1）Bajie is the marshal in the heaven who leads the 100,000 galactic navy and eliminates demons. Among the goddesses, the Seven Fairies (picking peaches, dancing in fairy palaces, and being beside gods) and the Moon Goddess are the most famous. The fairy with the red flower mark on her forehead was knocked down in the Moon Palace. She may be the Seven Fairies. She was worried about the Marshal who made mistakes in heaven and was punished. She was willing to follow the Marshal, and she risked her own life to abandon eternal life. She inquired about the Marshal's current situation and came down from the Heavenly Palace to find him.
2）One day she heard people talking about the unlucky marshal in heaven, and the fairy asked. The colleague answered her: Marshal? He was demoted to the mortal world and turned into a pig! The fairy decided in her mind: spider? I want to be a spider too. Out of God's joke, in the ears of the fairy, there was a misunderstanding of homophones.
3）The Purple Fairy Goddess descended to earth and transformed into a small purple spider. They met on a mission to the west, did not mind each other's identity, and were pregnant with a daughter. She could be the Seven Fairies. Most of the difficulties encountered in traveling westward were arranged by the gods. Journey to the West is the prequel to Black Myth Wukong. There are seven purple spider sisters in total.
4）In the prequel, they heard the rumors and arrested Tang Sanzang. He did not harm Tang, but after taking a bath, he was arrested by Tang's disciples in exchange for hostages. Tang was hidden by the bug monster. They had no choice but to ask the bug monster for hostages, but the bug monster refused and the team executed them. Bajie received the order but let Zi Zhuer go. But she was seriously injured, and she was so hungry that she could only eat the corpses of her sisters. Zi Zhuer later gave birth to six daughters, the youngest daughter was born to her and Bajie Xiaozhu. Zi Zhuer generously gave birth to her dead sisters.
I believe that, compared to Western games that portray 'female power' by making women muscular, masculine, and vulgar, this animation truly showcases the strength and independence of women: She is clearly a deity with a high status, yet when she encounters love, she can abandon all her status, face all the discrimination and prejudice in the world with equanimity, and willingly pursue what she wants, even if it means becoming a monster, even if it means becoming ugly, she is fearless. Even knowing that she is cursed by the gods and cannot obtain love, even when the male protagonist feels pain for her and advises her not to persist in the next life, she does not fear or retreat. Instead, she shows immense strength, telling the male protagonist that she will challenge this curse in the next life. I think this is the true power of women, a power that is different from the simple, direct muscular strength of men, but is a resilient and consistent inner strength. I believe that this mode of expression is something that Western game developers need to learn. This is the true respect for women.
Even when violet spider has aged into a venerable matron, she is still elegent, and respectable. She has near total command, love and respect of her household. Am reminded of my Ammah by her character. This is the transcendent strength of the feminine.
❤your illustrations is so beautiful ❤ from Taiwan Journey to the West is a story we are familiar since the childhood with novels movies and animation and this version is so beautiful
and the whole plot ia trans-race relationship is forbidden. God/human/yaoguai can not mix. But she turned herself into an spider demon just to be with Bajie despite the rules set by the celestial court. And those idiots calling this game not diverse enough?
Based on everyone's summary, I will dumb it down further for those who still don't get it: -Piggy used to be a commander for the gods. -Piggy fell in love with moon lady but moon lady does not like him. Another woman loves him though. -Moon lady has forbidden love with a high ranking god and piggy accidentally saw this. -High ranking god cursed and banished piggy to the mortal world to remove witness on his affair with moon lady. -The woman who loves piggy was heartbroken by his banishment so she also follows him to mortal world. -Piggy and the woman who loves him met in the mortal world and fell in love with each other but it does not end will for them because piggy is cursed. -Every reincarnation, they meet again and it does not end will again for them. This repeats so many times. -For some reason, they become monsters and had a child -Piggy cannot acknowledge them because if he did, the heavens will wipe out his wife and daughter. -He leaves them and follows monkey boy instead to protect them from the heavens.
One mistake, the mortal girl who runs away from him is not Chang'e who has the red paint on the forehead. The moral girl is the daughter of Gao, who Ba Jie was supposed to marry in his mortal life but got scared away by his pig form.
The reason piggy and purple spider had a child was a sideline of JTW when Wu Kong asked ba jie to wipe out a spider nest with 7 spiders sisters inside. Ba Jie slaughtered 6 of them and spared his lover after recognised her true identity.
addition (from other commenter): In fact, Bajie's story has some beautiful morals that cannot be conveyed in the English dub. Among them, pig and spider have the same pronunciation in Chinese. Therefore, when Bajie was punished as a pig, the maid mistook the pig for a spider and was willing to be punished as a spider to find Bajie. Bajie's rake and spider's silk represent the beautiful pastoral love life of "men farming and women weaving" in ancient China.
@@Nevermorepicker actually its a(只) pig(猪) with spider(蜘蛛). The same pronounciation but different meaning make this story even more tragic which means they cannot be together even they love each other
Shes Korean though, she should have some understanding if not complete understanding of Wukong etc.... heck the animation and song itself has enough charm personality emotion thn most western productions! in hollywood and disney and Western games! What was the first game to make westerners cry!? YES FF7!
For the last part of the song, male voice sings "do not look back at me next life" and female voice sings "please look back at me next life." Bajie can't have a good ending to love story(he's cursed to suffer 1000 heartbreaks one way or another; so him acting like a pervert isn't just in his nature, but also his defense mechanism - can't suffer heartbreak if he drove everyone away with his behavior) and the girl just wants to be with him no matter what, probably in every reincarnation. This is also why he kept turning away from the spiders, he couldn't go against the fate decided by the heavens(even wukong couldn't, and he's no wukong) so he could only run away for his personal matters. But even then, he helps The Chosen One on his journey because of the bond between brothers.
He leaves them and helped Wukong also helping himself if Wukong success then his curses can be over and he can be with the loved ones, if not only him suffering consequence
I see so much discussions on the backstory of Bajie and the spider, and the Chinese mythology in general in the comment section. This is the best form of cultural exchange, education and communication I've seen in a long time. This is how DEI should be done properly: authentic, respectful, relevant, and open, trying to bring people together, as opposed to the tokenism that segregates which we see too often. Ironically, the latter tends to be the squeaky wheel that has the audacity to criticize the former.
The rake of the Bajie represents farming, and the silk of the Spider Lady represents weaving, which is the daily life of ordinary couples in ancient China.
@@zulucruz664 90s journey to the west TV show was dubbed in many languages because of how popular it was.. In Indonesia, in particular, because it was a dub ver, they pronounced names differently. Tang sanzang to Tom san Chong zhu Bajie to chu Patkai Wukong to Gokong Wujing to Woocing etc.. .. That's why some of us know them by different names. I think it's a dialec thing. Like some people say "Juan" Instead of "John" .. same name but it changed because of the language transition. There's a certain chinese dialec noises that bahasa Indonesia just unable to pronounce.
This story tells us that in your life, there will always be a girl you admire but cannot have, a girl who seems to love you yet fears the real you. In the end, you will find the one who loves you for who you truly are. But for the sake of a greater purpose, or to protect those you love, you will have to leave them behind and walk your own path.
In case you don"t know the background of the story, I would try to explain the cutscene: Tianpeng (Zhu Bajie) admires the Taiyin Star Lord (the moon goddess, the white hair lady), he bumped into a maid on the road, Chang'e (Chang'e is an official title, and all the maids of the Taiyin Star Lord are called Chang'e). The Jade Emperor and Taiyin Xingjun were caught in a private dating by Bajie, the Jade Emperor was afraid of affecting his reputation, so he demoted Bajie to the mortal world. Chang'e, who was in love with Bajie, descended to earth in order to following him and became a spider spirit. Bajie, who was demoted to earth, saw Lady Gao in Gao Lao villege, thinking she was Chang'e and chased her. Unexpectedly, Gao was so frightened when she saw Bajie's true looking. Bajie walked west to Pansi Cave and saw the reincarnated Chang'e (Spider Spirit). She recognized the pig head that she was longing for, and the two fell in love. Because she had Bajie's daughter, the spider spirit waited for Bajie until she grew old... and because of that time Bajie After recognizing the wrong person (Lady Gao), the spider spirit said before her death: "You are still as stupid as before", which also means that the old pig did not dare to recognize their mother and daughter for fear of being punished by heaven. Spiders actually know everything. I think Spider Spirit deliberately absorbed one of the six in order to survive until she could see Bajie. When she absorbed it, she already knew that she would die, but she had Bajie's daughter. , she wanted to see Bajie and wanted Bajie to see her daughter, but Bajie spoke very fiercely, and she also understood Bajie's thoughts. Spider had long known that when she saw Bajie, she would die. In fact, Bajie understands everything. He also sees that Spider understands his thoughts, but he has no other choice. He can only say those hurtful words and wants to separate from his daughter and protect Spider, but Spider has absorbed the roots. Already a demon destined to die, Bajie can't do anything. Spider and Bajie are both old monsters. In fact, they know everything. They both know what the other is thinking. The ending of the story is that they are powerless and helpless.
the truth of the lady in waiting (also called chang'e) is that "Do you know where is Ba'jie going?" the chang'e asks. "Oh You say Ba'jie? He become a pig" somebody tells. "A Spider? ok, I will become a spider to find him too." chang'e says cuz the "spider(蜘蛛)" and "a pig(支豬)" has the very very similar pronunciation in madarin chinese, basically same. A cruel fact : Being demoted to the lower realm is a very serious matter, because you have to endure all the disasters in the human world no matter how hard it will be. And almost can't not go back the upper realm
Heaven does not allow love, but Bajie fell in love with Chang 'e, Chang 'e fell in love with another powerful god, Bajie was banished by the powerful god to the earth because of seeing them together! Another ordinary female god fell in love with Bajie and voluntarily gave up her identity as a god. she also followed Bajie to the earth，For acceptting the pigman--Bajie, she became a yaoguai - spider. In Chinese, a pig and a spider sound the same!
In Chinese，one pig is “yi zhi zhu” “zhi” is a quantifier about animals，Spider is "zhi zhu"，So she didn't know that "zhi" is a quantifier，She thought zhu Bajie had become a spider（zhi zhu）,In order to be with zhu Bajie, she chose to become a spider after reincarnation
little back ground story about the piggy. Maybe can help understand the story. So at the beginning the little piggy is the general of 100k solders of celestial court. He was obssessed with the most beautiful godness in chinese mythology- Chang E. In the book of journey to the west, the little piggy was punished because he got drunk and teasing Chang E. But in the game version he was punished or exiled because he saw Chang E was dating Jade emperor. Be careful, in chinese mythology the love between gods or between gods and human are forbidden. This law is actually set by Jade emperor himself. Then the piggy got exiled and become mortal again, but accidently hes soul pocessed into a pig and that make him half human and half pig. He hide his appearance with spell and lived in a little villige for long time untill he married with another girl. Eventually he was found by Sun wukong and Tang san zang on the way to the west and take him as part of the team. The love story between the piggy and spider lady ingame seems like out of the book of journey to the west.
About the spider lady. In The journey to the west she is one of the devil tries to eat Tang San zang and got beaten by Sun wu kong. But in game it seems like a girl fall in love with the piggy and give up her immotality to chase the piggy down when he got exiled. We have a joke in China, the prononciation of "Spider" and "A pig" in chinese are actually same. So we say when the piggy become motal and the girl asked " what is him become now?" and someone says " A pig". Then she chased down and become a "spider". LOL
@@ChenChen-ii9gh well, thats has sense, as someone who is living in china for about 6 years and still cannot fully learn the language now this internal jokes, has more sense to me.
@@PlangPlangers the moon goddess in this story IS Chang'e because she's the one Bajie was flirting with in the original story. I know that there is another moon goddess, but this moon goddess is Chang'e. Anyway, whoever she is, the maid (spider) is 100% NOT Chang'e, but maybe just a new character introduced for this game. Because Chang'e never became a spider, she's still a normal goddess during and after the event of JTTW, and she is NOT in love with Bajie. While Bajie is already a pig for quite a while even before JTTW. People act like Chang'e is not a moon goddess when she's literally stated as the moon goddess on every story she's in.
To those wondering why Zhu Bajie is a pig, the book says his aim was off during the fall from Heaven and accidentally landed in a pig pen, thus reincarnated as a pig. Though not part of the book, the girl reincarnated into a spider likely by mistake because the Chinese pronunciations for pigs and spiders are the same.
I think there no accident that he fall to pig pen, since back to the heaven he was a handsome male god and for his curses to worked properly he has to become ugly like pig
@@TamTueDao in Chinese，one pig is “yi zhi zhu” “zhi” is a quantifier about animals，Spider is "zhi zhu"，So she didn't know that "zhi" is a quantifier，She thought zhu Bajie had become a spider（zhi zhu）
I think Chinese netizens shared the full story really well. Initially he was one of the deities in the heavenly realm but fell in love with Chang E. In his pursuit of her, he bumped into one of her followers who fell in love with him... eventually he found out that Chang E was in a relationship with the Heavenly Emperor who eventually banished him into the human world for harrassing Chang E. Hearing he got banished, the maid who fell in love with him decided to follow him into the human realm but by a misunderstanding, she became a spider spirit instead (只猪 and 蜘蛛) So when he became a pig in the human world, he came across the spider cave and eventually fell in love with her. They had a daughter and all but as part of his journey of redemption he was selected to join the Tang Monk in the journey to the west. So he did. She waited for him all this while but he never returned because the heavens had other plans for him. Eventually she understood that and when WuKong scattered across 6 places, she took in one piece of him hoping Piggy would return to see her one last time. This is despite knowing that likely that would mean her demise when they next meet. Piggy does not want to acknowledge them because he sees how the Bull King and his family met their ruin because he defied the heavens. So despite his own longing, he held back for the Spider and his daughter. That scene where he looked up, was holding back his tears and the spider never blamed him... they both knew this was for their daughter... Truly heart wrenching story writing
in the game the maid is called chang’e while the moon goddess is taiying xianjun. they’re two different entities here and in the actual chinese mythology, but the story depicted in the game is just largely rewritten by the game devs for fictional purposes and does not reflect the actual myth (since taiying xianjun and chang’e are different people, chang’e is loyal to hou yi, the jade emperor is loyal to the queen mother of the west, bajie was a despicable person when he was a martial general since he forced himself on chang’e when he got drunk and was then banished to the mortal world and turned into a pig, etc etc.) and the content in the original book.
@@hellbunniez3You are talking about the TV version of "Journey to the West", this TV series has many changes to "Journey to the West", in fact, in the "Journey to the West" novel and Taoist mythology, the moon goddess is the moon king, Chang 'e is just a maid.
For those curious of the 3 people at the ending of the song. They were the original group from the Journey of the West. Tang Sanzang (monk), Sha Wujing (Sandy) and Sun Wukong. Think of it like the Avengers or Justice League of Asia.
They're not like the Avengers or Justice League. They're just pilgrims who have to face several challenges on their way to get the Buddha's scriptures.
@@amsablan Yeah, they're more like the Fellowship of the Ring from LOTR. Coincidentally, LOTR is kind of like the "journey to the east" since Mordor is in the east.
@@octapusxft if the heaven know Bajie(piggy) have a family, they will threat him. (join the heaven’s stuff or spiders got killed) that’s why piggy didnt turn back, and never admit his daughter.
I’ve noticed that while some streamers have grasped the story, others are still missing the point-some even say it’s a tale of love at first sight! But what many fail to understand is why Zhu Bajie walked away so seemingly heartless. There’s a crucial moment in the story when, as his wife is on the brink of death, Zhu Bajie glances up at the sky before turning to leave. He’s being watched by the gods, powerless to act. He has no choice but to walk away, because if the gods discover what’s happening, his daughter’s life would be in danger too. He longed to see his daughter and wife one last time, but he just couldn’t. Without the deeper context you mentioned, it’s nearly impossible to grasp the symbolism woven into the animation. Only those who understand the entire framework can truly appreciate its themes-shattered mirrors, separation, helplessness, hope, and reunion. It’s all part of a cycle.
At the end of chapter 4, you can see Pigsy turned around and walked away from his 5 spider daughters. There is actually a reason behinde that. Back to the animation, Pigsy saw the Moon Godess with someone, that guu must have a high position in the Celestial court, and because Pigsy caught them red-handed, he exiled Pigsy to the human world. That unknown guy is the enemy, if he finds out Pigsy has relatives, the daughter will be in danger.
And although that centipede is the final boss of the chapter, you can actually do a hidden quest which will reveal the identity of the guy who exiled Pigsy
