The "Lalang" Phenomenon in China: The "Sun Wukong × Lin Daiyu" (St. Dai) Couple

Ⅰ Introduction

The phenomenon of "Lalang CP" is a subcultural practice rooted in the concept of "CP." Firstly, "CP" originates from the English term "Coupling," initially used in Japanese ACGN (Animation, Comics, Games, Novels) fandoms, meaning "couple" or "paired characters." Secondly, the term "Lalang" means forcibly pairing two unrelated characters, derived from Chinese folk language (Wu Ennan, 2023, 1). Platforms such as Bilibili, known for fan culture, have seen unconventional pairings like Lin Daiyu × Voldemort, Lazy Goat × Ulanara Yixiu, and Lin Daiyu × Sun Wukong. This paper focuses specifically on the "St. Dai CP," combining Sun Wukong from "Journey to the West" with Lin Daiyu from "Dream of the Red Chamber," which represents a significant example of Lalang subculture. The analysis will examine the origins and development of this pairing, reasons behind its explosive popularity, and its cultural impacts.

Ⅱ Origin and Development of St. Dai CP

Lin Daiyu’s earliest Lalang pairing was not with Sun Wukong but rather Voldemort from Western literature. In 2011, after losing a bet, a writer composed a fanfiction story pairing Voldemort and Lin Daiyu titled "From Far Away, For You, the Burial of Flowers." In this story, Voldemort's soul traveled to Lin's mansion, sparking a dramatic cross-cultural romance. The narrative concluded tragically, with Voldemort sacrificing himself to briefly prolong Lin Daiyu’s life. The poignant sentiment, "You wandered the mortal world for thousands of years, only to let me glimpse you one last time," resonated profoundly, symbolizing an East-West fusion reminiscent of the tragic romance in "The Peony Pavilion."

This humorous yet touching scenario sparked criticism of Jia Baoyu’s reliability, prompting internet users to suggest better partners for Lin Daiyu from other literary works. On September 18, 2020, Bilibili content creator "Zixu" launched a video pairing Sun Wukong and Lin Daiyu titled "Marriage of Classics | Buddha Saves Everyone Except Me, I'd Rather Betray Buddha Than You." By 2022, it garnered 8.061 million views, recognized as one of Bilibili’s "85 Must-Watch Videos," and was celebrated as an iconic work of the Lalang genre. The video led to numerous fan creations and a substantial fanbase for "St. Dai," though it was later removed for unspecified reasons.

Since 2020, the "St. Dai" CP has sustained considerable popularity, accumulating over 1.2 billion views on Weibo. Liu Xiao Ling Tong, the actor who portrayed Sun Wukong in the 1986 "Journey to the West" TV series, publicly endorsed the pairing for its creativity, prompting an additional 87,000 related fan-made videos within one week. On June 5, 2025, Douyin, China’s largest streaming platform, saw another viral short video featuring the "St. Dai" CP, accumulating over 2.5 million likes and more than 140,000 comments within five days.

Ⅲ Reasons for the Explosive Popularity of St. Dai CP

Character Appeal

  Firstly, the appeal stems from the contrasting personalities of the characters. Sun Wukong is a powerful and straightforward warrior, known as the "Victorious Fighting Buddha," whereas Lin Daiyu is the delicate and emotionally introspective "Fairy of Xiao Xiang." This pairing, characterized as a straightforward man paired with a sensitive woman, resonates strongly. Sun Wukong’s unwavering sincerity alleviates Lin Daiyu’s habitual melancholy. In popular clips, when Daiyu cries, Sun Wukong boldly intervenes: "Don't cry! Just tell me what's wrong. Master, I can’t bear seeing someone cry. If she's wronged, I'll sort it out!" Sun Wukong thus emerges as a better emotional partner than Jia Baoyu. Additionally, Daiyu’s fragile health contrasts with Sun Wukong’s strength and magical abilities, enabling him to protect and care for her, even defying death by removing her name from the Book of Life and Death. Their pairing is perceived as fitting due to their comparable iconic status—Sun Wukong as the quintessential male protagonist and Lin Daiyu as the archetypal female protagonist in classical Chinese literature, highlighting their compatibility.The evolution of character interpretation reflects the spirit of the era and embodies the collective emotional structure in a time of social transformation (Sun Ping 2020, 1).

