Cui Jue

Cui Jue

Cui Jue, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, is commonly known as Cui Fujun among the people. The judge is located in the temple of the son of heaven in Fengdu and is responsible for judging the ghosts who come to the underworld. The four most famous magistrates are: reward good division, punishment evil division, inspection division and judge Cui. The first three are all the position names, which are not allowed to be tested. But the last judge Cui is very famous. It appears in journey to the West and other legends. It is said that judge Cui, named Jue, was born in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The ghost judge is based on the judge of the underworld in Chinese traditional culture.

In some versions of journey to the west, it is specially changed to "Cui Li". The meaning of the cuckoo's blood should be taken to allude to the unjust fall of the emperor.

Cui Jue breaks the tiger

Cui Jue is from Zhengning, Gansu Province. The story takes place during the reign of Tang Zhenguan. An old lady living in Xixiang went to the County Hall to drum and sue a tiger for eating his son. When Cui Jue heard this, he was not happy. He wanted to put it off. But when he saw that the four golden characters "make decisions for the people" were engraved on the jingtangmu, he ordered Li Neng, the head of the city with martial arts skills, to catch the tiger. Li Neng was baffled. When he got home, he told his mother about it. His mother asked him to send him to Hatoyama to offer pig heads to the mountain god and ask him to catch tigers. Li Neng came to fajiushan temple. It was almost dusk. He suddenly had a plan. He hung the pig's head on a tree to attract the tiger. This move is really smart. When the day is about to break, the tiger really comes and jumps up to pounce on the food. Li Neng tied a loose knot on the rope in a hurry, threw it away and put it on the neck of the tiger. Then he pulled hard and captured the tiger. Li Neng escorted the "criminal" to the eldest son city. To the west gate of the county, the tiger is dead. Cui Jue suddenly realized that tigers are beasts and can't walk in and out of the city gate, so she ordered people to open another small West Gate 100 steps south of the west gate. Then the tiger obediently entered the city from the small west gate. Cui Jue Duan sat in the lobby and ordered the tiger to lie down. The tiger obediently lay down. Cui Jue said to the tiger, "if you have eaten Wang Po's son, you should be beheaded. But if you don't understand human affairs, can you agree that I will cut you off to support Wang Po?" The tiger nodded after listening. Cui Jue said to Wang Po, "this tiger has been subdued. Take it back and be your son. It will obey you." Wang Po agreed and took the tiger back. Sure enough, the tiger was obedient, and there was no trouble.

The story goes: there is a big mountain in the southwest of Changzi county at the junction of Qinshui, named diaohuangling. In the old days, beasts often appeared. One day, a woodcutter went up the mountain to cut firewood and was eaten by a fierce tiger. His widowed mother was in agony and went to the court to complain. Cui Jue immediately issued a license and sent Meng Xian, the Yamen officer, to arrest the tiger on the mountain with a Fu die. Xian recited the talisman in front of the mountain temple and offered it to the God. Then a tiger ran out from behind the temple, holding the talisman in front of Xian and letting it be tied with an iron chain. Evil tiger was arrested to the county government, Jue immediately ascended to court. In the hall, Jue counted the crimes of the evil tiger, and the evil tiger nodded. The final verdict: "eating people's lives is unforgivable." The tiger touched the steps and died. After Cui Jue's death, people set up temples to offer sacrifices in many places.

Journey to the West: Cui Jue / Cui Yu

The author of journey to the West absorbed a lot of stories and characters from folklore, and integrated and reconstructed them in the hundred chapters. It can be seen that in some versions, judge Cui was renamed as "Cui Li", a magistrate of the underworld, subordinate to the king of hell, in charge of the book of life and death, and an important promoter of the plot development.

The next day, Xuanwei Zheng entered the palace and played chess with Wang, trying to stop Wei Zheng, but Wei Zheng dreamed of cutting the old dragon.

The soul of the Dragon King entrusted the Tang King with a dream for his life. At night, the palace was haunted, so Hu Jingde (Yuchi Jingde) and Qin Shubao were appointed to guard the palace gate, and Wei Zheng was appointed to guard the Empress Dowager's gate.

The Dragon King was supposed to make peace in the mortal world by the will of the Jade Emperor. The Dragon King went to Yuan Shoucheng to make trouble because of his bad hexagram. He didn't know that he was motivated by his own will, which led to flood and affected the common people. He broke the law of heaven. When the Jade Emperor learned of it, he ordered the Dragon King to be executed for dereliction of duty, which scared him out of his mind. He begged yuan Shoucheng to hold high his hand.