Thank you so much for making this video. The 4th chapter animation is by far the best one in my opinion and I'm very interested in how other people react to it. It saves me so much time and effort of going through people's whole streams just to see the reaction lol
BaJie was a god, he was punished on human world and turned into a pig (became a monster or YaoGuai). The girl was originally a fairy in the celestial court. She loved Bajie. So she followed him to the human world. When she saw that Bajie became a pig, she was surprised and sad. In Chinese mythology, human and monster cannot be together. In order to be with Bajie , she managed to make herself into a spider( monster or YaoGuai). Later, in order to finish his mission, Bajie had to leave her and travel west with Sun WuKong, Tang Monk and Sha Monk.
U forgot the white horse who carried Tang monk. The horse was a son of dragon empero and he got punished too. To be free from his punishment in one day he had promised to help the monk to the end the juorney.
Here's the lyrics I found for this song: 月光 在初见的桥头 Moonlight at the bridge of our first meeting 月光 在惜别的城楼 Moonlight on the tower where we parted 思念 是眉间的痒 Longing is the itch between my brows 月年年望相似 寻常最长久 Year after year, the moon remains the same; the ordinary lasts the longest 汹涌如江流 Surging like a river 忐忑似轻舟 Trembling like a light boat 有你相伴 With you by my side 这一路多么多么自由 This journey feels so free 云卷 Clouds unfurl 云舒 Clouds stretch out 风清 The wind is clear 雨骤 The rain is sudden 从立春到立秋 From the beginning of spring to the start of autumn 在那一刻我爱上你的所有 In that moment, I fell in love with all of you 忘了 是新添的垢 Forgetting is the stain newly added 记得 是老套的旧 Remembering is the old, worn cliché 知音 是相拥无言 A soulmate is one you embrace in silence 愿天黑话到明 总归说不够 May we speak through the night, but it's never enough 喧闹如江流 As noisy as a rushing river 宁静似轻舟 As serene as a drifting boat 有你相伴 With you by my side 这一路多么多么无忧 This journey is so carefree 晚霞 The evening glow 朝露 The morning dew 昙花 The fleeting bloom 苍狗 The ever-changing clouds 黑夜不过白昼 The night is merely a part of day 听错了风 又怎么会有以后 If you mishear the wind, how can there be a future? 飘渺似轻舟 Drifting like a light boat 寂寥如江流 Lonely like the river's flow 你不放手/你若放手 If you don't let go / If you let go 这一路何年何月得救 When will this journey find its end? 欢喜 Joy 或者哀愁 Or sorrow 绽放或者不朽 To bloom or to wither 有缘无分 下一世莫回眸 If fate brings us close but not together, don't look back in the next life 真情 True love 难留 Hard to keep 假意 False intentions 未够 Never enough 相守 To stay together 今生有求 There’s a desire in this life 下一世相遇 If we meet in the next life 请别再回眸/请记得回眸 Please don't look back / Please remember to look back
Don't speak a lick of Chinese and I still cried like a baby because the storytelling was in the emotion of the song and the animations and the music. This is what's known as a goddamn WORK OF ART. This is the kind of love everyone lives and dies in search of. This is how you make a timeless fucking video game.
3:03 the only one who understood the story was the girl at up right corner, the rest just couldn’t get it at all. It’s funny when it’s telling a sad love story, you don’t get it and trying to be funny 😂
The perk of knowing your people's culture. Though I wouldn't blame the others since they are either too young or never had any contact with Chinese mythology. It's like asking an average china man to name some gods from norse mythology and know their back story on top of that. The disconnection in culture is there but this is a step in knowing each other better.
From a literary standpoint, the tale of Zhu Bajie and the Violet Spider here reflects the classic themes of love and transformation. It's a narrative deeply rooted in the archetype of "forbidden love," where the characters defy celestial boundaries for their affection.
This story is a derivative tale based on the characters Zhu Bajie (Pigsy) and the Spider Spirit from *Journey to the West*. In the original *Journey to the West*, Zhu Bajie is the Heavenly Marshal Tianpeng, who was banished to the mortal world and reincarnated as a pig-headed, human-bodied creature after offending the goddess Chang'e. He later becomes one of Tang Sanzang's disciples, accompanying him, Sun Wukong, and others on a journey to retrieve Buddhist scriptures from the West. In the story you described, there is a romantic subplot between Tianpeng and a maidservant of Taiyin Star Lord, who are all called Chang'e. Tianpeng accidentally catches the Jade Emperor and Taiyin Star Lord meeting in private. To protect his reputation, the Jade Emperor demotes Tianpeng to the mortal world. Obsessed with Tianpeng, Chang'e descends to earth and reincarnates as a Spider Spirit. Zhu Bajie, now in the mortal world, mistakes a woman named Gao Cuilan for Chang'e and chases after her. Eventually, he travels west to Pansi Cave, where he encounters the reincarnated Chang'e (the Spider Spirit). She recognizes him as the one she has longed for, and they fall in love. Bajie places the Spider Spirit in the cave, and because she bears his daughter, she waits for him until she grows old. However, because of his earlier mistake with Gao Cuilan, the Spider Spirit says to Bajie before she dies, "You're still as foolish as before," indicating that Bajie, fearing punishment from the heavens, did not dare to acknowledge their relationship. The Spider Spirit understands everything. To live long enough to see Bajie again, she absorbs one of the six paths of reincarnation, knowing it would lead to her death. She wanted to see Bajie and for him to meet their daughter. Although Bajie spoke harshly to her, she understood his intentions. The Spider Spirit knew that she would die upon seeing Bajie again. Bajie, aware of everything, also realizes that the Spider Spirit understands his thoughts, but he has no choice. He can only say hurtful things, wanting to separate from his daughter to protect the Spider Spirit. But since she had already absorbed the essence that turned her into a demon destined to die, Bajie was powerless. Both Spider and Bajie, as ancient beings, fully comprehend each other's thoughts, yet they remain helpless and powerless against their tragic fate.
In the short film, there are three girls. The first one，her hair is shaped like bunny ears and a moon behind her, which is Chang'e (because Chang'e is the moon goddess and has a pet rabbit). The girl who gets bumped into is one of the Seven Fairy Maidens (a weaver. In the game, it is mentioned that seven spider spirits have occupied the place where the Seven Fairy Maidens bathe, actually implying that the Seven Fairy Maidens have turned into seven spider spirits. Spiders are skilled at weaving webs, which is why she knows Zhu Bajie. Additionally, Zhu Bajie has been pursuing girls in a place filled with cloth, hinting that the woman he loves is the Weaver Girl). The girl scared by Zhu Bajie is Miss Gao.
as a Chinese, I really want people to know that the reason he was cursed is he wanted chang'e at the very beginning, the Zizhuer, the spider lady was one of chang'e's slaves, also a small god (my English is not good, can't find a proper word), and she had a crush with Bajie. Cz Bajie is banished to the human world and transferred to a pig monster, Zizhuer decides to go with him and she just banishes herself to the human world. Before she goes to the human world she actually can decide what she can transfer to, so she asks: "what did he become?" and the answer is: "A pig". The pronunciation of "a pig" and "spider" are the same in Chinese, that's the reason why she became a spider in this life.
I'm trying to correct some information here: - Bajie was a General in Celestial Palace. - He liked the Moon Lady, and chased after her. - One maid loved Bajie at the first sign. - Moon Lady had forbidden love with 1 high-ranking god. - High-ranking god cursed and banished Bajie to the mortal world to remove witness. - The maid followed Bajie to the mortal world. However, the words "Pig" and "Spider" have the same pronunciation in Chinese. - So The maid was transformed into a spider. Bajie was transformed into a pig because of mispronouncing. - They only realized others when Bajie was helping Tang monk go west to find sutras. That was the only time they met in the mortal world, not as other people's explanation in the comment section. After that time, they had 1 child. - Bajie always chased after girls because he was dumb, he confused one girl with another. So the maid never changes her hairstyle just for Bajie to realize her when they meet. - Bajie left the girl twice, the first time when he went west to find sutras. The second time, when she died. - Bajie cannot acknowledge them because if he did, the heavens would wipe out his wife and daughter.
This segment of the ending cutscene from Black Myth: Wukong presents a tragic and complex love story involving Tian Peng (later known as Zhu Bajie) and the celestial figures in his past. Unlike traditional depictions, in this retelling, Tian Peng admires the Taiyin Star Lord (not the moon goddess Chang’e). Along his journey, he encounters a celestial maiden, one of the Taiyin Star Lord’s attendants, who holds the title "Chang’e" (since all of her attendants bear this title as an official rank, rather than as an individual name). It is this Chang’e who falls in love with Tian Peng. Tian Peng's fate takes a sharp turn when he inadvertently stumbles upon a secret meeting between the Jade Emperor and the Taiyin Star Lord. Fearing that his reputation might be tarnished by this discovery, the Jade Emperor punishes Tian Peng by banishing him to the mortal world, where he is transformed into a pig demon. The Chang’e attendant, unable to forget Tian Peng, sacrifices her immortality and descends to the mortal world, taking the form of a spider demon. She chooses this fate in order to be near him, knowing that it will lead to her eventual death. When Zhu Bajie, now in his pig demon form, arrives at Gao Village, he mistakes a mortal woman named Gao Cuilan for his lost love, the Chang’e he remembers. Driven by his love and longing, he pursues her, but Gao Cuilan, terrified by Bajie's true form, rejects him. This mistaken identity deepens the tragedy of Bajie's emotional confusion. As Zhu Bajie continues his journey westward, he eventually reaches the Pansi Cave, where he encounters the reincarnated Chang’e, now in the form of the Spider Demon. She immediately recognizes Bajie despite his pig-headed form. The two fall in love once again, and she gives birth to his daughter. However, due to her absorbing one of Bajie’s six roots (spiritual senses), her fate is sealed, and she knows that her death is inevitable. She chooses to stay with him until the end, waiting in the cave, hoping to show him their daughter. Before her death, the Spider Demon poignantly remarks, “You’re still as foolish as before.” This statement refers not only to Bajie’s earlier mistake in confusing Gao Cuilan with her, but also to his reluctance to acknowledge their daughter and their love out of fear of retribution from the Heavenly Court. The Spider Demon understands that Bajie’s denial is his way of protecting them from the inevitable consequences of divine punishment. Though Bajie is harsh towards her in their final moments, both he and the Spider Demon understand the emotional undercurrents beneath their words. Bajie knows that acknowledging his love for her would bring ruin upon them, and his cold words are an attempt to sever ties for their safety. Nevertheless, the Spider Demon knows that Bajie still cares for her and their daughter, and she accepts her fate. In her final moments, the Spider Demon dies with the knowledge that she has seen Bajie one last time. The entire exchange is a bittersweet reflection of their doomed love. Both Zhu Bajie and the Spider Demon are ancient beings who understand each other's hearts without needing to say much. Their final conversation, despite its apparent harshness, reveals the depth of their love and the helplessness of their situation. The tragic reality is that they are both bound by the rules of the celestial and mortal realms, and their love, though powerful, is not enough to overcome these constraints. The closing lines of their exchange also carry symbolic weight. The Spider Demon, in a wordplay on “spider” and “pig,” says, “You know what Tian Peng reincarnated as? He became a pig. Then I shall become a spider.” This reflects their inevitable, cyclical fates, predetermined by the heavens. Despite their deep connection, fate has written them into roles where they are destined never to truly be together, like a pair where one spins webs while the other is caught in them. This imagery ties into the ancient ideal of “man plows, woman weaves,” a metaphor for the domestic, agricultural harmony that is unattainable for them in their tragic love story.
Basically, Bajie (the pig) used to an admiral of the heaven who was in charge of the river of heaven, who was punished for being obsessed with Chang’E (the girl with white hair) by Jade Emperor, who exiled him to the mortal realm and made him a pig guai. Then Bajie went on the journey with the gang and arrived the Webbed Hollow (location in Chapter 4), where they met a bunch of spider guai (who were also once celestial being like Bajie, hence why you see Bajie bumped into that girl early in the cutscene) . Simply put, the gang wiped the cave but Bajie was sympathetic and didn’t kill the youngest one (of course they also had some entanglement), who was the Violet Spider. The story from the game can be pretty much caught on from there.
The face model of violet spider is the actress who played character Chang'E in TV series《Journey to the West》 which was produced in 1986. So some Chinese players round 30-50 age recognized her.
6:35 Bajie means he is a ugly and horrible yaoguai now, no that admiral anymore. And that spider lady means, it's Okay, I'm no longer that Chang'e; now I'm just as ugly and horrible yaoguai too. This time we can stay together. Wonderful love story.
Girl: “bro.. you didn’t even cry when we watched the Titanic. When was the last time you cried?” Me: “yesterday.” Girl: “wait.. what made you cry?” *Me:*
Okay, 3 different girls appeared. The first girl, who got chest bumped by Piggy, is the Spider Mother as you known, identifiable by the three petals on her forehead. At that moment, she was a goddess in celestial court, and fell in love with Piggy at her first sight. But, the piggy mysteriously left her without further interaction. Next, Piggy encounters Chang'e, the second girl, who is dating with the Jade Emperor, secretively. Immediately, Piggy is exiled by the Jade Emperor and falls to the ground, where he meets the 3rd girl, who has no petals on her forehead. He starts chasing her, but as he gradually transforms into a pig-faced creature, he frightens her away. Someday, Piggy goes to a river and sees a group of girls bathing. He approaches the most beautiful one as a pig-faced fish, not realizing she is actually the Spider Mother, the first girl in this story. But the girl recognizes him immediately, Why? Because Piggy is the reason why she choose to leave the celestial court and came to the ground. This explains why the girl wasn't afraid of his pig-like face at all, and immediately removed her clothes. Why she became a spider? Because while searching for Piggy, someone told her that he had turned into a "piece of pig" during the exile. The phrase I quoted, "piece of pig," sounds exactly like the word for "spider" in Chinese, leading the girl to believe she could transform into the same creature as him. "他变成了只猪", so "她也选择变成蜘蛛". The end.
No, the last quote is just a joke, about the pronunciation of a pig and spider are similar in Chinese. The reason why she became a spider spirit is unknown, only the reason of why she gave up her immortality is given, she loved Bajie and even he got exile she still pursue him.
The "Chang'e" you mentioned is actually "Taiyin star lord", overlord of the Moon. 0:15 She has that distinct look. "Chang'e" is a title for all the girls working under lord Taiyin. The girl that Pippy bumped into is the Spider girl when she still worked as Chang'e under the Moon Lord. The last bit about the homophone gag is just a joke made up by the fans. Don't treat it as a design/plot of the story.
I am a concert pianist in training and i fell in love with the piano and lyrics score to this immediately The story is so relatable and beautifully told and hopefully there will be more Love this ☮️❤️❤️☮️🙉
Zhu bajie fall in love with the moon princess chang'e.but chang'e was having an affair with the jade Emperor(the guys with white hair) having witness this the jade Emperor basically punished zhu bajie by cast him out of the celestial court. The girl who zhu bajie bump is a celestial court maid she fall in love to him,the news of zhu bajie banishment to Earth broken her heart so she follows him to Earth to him
In the rest of the Journey to the West, Bajie is either the inciting incident or the comic relief. But he’s such a tragic figure here. This recontextualized my entire viewpoint on his character.
From the cutscene, we can gather the following about Bajie's character and his journey: 1. Obsessive Pursuit of Love: Bajie is known for his relentless pursuit of love, often mistaking physical attraction for genuine affection. 2. Infatuation with Chang'e: His immediate infatuation with Chang'e, the Moon Goddess, demonstrates his superficial approach to love. 3. During his pursuit, he inadvertently meets Chang'e's handmaiden, forming an initial connection. 4. However, his desire for Chang'e overpowers his connection with the handmaiden. He walks away from the handmaiden to pursue Chang'e. 5. After accidentally discovering Chang'e's secret love affair with the Jade Emperor, Bajie is banished to Earth as punishment. 6. As a human, he marries a girl, but his punishment prevents him from ever experiencing true love. To ensure this, he is transformed into a hideous pig demon. 7. Throughout his life, Bajie's pursuit of love has been met with constant rejection due to his hideous pig form. 8. Fast forward to the story of Journey to the West, while traveling with Wukong and his companions, Bajie encounters a group of spider demons bathing. 9. One of the spider demons turns out to be Chang'e's handmaiden, whom Bajie recognizes from their previous encounter. The handmaiden recognizes Bajie immediately despite he transformed into fish with a pig face indicating the love the handmaiden has for Bajie is true. 10. When Bajie reveals his pig demon form, the handmaiden remains undeterred. Assuring Bajie that she does not mind, she also turns into her demon form indicating her acceptance to Bajie's demon form. It is also implied that she has also come to Earth in search of him, possibly motivated by a misunderstanding about his transformation i.e. spider and pig share the same sound in Chinese. 11. The flashback reveals the handmaiden's hardships as a spider demon, emphasizing the enduring nature of her love for Bajie. 12. Realization and Regret: Bajie's tears at the end suggest that he has finally realized the folly of his past actions and the value of true love. It's remarkable how a brief clip can encapsulate such a poignant love story for a comedic character like Bajie. It's a testament to the depth and complexity that video games can offer, challenging the notion that they are solely for children.
1. Chang’e is actually the title of all the servants of the Moon Goddess. 2. I like that the flashbacks are also layered as well, Chang’e pursuit for love slowly turn her into a spider yao guai from her initial Godly presence, in contrast to Bajie slowly turning from a hideous pig monster to a human, signifies his growth of enlightenment throughout Journey to the West, acknowledging his love for Chang’e, and ready to let go.
