In Journey to the West, the goddess Chang 'e is different from the goddess Chang 'e in general myths and legends. Chang 'e is not a specific person, but a profession. Many female immortals are collectively called Chang 'e, but everyone has their own different names. The goddess Chang 'e teased by Pig Bajie is a fairy in a skirt.
The Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor are not husband and wife. She is the leader of the immortals, and her position is definitely not lower than that of the Jade Emperor. Chang 'e, after she ascended to heaven, was the fairy of the Queen Mother. Although her status is not high, she is not easy to mess with. After all, she has such a background.
Therefore, the Jade Emperor must deal with this matter well, and can't let the Queen Mother lose face, so Marshal Tian Peng can only bear these sins himself.
Extended data
Since the Tang Dynasty, the legend of Cai Yu has been included in the allusions of the Moon God myth. The author of The Journey to the West should also take the word Nishang as the name of a fairy.
The Chang 'e in The Journey to the West, only two names, Su E and Nishang, have appeared. The Moon Star originally called herself an "old woman", which is the image of an old woman, and should not belong to Chang 'e. In The Journey to the West, there is a reference to shooting the sun. But Heng E, who flew to the moon, was not mentioned or appeared.
