I thought it was about a story of greed but by the end it was for vindication. The turtle knew that the village was suffering and instead of freeing them of their suffering he made them suffer more all to win a bet that humans are evil. He did not win. Only made an example.

[@SchwarzeSun]

I feel like I'm missing something, how did he make them suffer more? how could he have quickly ended their suffering?

[@shouayang6518]

@@SchwarzeSun In Buddha teaching life is a cycle of suffering and rebirth. If you do bad things you become poor as punishment in your next life or become an animal in the next afterlife. If you do good you go higher in the cycle. Because he made them crave for greed and because he played with their greed he sent them too damnation. Therefore the village was abandoned and in a much worse state when he died.

[@rosesweetcharlotte]

​@@SchwarzeSunIn the myth, he also used his powers to storms to the village and essentially wreck their whole economy before he even got there. Then when he did get there, instead of giving them better fishing techniques or teaching them how to build better boats or create better medicine, he quickly made then dependent on him and his magic. Of course the humans were going to go crazy after all that. Had their village not been ruined already, they likely wouldn't have been so desperate.

He picked a poor fishing village to test. 1. When he was rescued by fishermen, they already knew he is not human, but rescued him anyway. 2. When rescued, he can’t wait to show fishermen that he has golds and pearls under his skins. Yet, the villagers didn’t kill him. 3. Instead villagers worshipped him, sent him tributes, built temples. It’s “fair trade” 4. Official and monks didn’t take the treasures themselves. They hire someone to dispense them fairly. 5. When that one villager was lured, officials first reaction was to stop him and other mobs. They were trying to maintain orders. Humankind has proven lots of time that they are not greedy nor heartless, but Huang Mei only needs to win once. If one means to test the hardness of something, one will break it eventually. Don’t push humanity to limit.

The story is more than just about the human greed. Disclaim: :this is just a fiction developed based off Journey to the West, not actually related to religion. Jin Chanzi the monk=>the previous incarnation of Tang SanZang Turtle spirit=>the previous incarnation of Yellow Brow, and the turtle wasn’t his true form. He just temporarily appeared as turtle. The monk and the turtle, they were Dharma brothers practicing Buddhism under the same lineage. That’s why the monk called him 师兄(Shi Xiong/Senior Brother) in the Chinese dub. They had differing views over human nature and the turtle believed that humans were inherently evil (humans are evil by nature->therefore they will turn greedy and have bad deed eventually), and the turtle had very twisted obsession to win the debate. To prove himself right, he descended into the mortal realm and appeared as a giant turtle, purposely letting the impoverished villagers capture him. Then he started showing off his super natural powers including healing, secreting pearls, granting youth and beauty, fishing from sea using water bending etc. Being plagued with poverty for so long, the impoverished villagers started insanely worshipping him as the Buddha’s avatar (which is a lie and going against Buddha’s teaching). The insatiable desires grew as much as the lives of the people there were bettered. Instead of offering guidance and teaching people to grow wiser and be self-resilient, the giant turtle intentionally gave them the easy way out and cultivated their greed and made them heavily dependent on him. At the end, the villagers lost their sanity as he expected. And he proudly said to his junior brother Jin Chanzi that he won the debate and proved that humans were simply evil. Jin Chanzi criticised him for “ inverting the consequence and cause” i.e. creating a desired consequence and to prove his own belief of the existence of an evil nature within man. Ps: [祸乱人心, 倒果为因 / sowing misguidance among people to cause chaos, inverting the consequence and cause] is the original line in the Chinese dub got translated as “ choose means over ends”

It is wrong to say human is inherently kind, and same goes to "evilness". That also goes back to the Buddhist believes -- 1.all sentient beings (including human) are malleable and there is single inherent nature to it. Not kindness not evilness. 2.unelightened sentient beings are constantly involved in process of reincarnation and undergoing different life forms depending on their karma, like going back n forth btw human, youguai, celestial beings (like the Yellow Brow himself), animals, bugs or suffering souls in hell etc. so there is no reason to discriminate any of them. 3. Not only undergoing different life forms, uneligtened ones also uncontrollably undergo states of being kind/evil depending on their karmic habits and cycles. Good people can go evil, vice versa. Because there is simply no fixed nature in sentient beings. The Yellow Brow has no reasons to justify his discrimination against man. Buddhas don't just naturally exist as Buddhas from the start. They, like Jin Chanzi or Yellow Brow or the villagers, were also once wandering souls in the universe. And after eons of being good and bad, some of the souls begin to seek ways to ascend beyond mortal. And after eons of attempts, they find the way. Then after eons of cultivation, they are fully enlightened. That Yellow Brow rigged the situation to justify his view is just sheer ignorance and arrogance. Or pathetic like what Jin Chanzi said.