bajie was once a Grand marshal in the Palace of Heaven. The woman he likes is Chang 'e, which is the white-haired woman in the animation. Chang 'e's husband was an ancient human hero. For his heroic deeds, the Jade Emperor awarded him an elixir that would give him eternal life. It was then eaten by Chang 'e alone and was punished by the Jade Emperor to live on the cold moon forever. Yes, although Chang 'e looked like a cold bitch, bajie still loved her and often peeped at Chang 'e. Chang 'e's maid, the young spider lady then falls in love with this grand marshal（bajie） at first sight. Until he came across the affair between the Jade Emperor and Chang 'e, and discovered that the Jade Emperor punished her to live in the lonely moon palace just to keep her secret. As a result, Bajie was punished by the Jade Emperor and turned into a pig Yaoguai. The Spider Lady and her six other sisters were also punished since sunwukong stole the peach they were watching over. But she was happy because it gave her a chance to meet bajie again and she felt that they were finally equal. Then we enter the plot of Journey to the West, bajie turns into a catfish, harassing the bathing spider Yaoguais. He was instantly recognized by the Spider Lady as the former Grand Marshal. After experiencing some series of events, all yaoguai were killed by Sun Wukong. bajie secretly saved Lady Spider's life. It is worth explaining that in fact, four people in the West journy team were executed prisoners, and the western tour was originally an impossible task. According to the agreement, if they did complete such a journey, their previous SINS would be erased and they would become Buddhas. Then through the plot of the game we know that even if they become Buddhas, heaven will still find trouble for the four of them. This is why bajie dare not be with the spider lady, because he knows that heaven has not really spared him, he is afraid of involving the Spider Lady's family.
Also the pittle Spider adaemon girl has a pair of piggy ears in human form which implies that she is ZHU Ba-Jie and Violet Spider daemon Lady’s daughter
@@jeffpen4622 the white haired woman is either taiyin xingjun or chang'e, depends on who you think the moon goddess is, but in the original story, she's chang'e. Whoever the moon goddess is, the spider is not chang'e. Chang'e is literally the reason why he's turned into a pig in the original
I love how they used that montage of pictures of Violet Spider and Bajie to show how different two of them’s mindsets changed. Violet Spider started from normal and slowly became twisted and obsessed because how their love never ended well in each reincarnation. Bajie slowly recovered from being banished and turned back to normal.
The beginning of the story is when Zhu Bajie was a fairy, holding the position of Marshal Tianpeng, commanding the heavenly army and generals. After seeing the goddess of the moon, Zhu Bajie fell in love with her. During the pursuit, he bumped into the fairy Chang'e. In Journey to the West, Chang'e is a position, not a specific person, and the Chang'e that Zhu Bajie bumped into was Zi Zhu'er, who fell in love with Bajie. Later, Bajie collided with a private meeting between the gods and the moon goddess, which was not allowed, so he was punished to the mortal world. The first woman he met in the mortal world was Gao Cuilan, who was once Bajie's wife, but changed her mind when she saw that Bajie was a pig. This also laid the foundation for the future when Zi Zhu'er and Bajie were both monsters. Bajie arrived at Pansi Cave and saw Zizhu'er taking a bath. (This is interpreted as meaning that after Zhu Bajie was punished to the mortal world, Zizhu'er wanted to find him and asked someone else. They said Bajie was reincarnated as a pig【只zhi猪zhu】, and Zizhu'er thought it was a spider【蜘zhi蛛zhu】, so she also descended to the mortal world and became a spider. The cost of doing so was losing her immortal position and eternal life.) Bajie turned into a catfish and jumped into the water, which also laid the foundation for their children later on, because in Chinese idioms, the joy of fish and water means a matter between men and women. After Bajie and Purple Spider fell in love, the four masters and disciples came to Pansi Cave again. Sun Wukong ordered Bajie to kill seven spider spirits, but Bajie did not hurt the killer, but saved Purple Spider's life. Purple Spider survived against the sisters's corpse until the time line in the game. In the end, in the game, Bajie kept denying his relationship with Purple Zhu'er and their children, because the Bull Demon King was involved first. Zhu Bajie knew that if he confessed, Purple Zhu'er and her children would be chased by the Heavenly Court, and the Bull Demon King and several Spider Spirits could not resist. In the end, even Bajie didn't dare to admit that Zizhu'er had died. Instead, he silently left two elixirs in front of Zizhu'er's tomb, one to save her life and the other to make her face last forever. This is the background of love in the game.
Zhu Bajie was originally Marshal Tianpeng, but he was demoted to the lower realm after he encountered Chang'e having a private meeting with the Jade Emperor. After hearing the news, the palace maid volunteered to go to the lower world to find him and turned into a spider spirit, so the palace maid was a spider spirit. Later, the two recognized each other, fell in love, and became pregnant with a child. But Bajie could only cut off the relationship in order to learn the scriptures, but he also spared their lives because of his soft heart. After this incident, Spider Spirit has been waiting hard for Bajie's return until he is old. Later, after Bajie achieved Zhengguo, he met her again and saw the child, but Bajie could not recognize her because if the superiors knew about it, the child's life would be in danger, so Bajie was also protecting them in his own way. At first, Bajie mistakenly recognized the person, thinking that the first girl he saw was the palace maid, but he didn't know that he scared her away. Later in the game, the old palace maid said to Bajie before she died: "You are still stupid." This means that not only did Bajie recognize the wrong palace maid, but now he cannot recognize his own child. This also represents two ways of treating love Palace Maid: For you, I can abandon everything, leave my comfort zone, wait for hundreds of years, and it doesn’t matter if I become a monster. Zhu Bajie: I can endure everything for you, even if we don’t recognize each other, even if we don’t meet, it’s all to protect you. As long as you can live, that's enough.
Many people say they can't understand the Eight Precepts and the Spider Spirit: the details are that the Eight Precepts admired the Star King of Taiyin (not Chang'e), and the maid they bumped into on the road was Chang'e (Chang'e is an official position, and all of the Star King of Taiyin's attendants are called Chang'e). The Jade Emperor and the Star King of Tai Yin had a private meeting with the canopy, and were relegated to the mortal world. This Chang'e couldn't forget the canopy and descended to the mortal world to become a spider spirit. And was relegated to the eight ring in the high old village saw high Cuilan thought it was Chang E chased up, who knows high Cuilan saw the real body of the eight ring scared to death, westbound to the Pansi Cave, reincarnation of the purple spider at once recognized the heart of the pig's head, the two fell in love with each other, the eight ring is also in the robbery released the purple spider, the purple spider has a daughter of the eight ring has been waiting for the eight ring until the old age. Also because of that time to recognize the wrong person, purple spider before dying said that, you are still as stupid as before (refers to recognize the wrong person), also refers to the old pig do not dare to recognize them for fear of heaven liquidation. Strong as his own Monkey, also killed by the Heavenly Court. Bull Demon King, cut off a side of the powerful, just a little bit of relationship with the Heavenly Orders people, will be broken families and wives scattered. How could the tiny Pansi Cave withstand the Heavenly Court? The Eight Precepts do not have the skills of the Big Brother, nor are they as powerful as the King Bull Demon. If you don't turn back you can't love you, if you turn back you will be harmed. So the Eight Precepts disown her, they can't. The eight rings has insisted on helping the heavenly orders people, even if it fails, but also only need to pay their own lives, will not involve their loved ones again, lifting this breath can give you love, is to let go.
He was cursed because he was of the Heavenly Court, a divine being, who wasn't supposed to fall in love with another divine being. The female divine being was cursed as well....later....and turned into a spider.
This scne tell us this game is love letter for the one know the story, without word and text exposition, we can see some different takes about this scne and for the one know the story it have deep meaning behind this story pig and spider
Zhu Bajie was originally the Tianpeng Marshal who commanded 80,000 Tianhe sailors in the heavenly court. Because he saw the moon god and Chang'e's private meeting, he was demoted to earth and turned into a pig by mistake.
A little story from the art scene : Bajie is a general in the sky, he really loves the moon goddess, and when he was chasing the moon goddess he hit Chang e, but Bajie's love was one-sided, he caught the sky emperor having an affair with the moon goddess, because only Bajie knew about the affair, Bajie was thrown away to earth by the emperor of heaven and was cursed to become a pig demon, because Chang e really loved Bajie, Chang E followed Bajie to earth and Chang E was cursed to become a spider demon, and when on earth they immediately recognized each other and actually they could live happy, but the sky didn't allow it, Bajie was assigned journey to the west with Wukong, and the worst thing was that the sky made all the demons become evil and they had to be destroyed during the journey to west, and finally Bajie had to face Chang E until he died.
SAME AS HEEERE! I don't know why because I'm from HK, piggy and spirder story has been listen many many times, but still wanna cry when see this part of animation
The people who love you will always love you, no matter what you become. This is the resonance of the people you love. I cried several times when I saw this.
This animation is an antecedent of the relationship between the old spider lady and Bajie in the game, and should be understood in 3 parts. Part 1: Bajie, a simpleton commander of the celestial palace fell into unilateral love for the Goddess of the Moon. In his blind pursuit, he accidentally pumped into a maid, who fell in love for Bajie. But Bajie did not know about it. In his pursuit for love, he accidentally found out that the Goddess of Moon was dating the celestial emperor. The celestial emperor, to punish Bajie, banished him to earth and turned him into a boar demon. Part 2: Bajie found himself in a cloth making factory, where he met a human beauty. He went through the hung clothes (symbolizing obstacles) to pursuit that lady, who also liked Bajie. But when Bajie went through all obstacles to reach that lady, he could not help but revealed his boar demon state (just like a werewolf involuntarily revealing itself under the full moon) and it scared the lady. So the pursuit of love by Bajie failed again. Part 3. Bajie joined Wukong and Sha Seng to escort their master to the West. On the way, Bajie saw a bunch of ladies taking a bath in a lake. Being a love-stricken boar, he turned himself into a fish to take a peep. Those ladies were in fact spider demons. One of them was the maid which was ran into by Bajie in the celestial court mentioned in Part 1. As she had fell in love with Bajie, which is forbidden in the celestial court, she was also banished to earth and turned into a spider demon by the celestial emperor. When she saw the fish, she immediately recognized it as Bajie. When Bajie revealed his state as a boar demon, she also revealed herself in spider form and informed Bajie the reason why she was there. They fell in love and copulated. As the other spider demons tried to harm the master, they were defeated by Wukong and Bajie. However, Bajie spared the life of the spider lady and, sadly, went on to the western journey leaving the spider lady behind because he knew that their love affairs would attract the wrath of the celestial emperor if revealed. In this game, the spider lady had actually waited for Bajie for hundreds of years as she grew old. When Bajie arrived, she tried to keep Bajie there by threatening to kill him if he did not comply. But Bajie refused. And it was then that the spider lady showed Bajie that they had a daughter. At the end of this episode, the spider lady was fatally wounded. Bajie however knew that he had to deny his relationship with the spider lady and his daughter to protect the daughter from being exterminated as the relationship given to her birth was in breach of the celestial rules. That explains why Bajie was holding back his tears when he turned away from the dying spider lady and his daughter, and at the same time the spider lady called out "You are just as stupid" before she died, knowing that Bajie, in making all the hurtful denials, was trying to protect their daughter.
To put it plainly, you are a department manager at your company, and an unassuming young woman from another department unexpectedly falls in love with you. The boss's secretary is quite beautiful, yet you find yourself drawn to her. One day, you stumble upon an affair between the boss and the secretary, and the boss recognizes you. Upon returning to the office, the boss dismisses you. Undeterred, the young woman from the other department resigns to pursue you. What follows is a love story that unfolds in various stages between you and this young woman.
Bottom right doesnt understand at all. Bajie sees his love turning into a spider and suffering because the Celestial court does not want them together, and she sees through the pig to the man she fell in love with. The man wants the pain of their love to end for her sake, and the woman is holding on the hope
A brief summary: Chinese gods are a metaphor for ancient Chinese rulers (upper elites), while monsters are a metaphor for people who have abilities, talents, and free thoughts but no strong backers. Hell is a metaphor for the poorest people at the bottom who are exploited, abused, and enslaved. The demon world refers to a failed group that has certain forces that want to resist. The gods in the West are used for personal worship
Moreover, the Chinese have never said anything about heaven. That is the immortal world. (In ancient China, only good emperors and Taoist cultivators could become immortals.) Ordinary people cannot become immortals.
lol it is a novel based on mythologies and use it to show real world issues such as greed/power abuse/oppression. The whole idea Wukong is popular is he is the symbol of rebellion against authority and oppression. The actual mythologies might be different. In general mythologies mostly are created by people either to explain things that can not be explained at the time or to express the things they are not allowed to openly express. Oriental or west it ia all the same mostly.
well the original author for the book in the 16th century was working inside the palace, in the court itself, and wrote it as an allegory to the harshness of the palace court, its politics, and the corrupt and greedy authorities he worked for. he was tired and weary about having to deal with them and their malicious ways just to gain power.
The pronunciation of pig in Chinese rhymes with spider. So the fairy went down to earth and was reincarnated as a spider, 1 day in heaven is 7 years on earth or less. The fairy waited 200 years to meet him, and they gave birth to a child. Because of their fate, they were separated, so at the end of the game, bajie turned away to avoid the sky man from killing his son. How boring, 200 years of reincarnation, 10 years of being husband and wife, 100 years of waiting again. Sigh
If you enjoyed this video don’t forget to like and subscribe it will help me out a lot and there is a lot more reactions coming out! Thanks again for the support! ❤
Edit: Never mind apparently my gameplay has copyright audio on it which makes no sense since its my gameplay and I own the game 😭 so don’t worry the audio will not be cut from the reactions
1）Bajie is the marshal in the heaven who leads the 100,000 galactic navy and eliminates demons. Among the goddesses, the Seven Fairies (picking peaches, dancing in fairy palaces, and being beside gods) and the Moon Goddess are the most famous. The fairy with the red flower mark on her forehead was knocked down in the Moon Palace. She may be the Seven Fairies. She was worried about the Marshal who made mistakes in heaven and was punished. She was willing to follow the Marshal, and she risked her own life to abandon eternal life. She inquired about the Marshal's current situation and came down from the Heavenly Palace to find him.
2）One day she heard people talking about the unlucky marshal in heaven, and the fairy asked. The colleague answered her: Marshal? He was demoted to the mortal world and turned into a pig! The fairy decided in her mind: spider? I want to be a spider too. Out of God's joke, in the ears of the fairy, there was a misunderstanding of homophones.
3）The Purple Fairy Goddess descended to earth and transformed into a small purple spider. They met on a mission to the west, did not mind each other's identity, and were pregnant with a daughter. She could be the Seven Fairies. Most of the difficulties encountered in traveling westward were arranged by the gods. Journey to the West is the prequel to Black Myth Wukong. There are seven purple spider sisters in total.
4）In the prequel, they heard the rumors and arrested Tang Sanzang. He did not harm Tang, but after taking a bath, he was arrested by Tang's disciples in exchange for hostages. Tang was hidden by the bug monster. They had no choice but to ask the bug monster for hostages, but the bug monster refused and the team executed them. Bajie received the order but let Zi Zhuer go. But she was seriously injured, and she was so hungry that she could only eat the corpses of her sisters. Zi Zhuer later gave birth to six daughters, the youngest daughter was born to her and Bajie Xiaozhu. Zi Zhuer generously gave birth to her dead sisters.
I believe that, compared to Western games that portray 'female power' by making women muscular, masculine, and vulgar, this animation truly showcases the strength and independence of women: She is clearly a deity with a high status, yet when she encounters love, she can abandon all her status, face all the discrimination and prejudice in the world with equanimity, and willingly pursue what she wants, even if it means becoming a monster, even if it means becoming ugly, she is fearless. Even knowing that she is cursed by the gods and cannot obtain love, even when the male protagonist feels pain for her and advises her not to persist in the next life, she does not fear or retreat. Instead, she shows immense strength, telling the male protagonist that she will challenge this curse in the next life. I think this is the true power of women, a power that is different from the simple, direct muscular strength of men, but is a resilient and consistent inner strength. I believe that this mode of expression is something that Western game developers need to learn. This is the true respect for women.
Bravo. Excellent explanation! This is SOOOO far better than any woke agenda.
Even when violet spider has aged into a venerable matron, she is still elegent, and respectable. She has near total command, love and respect of her household.
Am reminded of my Ammah by her character. This is the transcendent strength of the feminine.
❤your illustrations is so beautiful ❤ from Taiwan Journey to the West is a story we are familiar since the childhood with novels movies and animation and this version is so beautiful
The perfect explanation!
IGN: "not feminist enough"
"For a thousand lifetimes I shall protect you, no matter the cost."

