought great trouble to the Jade Emperor. So in this case, the Jade Emperor chose Fengxian to rain. So on the whole, this story will really look better than the original.

Personal point of view.

In fact, many film and television dramas will make some appropriate adaptations on the basis of the original works. However, all the adaptations are just to make the film and television drama present better effects. For example, after the adaptation of the above-mentioned plots in The Journey to the West's film and television dramas, the visual experience brought to the audience is also quite good.