Breaking the Sanctity of Classics

  Contemporary youth actively reinterpret classical texts, innovating creatively and integrating tradition into modern life in novel ways. This unconventional pairing satisfies curiosity and symbolizes the classic "grass and stone" affinity—Lin Daiyu as the Crimson Pearl Flower spirit and Sun Wukong as the stone used to mend the heavens. Fans humorously speculate Lin Daiyu might have originally mistaken her destined stone. Importantly, creators maintain integrity by carefully recontextualizing original dialogues without distorting Sun Wukong’s noble character or Lin Daiyu’s intelligent melancholy.

Emotional Projection and Compensation

  The popularity of "St. Dai CP" reflects modern youth’s emotional needs. Fan fiction frequently serves as a psychological outlet, compensating for deficiencies in real-life relationships. “However, beyond practicality, writing fanfiction is also a helpful way for people to understand their inner emotions, whether positive or negative…” (Aynur Akpinar 2006, 23).Sun Wukong’s unconditional devotion symbolizes ideal romantic relationships desired by contemporary audiences. This psychological mechanism parallels Japan’s Otome culture, wherein virtual relationships fulfill emotional needs unmet by reality.

Platform Catalysis

  In recent years, with the increasing integration of literature, film, and online media, the cross-media dissemination and widespread popularity of literary classics have become a significant phenomenon. This trend continues to give rise to new artistic forms while also bringing classic literary works to a broader audience, revitalizing them with renewed vitality (Zhang & Hong 2025, 1). Digital platforms like Douyin and Bilibili, with their massive user bases and powerful dissemination capabilities, use algorithm-based recommendations tailored to user interests to rapidly present St. Dai CP content to potential viewers, accelerating its spread. These platforms also offer rich interactive features such as comments, bullet screens, and likes, fostering a community atmosphere that encourages communication and sharing among users. This transforms viewers from passive consumers into active participants in dissemination, with user-driven discussion and derivative creations further boosting the topic's visibility and triggering viral spread.

Ⅳ Impact of the St. Dai CP Phenomenon

Positive Effects

  The "St. Dai CP" significantly enhances young audiences’engagement with classical literature. Entertaining reinterpretations provoke renewed interest in "Journey to the West" and "Dream of the Red Chamber," broadening creative boundaries and attracting commercial investment due to its popularity.

Potential Controversies and Reflection

  Some scholars criticize the simplification of Sun Wukong’s rebellious spirit into a mere romantic protector and the reconfiguration of Lin Daiyu’s poetic tragedy into a damsel-in-distress narrative. Literary critic Li Jingze (2023) argues such reinterpretations diminish the core themes of rebellion against authority embedded in the original texts. This debate reflects broader tensions between "disenchanting classics" and "guarding cultural memory" in the digital era. Successful reinterpretations must balance innovation with fidelity to original narratives, avoiding reckless distortions.

Ⅴ Conclusion

In the digital age, the artistic subjects we encounter no longer exist solely in tangible physical spaces, but are also increasingly active and comprehensible to the public within digital networks and social platforms (Sean Lowry 2024, 1). Creative reinterpretations like "St. Dai CP" reflect young people's innovative approaches to classic narratives. While digital platforms play a crucial role in popularizing such trends, maintaining a respectful balance between innovation and authenticity is essential for preserving and revitalizing traditional cultural works.

中国的拉郎现象：圣黛CP（孙悟空×林黛玉）

一、引言

“拉郎CP”是根植于“CP”理念的“拉郞”亚文化实践。首先，CP一词源自于英文“Coupling”,最早运用于日本ACGN(动画漫画、游戏、小说)同人文化圈之中，意指“情侣”或“配成的一对”。其次，“拉郎”的含义是“拉郞配”,其名词来源于中国民间的俗语，指将本没有任何相关关系的人物强行配对(Wu Ennan 2023，1)。以同人文化的阵地B站为例，林黛玉X伏地魔、懒羊羊X乌拉那拉宜修、林黛玉X孙悟空等别具一格的CP层出不穷。而本文所讲述的“圣黛CP”则是《西游记》中的孙悟空与《红楼梦》中林黛玉的组合，该cp是拉郎文化中的代表性。接下来，笔者将具体阐述该cp的起源与发展，爆火原因，以及影响，从这三个层面进行分析。