People who say "not enough diversity" should be banned from playing this game
and the whole plot ia trans-race relationship is forbidden. God/human/yaoguai can not mix. But she turned herself into an spider demon just to be with Bajie despite the rules set by the celestial court. And those idiots calling this game not diverse enough?
@@enishiyukishiro6751 Yeah, this is true love
They look at the surface level of diversity, not the underlying tone of what makes something truly diverse.
cinematic language at its peak: no words spoken, everyone cries.
In Chinese melodrama it's everyone else including the viewers who cry. The tragic lovers don't as they've completely run out.
the song is a crucial part of the cinematic
The song has this best part:
"Male: Please forget about me…
Female: Please don’t forget about me…"
😭😭😭
😢😢😢
For me this part is really hurt
That in next life
male: I beg you, say no
female: Please don't say no

我來自台灣 我不會說英文
其實中文的意思是回眸
回眸的意思是 轉頭看向對方
在中文有特別的隱喻
這個隱喻是代表 兩人會因此 產生緣分、羈絆
有了羈絆 就又會回到新的輪迴
新的輪迴 代表痛苦又繼續
所以豬先生 不願意在回眸
而蜘蛛女 還放不開 希望緣分能再續
Based on everyone's summary, I will dumb it down further for those who still don't get it:
-Piggy used to be a commander for the gods.
-Piggy fell in love with moon lady but moon lady does not like him. Another woman loves him though.
-Moon lady has forbidden love with a high ranking god and piggy accidentally saw this.
-High ranking god cursed and banished piggy to the mortal world to remove witness on his affair with moon lady.
-The woman who loves piggy was heartbroken by his banishment so she also follows him to mortal world.
-Piggy and the woman who loves him met in the mortal world and fell in love with each other but it does not end will for them because piggy is cursed.
-Every reincarnation, they meet again and it does not end will again for them. This repeats so many times.
-For some reason, they become monsters and had a child
-Piggy cannot acknowledge them because if he did, the heavens will wipe out his wife and daughter.
-He leaves them and follows monkey boy instead to protect them from the heavens.
哇解释的太棒了。大概就是这意思。因为八戒看到了牛魔王的下场所以不敢跟家人相认 害怕牵连到家人。难受😣
One mistake, the mortal girl who runs away from him is not Chang'e who has the red paint on the forehead. The moral girl is the daughter of Gao, who Ba Jie was supposed to marry in his mortal life but got scared away by his pig form.
The reason piggy and purple spider had a child was a sideline of JTW when Wu Kong asked ba jie to wipe out a spider nest with 7 spiders sisters inside. Ba Jie slaughtered 6 of them and spared his lover after recognised her true identity.
addition (from other commenter):
In fact, Bajie's story has some beautiful morals that cannot be conveyed in the English dub. Among them, pig and spider have the same pronunciation in Chinese. Therefore, when Bajie was punished as a pig, the maid mistook the pig for a spider and was willing to be punished as a spider to find Bajie. Bajie's rake and spider's silk represent the beautiful pastoral love life of "men farming and women weaving" in ancient China.
@@Nevermorepicker actually its a(只) pig(猪) with spider(蜘蛛). The same pronounciation but different meaning make this story even more tragic which means they cannot be together even they love each other
That one's crying is the only one knows the context.
Yes
Shes Korean though, she should have some understanding if not complete understanding of Wukong etc.... heck the animation and song itself has enough charm personality emotion thn most western productions! in hollywood and disney and Western games!
What was the first game to make westerners cry!? YES FF7!
@@antwango Daphne? She's Chinese-Canadian. I think she even understand the meaning of the song right away, hence the crying. No?
@@antwangouhhhh well the actual journey to the west story with them two isn’t quite so pretty nor romantic…
For the last part of the song, male voice sings "do not look back at me next life" and female voice sings "please look back at me next life."
Bajie can't have a good ending to love story(he's cursed to suffer 1000 heartbreaks one way or another; so him acting like a pervert isn't just in his nature, but also his defense mechanism - can't suffer heartbreak if he drove everyone away with his behavior) and the girl just wants to be with him no matter what, probably in every reincarnation. This is also why he kept turning away from the spiders, he couldn't go against the fate decided by the heavens(even wukong couldn't, and he's no wukong) so he could only run away for his personal matters. But even then, he helps The Chosen One on his journey because of the bond between brothers.
that why he turned his back away to the spider
這些在我們中國人都知道！所以我們更有感觸！😢😢😢
@@KaikaiPoon-sh4wnVietnam too
He leaves them and helped Wukong also helping himself if Wukong success then his curses can be over and he can be with the loved ones, if not only him suffering consequence

