Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West were two different novels, so there were differences in character setting and plot development. In the Investiture of the Gods, Yang Jian and Nezha were both gods with three heads and six arms, possessing extremely strong strength and ability. Their performances in the story were relatively similar. They had experienced many difficulties and dangers and received help from everyone. Therefore, the two people on the Investiture of the Gods had similar appearances. However, the images of Yang Jian and Nezha in Journey to the West were different. Nezha was the crown prince of the gods. He had extremely strong strength and ability, and he was also one of the more arrogant immortals. In contrast, Yang Jian was a mortal. Through his own efforts and courage, he became one of the immortals. He also experienced many setbacks and tribulations in the story and showed his indomitable spirit and firm belief. Therefore, the two characters in Journey to the West were quite different. Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West also had different story backgrounds and settings, which also affected the image of the characters and the development of the plot.

The Taoist question was about Nezha, Yang Jian, and others. They were all fictional in the novel of Investiture of the Gods, so there were no immortals in reality, right?

1 answer

Nezha, Yang Jian and other fictional characters were fictional characters in the Romance of the Gods, but they were actually immortals that existed in Chinese Taoism. Taoism was one of the ancient religions in China, and it believed in a series of immortals and gods. In Taoism, different gods had different positions and functions, such as the Jade Emperor, the Three Pure Dao Ancestors, the South Pole Immortal Weng, and the Grand Supreme Lord. In Taoism, these gods had extraordinary powers and abilities to control the elements of nature and the fate of mankind. Although the Investiture of the Gods was a novel, it also reflected the society and culture of ancient China, so it had a corresponding existence in Taoism. For example, Nezha was one of the famous gods in Taoism. He was believed to be Marshal Tianpeng, Demon King Huntian, etc. He had extraordinary strength and ability to cast various spells and divine powers. Therefore, although Nezha, Yang Jian and other novel characters are fictional, they have corresponding existences in Taoism. Their existence and functions have certain connections and explanations with the descriptions in the novels.

Yes, Chinese mythology was a little different. Yang Jian was described in Investiture of the Gods as a person during the Zhaoge period, but there was no mention of how he was apotheosized in his mythical story. In other mythical stories, such as Journey to the West, Yang Jian became a god after being apotheosized.
