Kisah dan tradisi
Ao Guang adalah Raja Naga Laut Timur dalam cerita rakyat Tiongkok. Tokoh ini muncul dalam Fengshen Yanyi dan Journey to the West. Dalam penafsiran Buddhis, Ao Guang disebut Raja Naga Sagara, yang menurut Avataṃsaka Sūtra berkedudukan sebagai nāgaraja pengatur hujan bagi dunia. Sebuah kisah menyebut keempat raja naga dihukum Kaisar Giok karena menurunkan hujan tanpa izin pada masa kekeringan. Dalam kisah Avalokiteśvara, Ao Guang memohon bantuan ketika putra ketiganya tertangkap nelayan. Menurut Fengshen Yanyi, Ao Guang membawa kekacauan dengan menciptakan kekeringan, badai, dan bencana lain. Setelah Nezha membunuh Li Gen dan Ao Bing, Ao Guang menemui ayah Nezha; kemudian ia terpaksa mengubah diri menjadi ular kecil dan ikut Nezha kembali ke Old Pond Pass. Dalam teks Journey to the West bab 3, Ao Guang menyambut Sun Wukong bersama putra naga, cucu naga, prajurit udang, dan jenderal kepiting. Dalam memorialnya kepada Kaisar Giok, ia menyatakan telah mempersembahkan tongkat besi ajaib, topi emas, baju zirah rantai, dan sepatu penjejak awan. Sun Wukong juga disebut memperoleh Ruyi Jingu Bang dari Ao Guang, dan hujan deras Ao Guang tidak dapat menghentikan api Red Boy, yang tidak dapat dipadamkan air biasa.
Ao Guang is the East Sea Dragon King in Chinese folklore. This figure appears in Fengshen Yanyi and Journey to the West. In Buddhist interpretation, Ao Guang is called the Dragon King Sagara, who in the Avataṃsaka Sūtra holds the rank of nāgaraja governing the rain that the world receives. One tale says the four Dragon Kings were punished by the Jade Emperor for bringing rain without permission in times of drought. In the Avalokiteśvara tale, Ao Guang seeks help when his third son is captured by a fisherman. According to Fengshen Yanyi, Ao Guang brought chaos by creating droughts, storms and other disasters. After Nezha killed Li Gen and Ao Bing, Ao Guang went to Nezha's father; he was later forced to turn himself into a small snake and go with Nezha back to the Old Pond Pass. In the text of Journey to the West chapter 3, Ao Guang welcomes Sun Wukong together with his dragon sons, dragon grandsons, shrimp soldiers and crab generals. In his memorial to the Jade Emperor he states that he presented the magic iron staff, the golden cap, the chain-mail armor and the cloud-treading boots. Sun Wukong is also said to have obtained the Ruyi Jingu Bang from Ao Guang, and Ao Guang's torrential rain could not put out Red Boy's fire, which ordinary water cannot stop.