I see so much discussions on the backstory of Bajie and the spider, and the Chinese mythology in general in the comment section. This is the best form of cultural exchange, education and communication I've seen in a long time. This is how DEI should be done properly: authentic, respectful, relevant, and open, trying to bring people together, as opposed to the tokenism that segregates which we see too often. Ironically, the latter tends to be the squeaky wheel that has the audacity to criticize the former.
Fr, this is one of the game with the most diversed background I've seen lately

That's why some of us know them by different names. I think it's a dialec thing. Like some people say "Juan" Instead of "John" .. same name but it changed because of the language transition.
There's a certain chinese dialec noises that bahasa Indonesia just unable to pronounce.

This is the best explanation❤
天蓬仰慕太陰星君（非嫦娥），路上撞到的侍女才是嫦娥（嫦娥是個官位，所有太陰星君的侍女都叫嫦娥）。玉帝和太陰星君私會被天蓬撞見（玉帝怕影響到自己的清譽）所以將天蓬貶入凡間，這個嫦娥對天蓬念念不忘自降下凡成了蜘蛛精。而被貶下凡的八戒在高老莊看見高翠蘭以為是嫦娥追了上去，誰知道高翠蘭看見八戒的真身嚇得不輕，八戒西行到了盤絲洞，轉世的嫦娥（蜘蛛精）一眼就認出了心心念念的豬頭，兩人相愛，八戒也在這裡放了蜘蛛精，因有了八戒的女兒，蜘蛛精一直等著八戒直到老去…………也因為那次八戒認錯了人（高翠蘭），蜘蛛精死前說了那句：「你還是像以前一樣笨」也指老豬不敢認她們母女怕被天庭清算。
蜘蛛其實什麼都知道，我想蜘蛛精是故意吸收六根之一的，就是為了能熬到見八戒一面，在她吸收的時候她就已經知道必死的結局了，但是她有和八戒的女兒，她想見八戒，想讓八戒看到女兒，而八戒很兇的說話，她也明白了八戒的心意，蜘蛛早就知道見到八戒的時候就是她身死道消的時候。八戒其實也是什麼都明白，他也看出來蜘蛛明白他的心意，但是他沒有其他的選擇，他只能說那些傷人的話，想撇清關係保護女兒和蜘蛛，但是蜘蛛已經吸收了根，已經是指定必死的妖，八戒什麼都做不到。蜘蛛和八戒都是老妖怪了，其實什麼都清楚，兩個人都知道對方心裡所想，故事的結局就是無能為力又無可奈何。兩個人雖然說了很多話，但是更有那種「相顧無言，唯有淚千行」的意味
"蜘蛛" "隻豬" "知足"
“你知道到天蓬轉世成什麼了嗎？”
「你說天蓬啊，他轉世成了隻豬。」
“蜘蛛啊，那我也要變成蜘蛛。”
偏偏從不耳盲的她，卻在決定下凡的那一刻耳盲了，就像從一開始上天已經為他們寫好了有緣無份的劇本結局。

感谢，原来他们的故事如此感人。
😂哪來的故事呀
In case you don"t know the background of the story, I would try to explain the cutscene:
Tianpeng (Zhu Bajie) admires the Taiyin Star Lord (the moon goddess, the white hair lady), he bumped into a maid on the road, Chang'e (Chang'e is an official title, and all the maids of the Taiyin Star Lord are called Chang'e). The Jade Emperor and Taiyin Xingjun were caught in a private dating by Bajie, the Jade Emperor was afraid of affecting his reputation, so he demoted Bajie to the mortal world. Chang'e, who was in love with Bajie, descended to earth in order to following him and became a spider spirit. Bajie, who was demoted to earth, saw Lady Gao in Gao Lao villege, thinking she was Chang'e and chased her. Unexpectedly, Gao was so frightened when she saw Bajie's true looking. Bajie walked west to Pansi Cave and saw the reincarnated Chang'e (Spider Spirit). She recognized the pig head that she was longing for, and the two fell in love. Because she had Bajie's daughter, the spider spirit waited for Bajie until she grew old... and because of that time Bajie After recognizing the wrong person (Lady Gao), the spider spirit said before her death: "You are still as stupid as before", which also means that the old pig did not dare to recognize their mother and daughter for fear of being punished by heaven.
Spiders actually know everything. I think Spider Spirit deliberately absorbed one of the six in order to survive until she could see Bajie. When she absorbed it, she already knew that she would die, but she had Bajie's daughter. , she wanted to see Bajie and wanted Bajie to see her daughter, but Bajie spoke very fiercely, and she also understood Bajie's thoughts. Spider had long known that when she saw Bajie, she would die. In fact, Bajie understands everything. He also sees that Spider understands his thoughts, but he has no other choice. He can only say those hurtful words and wants to separate from his daughter and protect Spider, but Spider has absorbed the roots. Already a demon destined to die, Bajie can't do anything. Spider and Bajie are both old monsters. In fact, they know everything. They both know what the other is thinking. The ending of the story is that they are powerless and helpless.
The best version of the explanation
错误的，在游戏影神图，八戒的人物介绍里面白衣白发的就是嫦娥并不是太阴星君。蜘蛛精只是一位给八戒献酒的普通仙女。
All of this because that idiot jade emperor, Wu Kong should war more with heaven
@@界三 no no, the white haired lady in tbe begining is not Chang'e, shes Taiyin Xingjun
The maid is Chang'e
the truth of the lady in waiting (also called chang'e) is that
"Do you know where is Ba'jie going?" the chang'e asks.
"Oh You say Ba'jie? He become a pig" somebody tells.
"A Spider? ok, I will become a spider to find him too." chang'e says
cuz the "spider(蜘蛛)" and "a pig(支豬)" has the very very similar pronunciation in madarin chinese, basically same.
A cruel fact : Being demoted to the lower realm is a very serious matter, because you have to endure all the disasters in the human world no matter how hard it will be. And almost can't not go back the upper realm
TRUE LOVE across the species, Nothing can be more diverse than That right?😂
They were once the same kind, celestial.
Heaven does not allow love, but Bajie fell in love with Chang 'e, Chang 'e fell in love with another powerful god, Bajie was banished by the powerful god to the earth because of seeing them together! Another ordinary female god fell in love with Bajie and voluntarily gave up her identity as a god. she also followed Bajie to the earth，For acceptting the pigman--Bajie, she became a yaoguai - spider. In Chinese, a pig and a spider sound the same!