二、圣黛CP的起源与发展

林黛玉最早的拉郎cp其实并不是孙悟空，而是来自西方伏地魔。2011年，一位文手与朋友打赌输了，抽签抽到写一篇伏地魔×林黛玉的同人文，于是便出现了伏黛的开山之作《来自远方为你葬花》。 故事的开头是伏地魔灵魂穿越到遥远的林府之中，两人惊鸿一瞥，一见倾心。故事的结局是伏地魔强行给黛玉续命，最后灰飞烟灭。“你在尘世中辗转了千百年，却只让我看你最后一眼。”两人穿越时间与空间的苦恋，逆天而行却不得而终，堪称中西合璧的悲剧版《牡丹亭》。

这次玩笑，让网友们吐槽宝玉的不牢靠，纷纷开始跨作品为林妹妹物色更好的爱人。于是在2020年9月18日，由b站UP主“自叙”推出的“孙悟空×林黛玉《名著联姻|佛度众生不度我 宁负如来不负卿》二创视频横空出世，2022年的浏览量便已达到806.1万，被收录于B站“入站必刷85大视频”，荣获“名著拉郎CP代表作品”成就，由此衍生出大量二创剪辑与“圣黛”粉丝。（后该作品由于不明原因下架）

从2020年后“圣黛”cp话题热度居高不下，微博话题阅读量超 12 亿，86 版《西游记》孙悟空扮演者六小龄童受访时对圣黛 CP 表示认可，称其有创意，该表态使得《西游记》相关二创视频一周新增 8.7 万条。 抖音是国内最大的流媒体平台，2025年6月5日抖音又爆了一条关于圣黛cp的短视频。截止到今日（2025.6.10）为止，该视频点赞量5天内破250万，评论数量超14万。

三、圣黛CP爆火原因

1.角色本身的吸引力 首先是性格的反差萌。孙悟空是武力值超高的“斗战胜佛” ，林黛玉是多愁善感的“潇湘妃子”，直球男x内耗女的设定，而面对悟空的赤诚专一，林妹妹终于不用以泪洗面，黛玉哭泣时，孙悟空会说：“你别哭了，有什么事赶紧说啊。师父，我最见不得人家哭了。她要是有什么不平事，尽管说出来，俺老孙替她做主。”在“圣黛CP”的视频中，孙悟空比贾宝玉更能接住林黛玉的种种小情绪。其次，黛玉体弱，而法力高强的孙悟空可以保护身体虚弱的她，也可以为她向太上老君寻药治病。流传在短视频上的“圣黛cp”剪辑片段中，黛玉即将离世，活不过第二天，孙悟空为此怒闯阎罗殿，在生死簿划掉林黛玉的名字。身份上，两人番位一致，就像网友所言，“孙悟空是四大名著第一男主，林妹妹是四大名著第一女主，这怎么不算门当户对呢？”孙悟空和林黛玉的角色形象被重新挖掘，重新探索，他们细致的人格得以被看见。对形象解读流变是时代的鉴照，是时代变革中集体情感结构的体现（Sun Ping 2020,1)。

2.经典神圣性的打破 当代年轻人对经典文化有着全新的态度。他们不再被动接受经典，而是主动解构、创新，通过二次创作赋予经典新的生命力。跨次元的组合既满足了年轻人的猎奇心理，也让传统文化以更轻松的方式融入现代生活。原本的木石情缘，就像网友说的，林黛玉是绛珠仙草，而孙悟空则是补天遗石的化身，这种一草一石，这何尝又不是一种“木石情缘”，“林妹妹当时一定是认错了石头”。二创作者并未扭曲孙悟空“已识乾坤大，犹怜草木青”的豁达襟怀，也没改变林黛玉“心较比干多一窍，病如西子胜三分”的聪慧沉郁，而是通过影视片段剪辑，让两者的台词自然契合。这是在熟读经典上的巧妙改编，而非乱编，胡编。

3.情感投射与代偿心理： 圣黛 CP 的流行反映了青年通过同人创作缓解现实压力的需求。粉丝常通过虚构关系弥补现实情感缺失，圣黛 CP 中孙悟空对黛玉的无条件守护，恰是现代青年对 “理想亲密关系” 的投射。“然而，除了实用性之外，撰写同人小说也是帮助人们理解内心情感的好方法，无论是积极的还是消极的……”(Aynur Akpinar 2006，23)现代快节奏且充满压力的生活中，许多人经常感到孤独和无助，内心深处渴望找到一种能够互补、带来温暖和庇护的亲密关系。而这种心理机制与日本 “乙女文化” 中对虚拟男性角色的情感寄托具有跨文化一致性。

