Erlang and Wukong's rivalry runs very deep. There was this ancient poem that said if those two teamed up, they could achieve anything.
Also, there was this old version (I think the first?), of Lotus lantern, where Chenxiang had to fight against them. In this version, he manages to defeat both of them. it's the only record where someone manages to beat Wukong and Erlang although as I said, it's an old version, and it depends how people want to see it. I don't quite remember if it was mentioned if Chexiang merged with the lantern in this version or if the lantern appears in that old version. I believe that one of the reasons why Chenxiang can defeat Erlang is because the lantern is a creation of Nuwa. Then there were more versions of Lotus Lantern and Wukong became Chenxiang's mentor.
By the way, I would give you the link to where I saw the fsyy movie, but I literally had to refresh the page all the time to be able to see it, so I don't think you'll want it.
Greek Mythology: we have over three stories for the same myth and it’s weird and hard to follow every time! Nothing can beat us
Chinese Mythology: Hold my wine.
Funny thing is that you’ll find various different sources saying different things and we can’t revive Wu Cheng’en to ask him what his canon would be. Like the fact that in FSYY (from what I’ve read thus far) Yang Jian is the son of a Prime Minister rather than the Jade Emperor or how in other myths his names range from Li Erlang to Li Bing or Zhao Yu. The most popular version being Yang Jian though.
I remember reading that Chenxiang was taught by SWK, I never heard of the version where he defeats Wukong so that’s interesting. I thought his mother made the lamp too? Super interestingnckdnxk I love learning about myths and other iterations. Was the poem about Erlang and SWK working together from JTTW or some variant like that? Or was it its own poem :0?
oomfie idc so long as i get to see the dang movie i’ve been waiting for 84 years
#ask#its p inchresting#and ngl it makes sense that they’d work together so well i mean#NGL.. ngl swk has a LOT of the same traits erlang has the only difference is in their morals and ethics#like the fact swk had a drunken breakdown?? and then erlang had a breakdown over his mother in one myth#justice and then protector#ough#it scratches my brain esp with how swk was associated with guanyin who’s the goddess of MERCY of all things#mercy and justice go hand in hand yknow………they clash but theyre both needed#ANYWAYS SORRY RAMBLING#thank you for the info 🧡