I've been waiting for this reaction video since yesterday. Thanks bro
You are very welcome 🙏
little back ground story about the piggy. Maybe can help understand the story.
So at the beginning the little piggy is the general of 100k solders of celestial court. He was obssessed with the most beautiful godness in chinese mythology- Chang E. In the book of journey to the west, the little piggy was punished because he got drunk and teasing Chang E. But in the game version he was punished or exiled because he saw Chang E was dating Jade emperor. Be careful, in chinese mythology the love between gods or between gods and human are forbidden. This law is actually set by Jade emperor himself. Then the piggy got exiled and become mortal again, but accidently hes soul pocessed into a pig and that make him half human and half pig. He hide his appearance with spell and lived in a little villige for long time untill he married with another girl. Eventually he was found by Sun wukong and Tang san zang on the way to the west and take him as part of the team.
The love story between the piggy and spider lady ingame seems like out of the book of journey to the west.
About the spider lady. In The journey to the west she is one of the devil tries to eat Tang San zang and got beaten by Sun wu kong. But in game it seems like a girl fall in love with the piggy and give up her immotality to chase the piggy down when he got exiled. We have a joke in China, the prononciation of "Spider" and "A pig" in chinese are actually same. So we say when the piggy become motal and the girl asked " what is him become now?" and someone says " A pig". Then she chased down and become a "spider". LOL
@@ChenChen-ii9gh well, thats has sense, as someone who is living in china for about 6 years and still cannot fully learn the language now this internal jokes, has more sense to me.
Thanks for explaining
That was nor Chang e, that was the moon goddess. The Chang e was the one that turned into the spider demon
@@PlangPlangers the moon goddess in this story IS Chang'e because she's the one Bajie was flirting with in the original story. I know that there is another moon goddess, but this moon goddess is Chang'e. Anyway, whoever she is, the maid (spider) is 100% NOT Chang'e, but maybe just a new character introduced for this game. Because Chang'e never became a spider, she's still a normal goddess during and after the event of JTTW, and she is NOT in love with Bajie. While Bajie is already a pig for quite a while even before JTTW.
People act like Chang'e is not a moon goddess when she's literally stated as the moon goddess on every story she's in.
To those wondering why Zhu Bajie is a pig, the book says his aim was off during the fall from Heaven and accidentally landed in a pig pen, thus reincarnated as a pig. Though not part of the book, the girl reincarnated into a spider likely by mistake because the Chinese pronunciations for pigs and spiders are the same.
Zhu 😅
In Vietnamese, Tru (piggy) and Chu (Spider) have the same pronunciation too.
I think there no accident that he fall to pig pen, since back to the heaven he was a handsome male god and for his curses to worked properly he has to become ugly like pig
lol what if the girl was actually a pig not a spider
@@TamTueDao in Chinese，one pig is “yi zhi zhu” “zhi” is a quantifier about animals，Spider is "zhi zhu"，So she didn't know that "zhi" is a quantifier，She thought zhu Bajie had become a spider（zhi zhu）
I think Chinese netizens shared the full story really well.
Initially he was one of the deities in the heavenly realm but fell in love with Chang E. In his pursuit of her, he bumped into one of her followers who fell in love with him... eventually he found out that Chang E was in a relationship with the Heavenly Emperor who eventually banished him into the human world for harrassing Chang E.
Hearing he got banished, the maid who fell in love with him decided to follow him into the human realm but by a misunderstanding, she became a spider spirit instead (只猪 and 蜘蛛)
So when he became a pig in the human world, he came across the spider cave and eventually fell in love with her. They had a daughter and all but as part of his journey of redemption he was selected to join the Tang Monk in the journey to the west. So he did. She waited for him all this while but he never returned because the heavens had other plans for him.
Eventually she understood that and when WuKong scattered across 6 places, she took in one piece of him hoping Piggy would return to see her one last time. This is despite knowing that likely that would mean her demise when they next meet.
Piggy does not want to acknowledge them because he sees how the Bull King and his family met their ruin because he defied the heavens. So despite his own longing, he held back for the Spider and his daughter. That scene where he looked up, was holding back his tears and the spider never blamed him... they both knew this was for their daughter...
Truly heart wrenching story writing
Chang e is the maid not the goddess
in the game the maid is called chang’e while the moon goddess is taiying xianjun. they’re two different entities here and in the actual chinese mythology, but the story depicted in the game is just largely rewritten by the game devs for fictional purposes and does not reflect the actual myth (since taiying xianjun and chang’e are different people, chang’e is loyal to hou yi, the jade emperor is loyal to the queen mother of the west, bajie was a despicable person when he was a martial general since he forced himself on chang’e when he got drunk and was then banished to the mortal world and turned into a pig, etc etc.) and the content in the original book.
@@hellbunniez3You are talking about the TV version of "Journey to the West", this TV series has many changes to "Journey to the West", in fact, in the "Journey to the West" novel and Taoist mythology, the moon goddess is the moon king, Chang 'e is just a maid.

For those curious of the 3 people at the ending of the song. They were the original group from the Journey of the West. Tang Sanzang (monk), Sha Wujing (Sandy) and Sun Wukong. Think of it like the Avengers or Justice League of Asia.
They're not like the Avengers or Justice League. They're just pilgrims who have to face several challenges on their way to get the Buddha's scriptures.
I hope we see the them if they made another wukong game
I always saw them as the fellowship of scriptures instead of rings and going on a journey to the West instead of Mordor.
To me, they are more mythical but somewhat more humane than the Western figures, maybe its just me can relate to them more.
@@amsablan Yeah, they're more like the Fellowship of the Ring from LOTR. Coincidentally, LOTR is kind of like the "journey to the east" since Mordor is in the east.
Youngest spider is his daughter.
Does his daughter know he’s her father?
No, she doesn't know cos Bajie wants to protect his family from the heaven court, so he didn't tell this secret to anyone
@@啊哈哈-l4m Is the heaven court hunting down his bloodline?

and for those who are curious as to why Kang Jin Star called Bajie "Admiral" is because he WAS an admiral of the Celestial Fleet before his demotion.

I’ve noticed that while some streamers have grasped the story, others are still missing the point-some even say it’s a tale of love at first sight! But what many fail to understand is why Zhu Bajie walked away so seemingly heartless. There’s a crucial moment in the story when, as his wife is on the brink of death, Zhu Bajie glances up at the sky before turning to leave. He’s being watched by the gods, powerless to act. He has no choice but to walk away, because if the gods discover what’s happening, his daughter’s life would be in danger too. He longed to see his daughter and wife one last time, but he just couldn’t.
Without the deeper context you mentioned, it’s nearly impossible to grasp the symbolism woven into the animation. Only those who understand the entire framework can truly appreciate its themes-shattered mirrors, separation, helplessness, hope, and reunion. It’s all part of a cycle.
At the end of chapter 4, you can see Pigsy turned around and walked away from his 5 spider daughters. There is actually a reason behinde that. Back to the animation, Pigsy saw the Moon Godess with someone, that guu must have a high position in the Celestial court, and because Pigsy caught them red-handed, he exiled Pigsy to the human world. That unknown guy is the enemy, if he finds out Pigsy has relatives, the daughter will be in danger.
And although that centipede is the final boss of the chapter, you can actually do a hidden quest which will reveal the identity of the guy who exiled Pigsy
That "unknown guy" is the Jade Emperor, he was like the Manwë or Zeus of Chinese pantheon.
I’m hoping we get a dlc as full power wukong raiding the celestial court
Thank you so much for making this video. The 4th chapter animation is by far the best one in my opinion and I'm very interested in how other people react to it. It saves me so much time and effort of going through people's whole streams just to see the reaction lol

Game Sienese: we have a spider fall in love with a pig
Screen rant: not diverse enough!
BaJie was a god, he was punished on human world and turned into a pig (became a monster or YaoGuai). The girl was originally a fairy in the celestial court. She loved Bajie. So she followed him to the human world. When she saw that Bajie became a pig, she was surprised and sad. In Chinese mythology, human and monster cannot be together. In order to be with Bajie , she managed to make herself into a spider( monster or YaoGuai). Later, in order to finish his mission, Bajie had to leave her and travel west with Sun WuKong, Tang Monk and Sha Monk.
Actually,Baije wasnt a god, he was Celestial Marshal😅

Don't speak a lick of Chinese and I still cried like a baby because the storytelling was in the emotion of the song and the animations and the music.

This is the kind of love everyone lives and dies in search of.

The perk of knowing your people's culture. Though I wouldn't blame the others since they are either too young or never had any contact with Chinese mythology. It's like asking an average china man to name some gods from norse mythology and know their back story on top of that. The disconnection in culture is there but this is a step in knowing each other better.

