Idiom story

In journey to the west, Zhu Wuneng accepted the Bodhisattva's precepts and broke his five meat and three dislikes. Therefore, the Tang Monk gave him a nickname called "Eight Precepts". Five meats and three dislikes are religious rules. Believers are not allowed to eat them. Five meat, namely five spices, refers to five kinds of spicy vegetables. (XiaoSuan, garlic, leek, Brassica and coriander are the five meat dishes of lianxingjia; chive, Xiebai, garlic, Brassica and coriander are the five meat dishes of Daoism; garlic, XiaoSuan, Xingqu, cicong and pengcong are the five meat dishes of Buddhism. ）Three dislikes, Taoism takes the wild goose, the dog, the tortoise as three kinds of animals which cannot eat, as the dogma. The author thinks that "the wild goose has the relationship between husband and wife, the dog has the friendship with the Lord, and the tortoise has the loyalty and respect of the king and his officials, so he can't bear to eat" (Yongchuang sketch). Disgust, here is the meaning of can't bear to eat. However, the five meat and three aversions are a mixture of Buddhism and Taoism, and the "eight commandments" of Buddhism actually have another meaning. Including no killing, no stealing, no lust, no lying, no drinking, no sleeping, no sitting in a gorgeous bed, no dressing and watching music and dancing, no eating after noon. There are many more Buddhist precepts. Although Zhu Wuneng was called "eight commandments", he was not thorough and unwilling.