Jin Chanzi won this debate.Yellow Brow presented a terrifying appearance and intentionally exposed the jewelry inside, but people did not kill him and even enshrined him, establishing rules. These kindness, He pretended didn't exist, intentionally guided someone to break the rules, and then he say, 'Humans are really evil.'. In fact, without the concept of kindness, there would be no concept of evil. Someone first established the rules of kindness and expected people to abide by them. Only those who break the rules are called evil. If the rules did not exist from the beginning, they could not be broken. All humans follow instincts like wild lions and elephants. You won't judge an elephant as evil, you won't judge a baby as evil.

[@dutchmilk]

concept of kindness, there would be no concept of evil - this is a western ideology. Do not be confused it with Buddhism or Daoism. Buddhism speak plainly about cause and effect, not good or evil. Daoism speak about the way of "nature". Think you are confused good and evil with Yin and Yang.

it is more like salvation and suffering when it comes to Buddhism. Yellowbrow was arguing with Jinchanzi whether humanity deserved salvation. He rigged his experiment to show that humanity deserved suffering, while Jinchanzi took his journey to prove the opposite.

He made it nearly impossible for them to win, choosing an impoverished place and instead of teaching them anything that could better them, lavishing them with excessive wealth and fortune

[@crosschannel1728]

Yellow brow reversed the logics of karma, he wants to prove human are greedy, which is the result he wants to prove. But Jin Chanzi claimed the greeds among human are actually the reason and cause, instead of result. Yellow brow used the greeds of human to achieve the result he wants to prove.This is like a scenario that you are going to find a problem when you already know the answer. With out yellow brow’s involvement, those civilians are probably not going to devoured by greeds.

[@hisousihou]

A fishing village so poor it faces famine, yet when they catch prey, they don't divide it on the spot but bring it back to share with everyone in the village-this is the first good deed. Seeing treasure inside a monster and not immediately killing it to split the wealth-this is the second good deed. Accepting the monster's gifts, they know to show gratitude and even create an idol to worship-this is the third good deed. The wealth they receive isn’t hoarded by the ruling class but is shared among all the villagers-this is the fourth good deed. Despite all these good deeds, YellowBrow still nudges those with greed, and yet the soldiers’ first reaction is to maintain order, and the monks still chant in hopes of repentance. And YellowBrow still thinks he’s won? Isn’t that ridiculous? Is it really fair to make the simplistic and harsh conclusion that humans are inherently greedy? On the Chinese internet, the process of attaining Buddhahood is often compared to writing a thesis to earn a PhD. YellowBrow frequently fabricates data, violating academic integrity, which is why he isn’t recognized by others. YellowBrow: Looks like I've won again this time. Jin Chanzi: Senior brother, you've fabricated data for your thesis again, haven't you?

[@ivanzhang7314]

On the surface, this story tells of humans killing giant turtles that constantly bestow their wealth on them because of their greed for wealth.But the final outcome reveals a deeper meaning of this story. The old turtle is Huangmei's reincarnation, who deliberately lured humans with wealth to make them obtain without effort in order to prove that human nature is greedy and cannot be changed for good through Buddhist teachings.From the very beginning, he deliberately adopted means to stimulate people's inner greed in order to prove his theory was correct. It is similar to the story of shooting an arrow first and then drawing a target. So this story is not about human greed like the first one, but about Huangmei's obsession. He did everything he could to prove himself right to Jinchanzi, which corresponds to the Buddhist concept of obsession as one of the three poisons.(The first story corresponds to greed, and the second story corresponds to anger) In detail, you can see that when the person who took a knife to hurt the old turtle made his first move, his collar was pulled forward. At the same time, the eyes of the old turtle glowed, suggesting that he was casting a spell and manipulating the first person to harm himself in order to lure others into action.Meanwhile, in the subsequent scene where he falls dead, if you reverse the camera and look at it, you can see that his mouth is tilted up when he dies, smiling because he firmly believes that he has won again.