@@kevindogaru4080 It was an either/or conjunction. If you think one's not young enough then they fall into the other category.
From a literary standpoint, the tale of Zhu Bajie and the Violet Spider here reflects the classic themes of love and transformation. It's a narrative deeply rooted in the archetype of "forbidden love," where the characters defy celestial boundaries for their affection.
This story is a derivative tale based on the characters Zhu Bajie (Pigsy) and the Spider Spirit from *Journey to the West*. In the original *Journey to the West*, Zhu Bajie is the Heavenly Marshal Tianpeng, who was banished to the mortal world and reincarnated as a pig-headed, human-bodied creature after offending the goddess Chang'e. He later becomes one of Tang Sanzang's disciples, accompanying him, Sun Wukong, and others on a journey to retrieve Buddhist scriptures from the West.
In the story you described, there is a romantic subplot between Tianpeng and a maidservant of Taiyin Star Lord, who are all called Chang'e. Tianpeng accidentally catches the Jade Emperor and Taiyin Star Lord meeting in private. To protect his reputation, the Jade Emperor demotes Tianpeng to the mortal world. Obsessed with Tianpeng, Chang'e descends to earth and reincarnates as a Spider Spirit.
Zhu Bajie, now in the mortal world, mistakes a woman named Gao Cuilan for Chang'e and chases after her. Eventually, he travels west to Pansi Cave, where he encounters the reincarnated Chang'e (the Spider Spirit). She recognizes him as the one she has longed for, and they fall in love. Bajie places the Spider Spirit in the cave, and because she bears his daughter, she waits for him until she grows old. However, because of his earlier mistake with Gao Cuilan, the Spider Spirit says to Bajie before she dies, "You're still as foolish as before," indicating that Bajie, fearing punishment from the heavens, did not dare to acknowledge their relationship.
The Spider Spirit understands everything. To live long enough to see Bajie again, she absorbs one of the six paths of reincarnation, knowing it would lead to her death. She wanted to see Bajie and for him to meet their daughter. Although Bajie spoke harshly to her, she understood his intentions.
The Spider Spirit knew that she would die upon seeing Bajie again. Bajie, aware of everything, also realizes that the Spider Spirit understands his thoughts, but he has no choice. He can only say hurtful things, wanting to separate from his daughter to protect the Spider Spirit. But since she had already absorbed the essence that turned her into a demon destined to die, Bajie was powerless. Both Spider and Bajie, as ancient beings, fully comprehend each other's thoughts, yet they remain helpless and powerless against their tragic fate.
In the short film, there are three girls. The first one，her hair is shaped like bunny ears and a moon behind her, which is Chang'e (because Chang'e is the moon goddess and has a pet rabbit). The girl who gets bumped into is one of the Seven Fairy Maidens (a weaver. In the game, it is mentioned that seven spider spirits have occupied the place where the Seven Fairy Maidens bathe, actually implying that the Seven Fairy Maidens have turned into seven spider spirits. Spiders are skilled at weaving webs, which is why she knows Zhu Bajie. Additionally, Zhu Bajie has been pursuing girls in a place filled with cloth, hinting that the woman he loves is the Weaver Girl). The girl scared by Zhu Bajie is Miss Gao.
as a Chinese, I really want people to know that the reason he was cursed is he wanted chang'e at the very beginning, the Zizhuer, the spider lady was one of chang'e's slaves, also a small god (my English is not good, can't find a proper word), and she had a crush with Bajie. Cz Bajie is banished to the human world and transferred to a pig monster, Zizhuer decides to go with him and she just banishes herself to the human world. Before she goes to the human world she actually can decide what she can transfer to, so she asks: "what did he become?" and the answer is: "A pig". The pronunciation of "a pig" and "spider" are the same in Chinese, that's the reason why she became a spider in this life.
I'm trying to correct some information here:
- Bajie was a General in Celestial Palace.
- He liked the Moon Lady, and chased after her.
- One maid loved Bajie at the first sign.
- Moon Lady had forbidden love with 1 high-ranking god.
- High-ranking god cursed and banished Bajie to the mortal world to remove witness.
- The maid followed Bajie to the mortal world. However, the words "Pig" and "Spider" have the same pronunciation in Chinese.
- So The maid was transformed into a spider. Bajie was transformed into a pig because of mispronouncing.
- They only realized others when Bajie was helping Tang monk go west to find sutras. That was the only time they met in the mortal world, not as other people's explanation in the comment section. After that time, they had 1 child.
- Bajie always chased after girls because he was dumb, he confused one girl with another. So the maid never changes her hairstyle just for Bajie to realize her when they meet.
- Bajie left the girl twice, the first time when he went west to find sutras. The second time, when she died.
- Bajie cannot acknowledge them because if he did, the heavens would wipe out his wife and daughter.
Good explanation my bro
You can see the difference in the reaction of asian and western. I don't know why but the sad scene like that is always more touchable for Asian.
This segment of the ending cutscene from Black Myth: Wukong presents a tragic and complex love story involving Tian Peng (later known as Zhu Bajie) and the celestial figures in his past. Unlike traditional depictions, in this retelling, Tian Peng admires the Taiyin Star Lord (not the moon goddess Chang’e). Along his journey, he encounters a celestial maiden, one of the Taiyin Star Lord’s attendants, who holds the title "Chang’e" (since all of her attendants bear this title as an official rank, rather than as an individual name). It is this Chang’e who falls in love with Tian Peng.
Tian Peng's fate takes a sharp turn when he inadvertently stumbles upon a secret meeting between the Jade Emperor and the Taiyin Star Lord. Fearing that his reputation might be tarnished by this discovery, the Jade Emperor punishes Tian Peng by banishing him to the mortal world, where he is transformed into a pig demon.
The Chang’e attendant, unable to forget Tian Peng, sacrifices her immortality and descends to the mortal world, taking the form of a spider demon. She chooses this fate in order to be near him, knowing that it will lead to her eventual death.
When Zhu Bajie, now in his pig demon form, arrives at Gao Village, he mistakes a mortal woman named Gao Cuilan for his lost love, the Chang’e he remembers. Driven by his love and longing, he pursues her, but Gao Cuilan, terrified by Bajie's true form, rejects him. This mistaken identity deepens the tragedy of Bajie's emotional confusion.
As Zhu Bajie continues his journey westward, he eventually reaches the Pansi Cave, where he encounters the reincarnated Chang’e, now in the form of the Spider Demon. She immediately recognizes Bajie despite his pig-headed form. The two fall in love once again, and she gives birth to his daughter. However, due to her absorbing one of Bajie’s six roots (spiritual senses), her fate is sealed, and she knows that her death is inevitable. She chooses to stay with him until the end, waiting in the cave, hoping to show him their daughter.
Before her death, the Spider Demon poignantly remarks, “You’re still as foolish as before.” This statement refers not only to Bajie’s earlier mistake in confusing Gao Cuilan with her, but also to his reluctance to acknowledge their daughter and their love out of fear of retribution from the Heavenly Court. The Spider Demon understands that Bajie’s denial is his way of protecting them from the inevitable consequences of divine punishment.
Though Bajie is harsh towards her in their final moments, both he and the Spider Demon understand the emotional undercurrents beneath their words. Bajie knows that acknowledging his love for her would bring ruin upon them, and his cold words are an attempt to sever ties for their safety. Nevertheless, the Spider Demon knows that Bajie still cares for her and their daughter, and she accepts her fate. In her final moments, the Spider Demon dies with the knowledge that she has seen Bajie one last time.
The entire exchange is a bittersweet reflection of their doomed love. Both Zhu Bajie and the Spider Demon are ancient beings who understand each other's hearts without needing to say much. Their final conversation, despite its apparent harshness, reveals the depth of their love and the helplessness of their situation. The tragic reality is that they are both bound by the rules of the celestial and mortal realms, and their love, though powerful, is not enough to overcome these constraints.
The closing lines of their exchange also carry symbolic weight. The Spider Demon, in a wordplay on “spider” and “pig,” says, “You know what Tian Peng reincarnated as? He became a pig. Then I shall become a spider.” This reflects their inevitable, cyclical fates, predetermined by the heavens. Despite their deep connection, fate has written them into roles where they are destined never to truly be together, like a pair where one spins webs while the other is caught in them. This imagery ties into the ancient ideal of “man plows, woman weaves,” a metaphor for the domestic, agricultural harmony that is unattainable for them in their tragic love story.
此刻已成藝術
Basically, Bajie (the pig) used to an admiral of the heaven who was in charge of the river of heaven, who was punished for being obsessed with Chang’E (the girl with white hair) by Jade Emperor, who exiled him to the mortal realm and made him a pig guai.
Then Bajie went on the journey with the gang and arrived the Webbed Hollow (location in Chapter 4), where they met a bunch of spider guai (who were also once celestial being like Bajie, hence why you see Bajie bumped into that girl early in the cutscene) . Simply put, the gang wiped the cave but Bajie was sympathetic and didn’t kill the youngest one (of course they also had some entanglement), who was the Violet Spider.
The story from the game can be pretty much caught on from there.
The face model of violet spider is the actress who played character Chang'E in TV series《Journey to the West》 which was produced in 1986.
So some Chinese players round 30-50 age recognized her.
6:35 Bajie means he is a ugly and horrible yaoguai now, no that admiral anymore. And that spider lady means, it's Okay, I'm no longer that Chang'e; now I'm just as ugly and horrible yaoguai too. This time we can stay together. Wonderful love story.
Girl: “bro.. you didn’t even cry when we watched the Titanic. When was the last time you cried?”
Me: “yesterday.”
Girl: “wait.. what made you cry?”
*Me:*
Okay, 3 different girls appeared. The first girl, who got chest bumped by Piggy, is the Spider Mother as you known, identifiable by the three petals on her forehead. At that moment, she was a goddess in celestial court, and fell in love with Piggy at her first sight. But, the piggy mysteriously left her without further interaction.
Next, Piggy encounters Chang'e, the second girl, who is dating with the Jade Emperor, secretively. Immediately, Piggy is exiled by the Jade Emperor and falls to the ground, where he meets the 3rd girl, who has no petals on her forehead. He starts chasing her, but as he gradually transforms into a pig-faced creature, he frightens her away.
Someday, Piggy goes to a river and sees a group of girls bathing. He approaches the most beautiful one as a pig-faced fish, not realizing she is actually the Spider Mother, the first girl in this story. But the girl recognizes him immediately, Why? Because Piggy is the reason why she choose to leave the celestial court and came to the ground. This explains why the girl wasn't afraid of his pig-like face at all, and immediately removed her clothes.
Why she became a spider? Because while searching for Piggy, someone told her that he had turned into a "piece of pig" during the exile. The phrase I quoted, "piece of pig," sounds exactly like the word for "spider" in Chinese, leading the girl to believe she could transform into the same creature as him. "他变成了只猪", so "她也选择变成蜘蛛". The end.
thats so heartbreaking wow
No, the last quote is just a joke, about the pronunciation of a pig and spider are similar in Chinese. The reason why she became a spider spirit is unknown, only the reason of why she gave up her immortality is given, she loved Bajie and even he got exile she still pursue him.
@@darkminion2720 don’t be so sure🤣me neither. If she is a butterfly, we can save the argument for sure😅
The "Chang'e" you mentioned is actually "Taiyin star lord", overlord of the Moon.
0:15 She has that distinct look.
"Chang'e" is a title for all the girls working under lord Taiyin. The girl that Pippy bumped into is the Spider girl when she still worked as Chang'e under the Moon Lord.
The last bit about the homophone gag is just a joke made up by the fans. Don't treat it as a design/plot of the story.

