About This Novel
"Journey to the West" was written around the middle of the Ming Dynasty in my country in the 1670s. It, together with the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" that appeared earlier than it, and later "The Scholars" and "Dream of Red Mansions", are the most representative and most famous novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in my country. "Journey to the West" is based on Xuanzang's experience of seeking Buddhist scriptures in the Tang Dynasty. After artistic processing by the novelist, it has become a complete and vivid novel.