4.平台的催化作用： 近年来，随着文学与影视、网络媒介的相互介入，文学经典的跨媒介传播与破圈发展已经成为一个显著现象，在不断催生新的文艺形态的同时，也促使文学经典作品走向更为广泛的受众群体，焕发出蓬勃的生命力。(Zhang&Hong 2025，1)抖音、B 站等平台拥有庞大用户群体与强大传播力，算法推荐机制依据用户兴趣精准推送，能迅速将圣黛 CP 相关内容呈现在潜在受众眼前，加速其传播扩散。平台上丰富的互动形式，如弹幕、评论、点赞等，构建起用户间交流分享的社区氛围，让受众从单纯观看者转变为传播参与者，用户自发讨论、二创衍生进一步推动话题热度攀升，形成传播裂变效应 。

四、圣黛CP现象的影响

1.积极影响 首先对经典文学传播有相当大的积极作用，圣黛 CP 以娱乐化形式激发年轻群体对《西游记》《红楼梦》的兴趣，如 B 站二创视频带动原著相关搜索量，以娱乐化形式引发年轻群体对《西游记》《红楼梦》的兴趣，同人创作也推动经典文本的二次解读与文化出圈。其次，它拓宽拉郎创作的边界，也推动商业资本对热门CP的关注与潜在开发。

2.潜在争议与反思： 圣黛 CP 中孙悟空 “斗战胜佛” 的神性被简化为 “护妻狂魔”，林黛玉的诗性悲情被重构为 “被拯救者”，这种改编引发学界对经典角色符号价值的争议。文艺批评家李敬泽（2023）指出，二创将孙悟空的叛逆精神降维为 “恋爱脑”，实质是对原著 “反抗权威” 内核的消解。这种争议本质上是数字时代 “经典祛魅” 与 “文化记忆守护” 的博弈。拥有生命力的创意改编无不实现传统与创新的平衡。经典的传承不必墨守成规地照搬原典，但更不能枉顾原著精神地胡编滥造，而是要怀着敬畏之心，深挖原著内核后以现代语言重新书写。

五、结论

基于数字时代，我们所面临的艺术对象不仅存在于某种有形的物质空间，而且还在网络空间和社交平台上日趋活跃并逐渐为大众所理解和接受。(Sean Lowry 2024，1)圣黛CP的爆火，是年轻人用跨次元拉郎重构经典的文化实验。从B站二创到抖音传播，平台算法与用户创作共同推动这对CP破圈，既满足了现代青年对理想爱情的情感寄托，也让《西游记》《红楼梦》以更轻松的方式走近大众。这种创新改编在娱乐中激活了经典生命力，但也需在创意与原著精神间找到平衡，让传统文化真正实现年轻化传承。

第九讲：旗袍文化与游戏文化 Session Nine: Cheongsam Culture and Game Culture

旗袍文化与翻译 Clothing: Cheongsam and Translation

旗袍作为中国传统服饰的代表，其名称通常音译为"cheongsam"(粤语发音)或"qipao"(普通话发音)，译者需了解这两种译法的使用语境，如在国际时尚领域"cheongsam"更为常见，而学术文章中可能两者并用并说明其语源。

As a representative of traditional Chinese clothing, the name of qipao is usually transliterated as "cheongsam" (Cantonese pronunciation) or "qipao" (Mandarin pronunciation). Translators need to understand the usage context of these two translations. For example, "cheongsam" is more common in the international fashion field, while academic articles may use both and explain their etymology.

旗袍的历史演变中包含丰富的文化信息，翻译时需准确表达不同历史时期旗袍的特点，如满族旗袍、1920年代的改良旗袍、1930年代的上海风格旗袍等，避免将不同时期的特征混淆。

The historical evolution of qipao contains rich cultural information. The characteristics of qipao in different historical periods need to be accurately expressed in translation, such as Manchu qipao, improved qipao in the 1920s, Shanghai-style qipao in the 1930s, etc., avoiding confusion of features from different periods.

旗袍工艺和结构术语的翻译需特别注意专业准确性，如将"盘扣"译为"Chinese knot buttons/pankou buttons"而非简单的"buttons"，将"琵琶襟"译为"overlapping front closure/pipa front"而非简单的"collar"，以准确表达其独特的结构特点。

Special attention should be paid to professional accuracy in the translation of qipao craftsmanship and structure terminology. For example, "pan kou" can be translated as "Chinese knot buttons/pankou buttons" rather than simply "buttons," and "pipa jin" as "overlapping front closure/pipa front" rather than simply "collar," to accurately express their unique structural features.