Zhu bajie fall in love with the moon princess chang'e.but chang'e was having an affair with the jade Emperor(the guys with white hair) having witness this the jade Emperor basically punished zhu bajie by cast him out of the celestial court.
The girl who zhu bajie bump is a celestial court maid she fall in love to him,the news of zhu bajie banishment to Earth broken her heart so she follows him to Earth to him
Man thats so crazy his whole appearance was ruined because of that one glimpse
Chang e was the one that turned into spider demon, that white hair lady was the moon goddess
@@PlangPlangers How come only rabbits and moons appear when you search Chang e what do you search for spider lady
@@FXRainthis is the game version. Since game is like god of war, the jade emperor and Buddha is the real enemies in this wukong version
@@MrLeonLuffythis game version chang e is a title for maid
In the rest of the Journey to the West, Bajie is either the inciting incident or the comic relief. But he’s such a tragic figure here. This recontextualized my entire viewpoint on his character.
藝術感表現超強！神作確認！4:16這首歌配上這月光畫面，浪漫哭了！美哭了！3:10左上方連老外都被感動哭了！6:58太神了！老外看後真的哭了！幾個大男人都在哭了！全世界都為嫦娥登月淒美的愛情故事感動哭了！連老外都哭了！國產之光！絕對是神作！太自豪了！
没必要，艺术是全体人类的。好的东西自然发光
别盲目自信了。单靠那个开局是看不懂的。
The presentation in this game is world class. amazing animation, very touching. Completed this game multiple times and its a god damn masterpiece.
From the cutscene, we can gather the following about Bajie's character and his journey:
1. Obsessive Pursuit of Love: Bajie is known for his relentless pursuit of love, often mistaking physical attraction for genuine affection.
2. Infatuation with Chang'e: His immediate infatuation with Chang'e, the Moon Goddess, demonstrates his superficial approach to love.
3. During his pursuit, he inadvertently meets Chang'e's handmaiden, forming an initial connection.
4. However, his desire for Chang'e overpowers his connection with the handmaiden. He walks away from the handmaiden to pursue Chang'e.
5. After accidentally discovering Chang'e's secret love affair with the Jade Emperor, Bajie is banished to Earth as punishment.
6. As a human, he marries a girl, but his punishment prevents him from ever experiencing true love. To ensure this, he is transformed into a hideous pig demon.
7. Throughout his life, Bajie's pursuit of love has been met with constant rejection due to his hideous pig form.
8. Fast forward to the story of Journey to the West, while traveling with Wukong and his companions, Bajie encounters a group of spider demons bathing.
9. One of the spider demons turns out to be Chang'e's handmaiden, whom Bajie recognizes from their previous encounter. The handmaiden recognizes Bajie immediately despite he transformed into fish with a pig face indicating the love the handmaiden has for Bajie is true.
10. When Bajie reveals his pig demon form, the handmaiden remains undeterred. Assuring Bajie that she does not mind, she also turns into her demon form indicating her acceptance to Bajie's demon form. It is also implied that she has also come to Earth in search of him, possibly motivated by a misunderstanding about his transformation i.e. spider and pig share the same sound in Chinese.
11. The flashback reveals the handmaiden's hardships as a spider demon, emphasizing the enduring nature of her love for Bajie.
12. Realization and Regret: Bajie's tears at the end suggest that he has finally realized the folly of his past actions and the value of true love.
It's remarkable how a brief clip can encapsulate such a poignant love story for a comedic character like Bajie. It's a testament to the depth and complexity that video games can offer, challenging the notion that they are solely for children.
1. Chang’e is actually the title of all the servants of the Moon Goddess.
2. I like that the flashbacks are also layered as well, Chang’e pursuit for love slowly turn her into a spider yao guai from her initial Godly presence, in contrast to Bajie slowly turning from a hideous pig monster to a human, signifies his growth of enlightenment throughout Journey to the West, acknowledging his love for Chang’e, and ready to let go.
Thank you for including Singsing. That man deserves to be in these reaction compilations.
No problem and I agree
bajie was once a Grand marshal in the Palace of Heaven. The woman he likes is Chang 'e, which is the white-haired woman in the animation. Chang 'e's husband was an ancient human hero. For his heroic deeds, the Jade Emperor awarded him an elixir that would give him eternal life. It was then eaten by Chang 'e alone and was punished by the Jade Emperor to live on the cold moon forever.
Yes, although Chang 'e looked like a cold bitch, bajie still loved her and often peeped at Chang 'e. Chang 'e's maid, the young spider lady then falls in love with this grand marshal（bajie） at first sight. Until he came across the affair between the Jade Emperor and Chang 'e, and discovered that the Jade Emperor punished her to live in the lonely moon palace just to keep her secret. As a result, Bajie was punished by the Jade Emperor and turned into a pig Yaoguai.
The Spider Lady and her six other sisters were also punished since sunwukong stole the peach they were watching over. But she was happy because it gave her a chance to meet bajie again and she felt that they were finally equal.
Then we enter the plot of Journey to the West, bajie turns into a catfish, harassing the bathing spider Yaoguais. He was instantly recognized by the Spider Lady as the former Grand Marshal. After experiencing some series of events, all yaoguai were killed by Sun Wukong. bajie secretly saved Lady Spider's life.
It is worth explaining that in fact, four people in the West journy team were executed prisoners, and the western tour was originally an impossible task. According to the agreement, if they did complete such a journey, their previous SINS would be erased and they would become Buddhas. Then through the plot of the game we know that even if they become Buddhas, heaven will still find trouble for the four of them. This is why bajie dare not be with the spider lady, because he knows that heaven has not really spared him, he is afraid of involving the Spider Lady's family.
Not really, the white hairded woman is lunar star lordess(tai-yin xing jun), chang'e is her servant
Also the pittle Spider adaemon girl has a pair of piggy ears in human form which implies that she is ZHU Ba-Jie and Violet Spider daemon Lady’s daughter
@@jeffpen4622 the white haired woman is either taiyin xingjun or chang'e, depends on who you think the moon goddess is, but in the original story, she's chang'e. Whoever the moon goddess is, the spider is not chang'e. Chang'e is literally the reason why he's turned into a pig in the original
@@privategaming2105What you are watching should be the TV version of Journey to the West. The moon goddess in the novel is also the taiyin xingjun.
This game is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've played in my life.
"Dari dulu begitulah cinta, deritanya tiada akhir"
Man I love when they call the group: the boys, the gang, the homies.
basically the game Wukong evolves around karma and immortality
cant wait for Wukong 2025 , battle against Goddess of Heavenly Gates
They absolutely killed it with the music in this game. It's just beautiful
Piggy was a general in the Celestial heavens but his lustful behaviour offended the Jade Emperor and was cast down to Earth as a pig.
I love how they used that montage of pictures of Violet Spider and Bajie to show how different two of them’s mindsets changed.
Violet Spider started from normal and slowly became twisted and obsessed because how their love never ended well in each reincarnation.
Bajie slowly recovered from being banished and turned back to normal.
No one could smile after watching this 😢
I'm crying so much now that my throat and eyes are hurt😭😭
I smiled and cried at the same time.
Imagine being reborn always to find true love only to always loose it every time
this is what i wanted :") tks u so much
You are very welcome 🙂
Black Myth Wukong evolves around the spirit of Buddhism - Karma
NOTHING COULD EVER LEAVES THE PLANET - IT HAS TO BE IN A CYCLE
I like Bajie，Bajie represents humanity among the four master and apprentices in journey to the west.
that's a patkai
true
Bajie was damned to experience heartbreak in 9000 lives in the original story.
The beginning of the story is when Zhu Bajie was a fairy, holding the position of Marshal Tianpeng, commanding the heavenly army and generals. After seeing the goddess of the moon, Zhu Bajie fell in love with her. During the pursuit, he bumped into the fairy Chang'e. In Journey to the West, Chang'e is a position, not a specific person, and the Chang'e that Zhu Bajie bumped into was Zi Zhu'er, who fell in love with Bajie. Later, Bajie collided with a private meeting between the gods and the moon goddess, which was not allowed, so he was punished to the mortal world. The first woman he met in the mortal world was Gao Cuilan, who was once Bajie's wife, but changed her mind when she saw that Bajie was a pig. This also laid the foundation for the future when Zi Zhu'er and Bajie were both monsters. Bajie arrived at Pansi Cave and saw Zizhu'er taking a bath. (This is interpreted as meaning that after Zhu Bajie was punished to the mortal world, Zizhu'er wanted to find him and asked someone else. They said Bajie was reincarnated as a pig【只zhi猪zhu】, and Zizhu'er thought it was a spider【蜘zhi蛛zhu】, so she also descended to the mortal world and became a spider. The cost of doing so was losing her immortal position and eternal life.) Bajie turned into a catfish and jumped into the water, which also laid the foundation for their children later on, because in Chinese idioms, the joy of fish and water means a matter between men and women. After Bajie and Purple Spider fell in love, the four masters and disciples came to Pansi Cave again. Sun Wukong ordered Bajie to kill seven spider spirits, but Bajie did not hurt the killer, but saved Purple Spider's life. Purple Spider survived against the sisters's corpse until the time line in the game. In the end, in the game, Bajie kept denying his relationship with Purple Zhu'er and their children, because the Bull Demon King was involved first. Zhu Bajie knew that if he confessed, Purple Zhu'er and her children would be chased by the Heavenly Court, and the Bull Demon King and several Spider Spirits could not resist. In the end, even Bajie didn't dare to admit that Zizhu'er had died. Instead, he silently left two elixirs in front of Zizhu'er's tomb, one to save her life and the other to make her face last forever. This is the background of love in the game.
Zhu Bajie was originally Marshal Tianpeng, but he was demoted to the lower realm after he encountered Chang'e having a private meeting with the Jade Emperor. After hearing the news, the palace maid volunteered to go to the lower world to find him and turned into a spider spirit, so the palace maid was a spider spirit. Later, the two recognized each other, fell in love, and became pregnant with a child. But Bajie could only cut off the relationship in order to learn the scriptures, but he also spared their lives because of his soft heart. After this incident, Spider Spirit has been waiting hard for Bajie's return until he is old. Later, after Bajie achieved Zhengguo, he met her again and saw the child, but Bajie could not recognize her because if the superiors knew about it, the child's life would be in danger, so Bajie was also protecting them in his own way.
At first, Bajie mistakenly recognized the person, thinking that the first girl he saw was the palace maid, but he didn't know that he scared her away. Later in the game, the old palace maid said to Bajie before she died: "You are still stupid." This means that not only did Bajie recognize the wrong palace maid, but now he cannot recognize his own child.
This also represents two ways of treating love
Palace Maid: For you, I can abandon everything, leave my comfort zone, wait for hundreds of years, and it doesn’t matter if I become a monster.
Zhu Bajie: I can endure everything for you, even if we don’t recognize each other, even if we don’t meet, it’s all to protect you. As long as you can live, that's enough.
Many people say they can't understand the Eight Precepts and the Spider Spirit: the details are that the Eight Precepts admired the Star King of Taiyin (not Chang'e), and the maid they bumped into on the road was Chang'e (Chang'e is an official position, and all of the Star King of Taiyin's attendants are called Chang'e). The Jade Emperor and the Star King of Tai Yin had a private meeting with the canopy, and were relegated to the mortal world. This Chang'e couldn't forget the canopy and descended to the mortal world to become a spider spirit. And was relegated to the eight ring in the high old village saw high Cuilan thought it was Chang E chased up, who knows high Cuilan saw the real body of the eight ring scared to death, westbound to the Pansi Cave, reincarnation of the purple spider at once recognized the heart of the pig's head, the two fell in love with each other, the eight ring is also in the robbery released the purple spider, the purple spider has a daughter of the eight ring has been waiting for the eight ring until the old age. Also because of that time to recognize the wrong person, purple spider before dying said that, you are still as stupid as before (refers to recognize the wrong person), also refers to the old pig do not dare to recognize them for fear of heaven liquidation.
Strong as his own Monkey, also killed by the Heavenly Court.
Bull Demon King, cut off a side of the powerful, just a little bit of relationship with the Heavenly Orders people, will be broken families and wives scattered.
How could the tiny Pansi Cave withstand the Heavenly Court? The Eight Precepts do not have the skills of the Big Brother, nor are they as powerful as the King Bull Demon.
If you don't turn back you can't love you, if you turn back you will be harmed. So the Eight Precepts disown her, they can't.
The eight rings has insisted on helping the heavenly orders people, even if it fails, but also only need to pay their own lives, will not involve their loved ones again, lifting this breath can give you love, is to let go.
He was cursed because he was of the Heavenly Court, a divine being, who wasn't supposed to fall in love with another divine being.
The female divine being was cursed as well....later....and turned into a spider.
This scne tell us this game is love letter for the one know the story, without word and text exposition, we can see some different takes about this scne and for the one know the story it have deep meaning behind this story pig and spider
Zhu Bajie was originally the Tianpeng Marshal who commanded 80,000 Tianhe sailors in the heavenly court. Because he saw the moon god and Chang'e's private meeting, he was demoted to earth and turned into a pig by mistake.
So sad.
Thanks for video!
Thank you for watching 🙏
A little story from the art scene :
Bajie is a general in the sky, he really loves the moon goddess, and when he was chasing the moon goddess he hit Chang e, but Bajie's love was one-sided, he caught the sky emperor having an affair with the moon goddess, because only Bajie knew about the affair, Bajie was thrown away to earth by the emperor of heaven and was cursed to become a pig demon, because Chang e really loved Bajie, Chang E followed Bajie to earth and Chang E was cursed to become a spider demon, and when on earth they immediately recognized each other and actually they could live happy, but the sky didn't allow it, Bajie was assigned journey to the west with Wukong, and the worst thing was that the sky made all the demons become evil and they had to be destroyed during the journey to west, and finally Bajie had to face Chang E until he died.
Makes me cry everytime I see it...😔
Especially 3:06
Yeah its sad indeed 😢
Same here 😢
SAME AS HEEERE! I don't know why because I'm from HK, piggy and spirder story has been listen many many times, but still wanna cry when see this part of animation
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
The people who love you will always love you, no matter what you become. This is the resonance of the people you love. I cried several times when I saw this.
This animation is an antecedent of the relationship between the old spider lady and Bajie in the game, and should be understood in 3 parts.
Part 1: Bajie, a simpleton commander of the celestial palace fell into unilateral love for the Goddess of the Moon. In his blind pursuit, he accidentally pumped into a maid, who fell in love for Bajie. But Bajie did not know about it. In his pursuit for love, he accidentally found out that the Goddess of Moon was dating the celestial emperor. The celestial emperor, to punish Bajie, banished him to earth and turned him into a boar demon.
Part 2: Bajie found himself in a cloth making factory, where he met a human beauty. He went through the hung clothes (symbolizing obstacles) to pursuit that lady, who also liked Bajie. But when Bajie went through all obstacles to reach that lady, he could not help but revealed his boar demon state (just like a werewolf involuntarily revealing itself under the full moon) and it scared the lady. So the pursuit of love by Bajie failed again.
Part 3. Bajie joined Wukong and Sha Seng to escort their master to the West. On the way, Bajie saw a bunch of ladies taking a bath in a lake. Being a love-stricken boar, he turned himself into a fish to take a peep. Those ladies were in fact spider demons. One of them was the maid which was ran into by Bajie in the celestial court mentioned in Part 1. As she had fell in love with Bajie, which is forbidden in the celestial court, she was also banished to earth and turned into a spider demon by the celestial emperor. When she saw the fish, she immediately recognized it as Bajie. When Bajie revealed his state as a boar demon, she also revealed herself in spider form and informed Bajie the reason why she was there. They fell in love and copulated. As the other spider demons tried to harm the master, they were defeated by Wukong and Bajie. However, Bajie spared the life of the spider lady and, sadly, went on to the western journey leaving the spider lady behind because he knew that their love affairs would attract the wrath of the celestial emperor if revealed.
In this game, the spider lady had actually waited for Bajie for hundreds of years as she grew old. When Bajie arrived, she tried to keep Bajie there by threatening to kill him if he did not comply. But Bajie refused. And it was then that the spider lady showed Bajie that they had a daughter. At the end of this episode, the spider lady was fatally wounded. Bajie however knew that he had to deny his relationship with the spider lady and his daughter to protect the daughter from being exterminated as the relationship given to her birth was in breach of the celestial rules. That explains why Bajie was holding back his tears when he turned away from the dying spider lady and his daughter, and at the same time the spider lady called out "You are just as stupid" before she died, knowing that Bajie, in making all the hurtful denials, was trying to protect their daughter.

Talking about "Inclusivity and Diversity", how often do you see a Spider falls in love with a Pig. 😂
I love how everyone goes from laughing to silence real quick.
Thank you for featuring meeeee 😊
No problem, I should’ve asked for your permission though, at the time I was just trying to pump out these videos, sorry in advance 😂
AYO BINGS!
To put it plainly, you are a department manager at your company, and an unassuming young woman from another department unexpectedly falls in love with you. The boss's secretary is quite beautiful, yet you find yourself drawn to her. One day, you stumble upon an affair between the boss and the secretary, and the boss recognizes you. Upon returning to the office, the boss dismisses you. Undeterred, the young woman from the other department resigns to pursue you. What follows is a love story that unfolds in various stages between you and this young woman.
Everyone look so souless when they don't know anything about Journey of the west...
Bottom right doesnt understand at all. Bajie sees his love turning into a spider and suffering because the Celestial court does not want them together, and she sees through the pig to the man she fell in love with. The man wants the pain of their love to end for her sake, and the woman is holding on the hope
Journey To The West and this game makes me think Heaven in Chinese mythology isn't so heavenly.
That's why it called Black Myth
A brief summary: Chinese gods are a metaphor for ancient Chinese rulers (upper elites), while monsters are a metaphor for people who have abilities, talents, and free thoughts but no strong backers. Hell is a metaphor for the poorest people at the bottom who are exploited, abused, and enslaved. The demon world refers to a failed group that has certain forces that want to resist. The gods in the West are used for personal worship
Moreover, the Chinese have never said anything about heaven. That is the immortal world. (In ancient China, only good emperors and Taoist cultivators could become immortals.) Ordinary people cannot become immortals.
lol it is a novel based on mythologies and use it to show real world issues such as greed/power abuse/oppression. The whole idea Wukong is popular is he is the symbol of rebellion against authority and oppression. The actual mythologies might be different. In general mythologies mostly are created by people either to explain things that can not be explained at the time or to express the things they are not allowed to openly express. Oriental or west it ia all the same mostly.
well the original author for the book in the 16th century was working inside the palace, in the court itself, and wrote it as an allegory to the harshness of the palace court, its politics, and the corrupt and greedy authorities he worked for. he was tired and weary about having to deal with them and their malicious ways just to gain power.
Really happy that more and more people can discover this superb game, and especially, can understand them
The pronunciation of pig in Chinese rhymes with spider. So the fairy went down to earth and was reincarnated as a spider, 1 day in heaven is 7 years on earth or less. The fairy waited 200 years to meet him, and they gave birth to a child. Because of their fate, they were separated, so at the end of the game, bajie turned away to avoid the sky man from killing his son. How boring, 200 years of reincarnation, 10 years of being husband and wife, 100 years of waiting again. Sigh
If you know the whole background of this lovestory, its very touching
中國古代人對愛情嘅期盼-----，無奈地當那時那刻找不著😢，不論用好幾次輪迴去找尋------也想將這份愛情掌握於手裏❤
The song is Riot Games level of goodness. Damn they pull this off so nicely.