[@licstruggle]

Comment from a Chinese player: Huang Mei's animation is impossible to 'lose' at all. He was caught and immediately showed that he had jewelry in his flesh and blood. The soldiers didn't kill him, so he didn't think it was good. He showed kindness to the poor and weak, but they did not ask for more. Instead, they showed gratitude and offered sacrifices to him, which he did not consider good. Later, ordinary people established systems centered around him and even began to share wealth with more poor and weak people, but he did not consider it a good thing. Finally, a greedy person arrived, and he couldn't wait to pull that person over. In the end, it resulted in bad consequences, and he was finally satisfied. Human nature finally became evil, and he finally won. that called "Confuse people's minds and turn the fruit into the cause“- from Jinchanzi

Even the first thief, initially drawn as sensible, would throw away all self-preservation for the chance at prosperity. Anyone would.

The understanding barrier is high not only in terms of academic level but also of life experience. That is why majority of people can’t and wont learn from the history as well as philosophies. In nowadays academic sphere, the western way of doing academics made ideas open for understanding, criticizing, developing, and more importantly, spreading.

They put these creatures in a unnatural situation and expected them to act naturally, it mirrors someone specifically pressuring and annoying one person, barraging them with insults, and then calling them violent and threatening to call the cops after they punch you in the face. But in this case it's more like a type of grooming. If you want to show how humanity or mortals are evil, then you have to show a situation created by themselves.

They weren't poor, just dressed in their casual clothes. In the previous scene at the temple they all have fancy clothes. The villagers had managed to create an organized and sustainable system that evenly distributed the pearls that Yellowbrow produced so he wouldn't have to cut himself too much and everyone got their needs covered. This had the potential to stay like that forever with everyone living happily which is why Yellowbrow had to shit all over it and force the outcome with magic.

Some might argue that Yellowbrow provoked the villagers into killing him to prove that human nature is inherently evil, and to some extent, I agree. However, that doesn't absolve the villagers of guilt. When Yellowbrow revealed the treasure beneath his flesh, the villagers refrained from harming him and instead worshipped him. Was this out of fear of his power, greed for more blessings, or simply respect? Yet, once one man injured him, no one intervened to stop the violence; instead, they all joined the mob. This moment not only unleashed their greed but also made them realize that even a god can be vulnerable. In the end, neither the villagers nor Yellowbrow can be seen as truly innocent.

Buddhism emphasizes this idea of "nothingness" and how only thru nothingness can one escape the cycle of life and death. That's the true meaning of this story. Yellowbrow did an experiment try to prove humans greedy, yet by doing the experiment, Yellowbrow himself fell into the cycle of life and death, winning and losing. If yellowbrow had really achieved nothingness, he would not have conducted the experiment, and the villagers would not have destroyed themselves with greed, and lived peacefully through their lives. So, the irony is the more yellowbrow tried to prove himself, the more unqualified he was at Buddhahood.

I find this short story fascinating firstly the people of this village are poor and starving and at first it looks like they may have put him on a pyre and were about too burn him either too cook him for food or because they may have though he was a evil creature bringing them misfortune but in that moment he lures them in with treasure, youth, food and other miracles but if you look closly these only mask his intentions. He crates a waterspout too give food but it also destroys some boats removing their independence and creating a reliance, he then heals a child but with no long term food the boy will wither again, all these temprary miracles show his power whilst also creating a reliance. as time goes on you see all those who serve at the temple in fine clothes all seem youthful and well fed whilst all others are still poor and starved the temple is taking tributes and keeping them for itself and in return they give out pearls which yellow brow provides and what can poor starving people do with pearls can't eat them and can't trade them atleast not near by, that village will be saturated with pearls and will have no value so the starving people starve whilst beliving they are saved and so Yellow Brow makes himself the beating heart of this village only too make them stab it too death and the village fades forever

From the graphics, music to the story behind this scene, it is both scary and epic. Jinchanji (in Tripitaka's previous life, he was Wukong's master) and his Brother the Turtle in the video made a bet with each other: Is human greed limitless? And as we have seen, there is no limit at all. When people are given something, they just want more and more. The senior brother said: "I won." But Jinchanji only said: "Isn't it sad that you only care about winning or losing like that?" Is it because people are greedy, or is it because "gods" have given them too much to arouse that greed? Is greed due to nature, or is it formed by external influences?