翻译旗袍文化相关内容时，需关注性别视角和文化身份的敏感问题，既要避免东方主义的刻板印象（如将旗袍简单地与"exotic Oriental femininity"联系），也要准确传达旗袍在中国现代女性身份建构中的复杂角色。

When translating qipao culture-related content, attention should be paid to sensitive issues of gender perspective and cultural identity. It is necessary to avoid Orientalist stereotypes (such as simply associating qipao with "exotic Oriental femininity") and accurately convey the complex role of qipao in the construction of modern Chinese female identity.

口译涉及旗袍主题时，译者需熟悉面料、花纹、剪裁等专业术语，如将"缎面"译为"satin"，"盘金云纹"译为"gold-embroidered cloud pattern"等，同时了解旗袍在不同场合（正式社交、日常穿着、艺术表演等）的文化含义，以准确传达相关语境。

When interpretation involves qipao themes, interpreters need to be familiar with professional terms such as fabrics, patterns, cutting, etc., such as translating "duan mian" as "satin," "pan jin yun wen" as "gold-embroidered cloud pattern," etc., while understanding the cultural meanings of qipao in different occasions (formal social, daily wear, artistic performance, etc.), to accurately convey the relevant context.

黑神话：悟空与翻译 Black Myth: Wukong and Translation

《黑神话：悟空》作为基于中国古典名著《西游记》的游戏作品，其翻译需特别注意中国传统文化元素的准确表达，如游戏中的神话人物、法术、武器等需结合原著背景进行翻译，避免与西方奇幻概念混淆。

As a game based on the Chinese classical masterpiece "Journey to the West," the translation of "Black Myth: Wukong" needs to pay special attention to the accurate expression of traditional Chinese cultural elements. Mythological characters, spells, weapons, etc., in the game need to be translated in combination with the background of the original work, avoiding confusion with Western fantasy concepts.

游戏术语与中国传统文化术语的结合是翻译的重点，如将游戏中的技能系统"法相天地"译为"Divine Transformation"时，需注意保留其佛教文化背景，必要时通过注释或游戏内说明传达其文化内涵。

The combination of game terminology and traditional Chinese cultural terminology is the focus of translation. For example, when translating the skill system "fa xiang tian di" in the game as "Divine Transformation," attention should be paid to retaining its Buddhist cultural background, with its cultural connotations conveyed through annotations or in-game explanations when necessary.

游戏中的文言表达和诗词引用在翻译时需特别注意语体风格，如游戏角色的对话可能模仿古代语言风格，翻译时既要保持其古雅氛围，又要确保现代玩家能够理解，可采用适度古风的英语表达来再现这种效果。

Special attention should be paid to stylistic style in the translation of classical Chinese expressions and poetry quotations in the game. For example, the dialogue of game characters may imitate ancient language style. When translating, it is necessary to maintain its elegant atmosphere while ensuring that modern players can understand it. Moderately archaic English expressions can be used to reproduce this effect.

游戏视觉元素中的中国传统文化符号，如建筑风格、服饰设计、器物形象等，在涉及这些元素的描述文本翻译时，需准确使用相应的专业术语，如将游戏中的"飞檐斗拱"译为"flying eaves and dougong brackets"而非简单的"Chinese roof"。

For traditional Chinese cultural symbols in game visual elements, such as architectural style, costume design, implement images, etc., when translating descriptive texts involving these elements, corresponding professional terms need to be used accurately. For example, "fei yan dou gong" in the game can be translated as "flying eaves and dougong brackets" rather than simply "Chinese roof."

口译涉及游戏和中国传统文化结合的内容时，译者需同时熟悉游戏术语和中国文化术语，了解原著《西游记》的经典英译本如Arthur Waley的《Monkey》中的译名选择，在专业游戏术语和传统文化表达之间找到平衡，确保不同背景的听众都能理解。

When interpretation involves content combining games and traditional Chinese culture, interpreters need to be familiar with both game terminology and Chinese cultural terminology, understand the translation choices in classic English translations of the original "Journey to the West" such as Arthur Waley's "Monkey," find a balance between professional game terminology and traditional cultural expressions, and ensure that audiences with different backgrounds can understand.
