Journey to the West

Journey to the West is actually really interesting when viewed from the other side. Please see: Tathagata sent four masters and disciples with the Eight Heavenly Books and the Little White Dragon to preach in the Eastern Tang Dynasty. Along the way, they encountered various monsters. After fighting, they found that they all had backings and could not be punished no matter how evil they did. Bajie and Sha Seng felt that it was too dark, so they had no choice but to hide in Gaolaozhuang and the other into the Liusha River. Only Wukong insisted on justice and killed monsters all the way to escort the master to the east to preach. As a result, Heaven couldn't bear Wukong anymore and reached an agreement with Tathagata - we can ensure that Tang Sanzang reaches Chang'an safely, but you have to deal with Sun Wukong, a thorny person. Tathagata agreed, and after some conspiracy , the white dragon was seriously injured and fell into the mountain stream. Wukong was defeated and was crushed at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain. However, Tang Sanzang abandoned Sun Wukong and came to Chang'an alone. After preaching in Chang'an, he was named an imperial disciple, enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and died. After five hundred years like this, Wukong finally escaped from Wuzhi Mountain without saying a word, turning Heaven upside down. Heaven was forced to agree to let Zhu Bajie turn into a human body and be named Marshal Tianpeng, and Monk Sha be named General Rolling Curtain, as long as they could kill Sun Wukong. In the end, Wukong, who was frustrated because of his brother's fratricide, went to find Patriarch Bodhi to solve his doubts. Then he sealed his cultivation, threw the Ruyi Golden Cudgel into the East China Sea and turned it into the Dinghai Divine Needle. He returned to Huaguo Mountain and lived an ordinary life with the monkey grandson, and finally turned into a stone on the top of Huaguo Mountain.

Many people don't understand Journey to the West, but you haven't looked carefully or thought about it. The plot hidden in Journey to the West is only comparable to Dream of Red Mansions! It can be said that Journey to the West is the first of the four classics, followed by Dream of Red Mansions and Water Margin. If you don't believe it, just watch Cooking Wine and Journey to the West and you will understand. If you don't read it carefully, you will say that Journey to the West is nonsense. I think you are just swallowing jujubes when you read it!

See where it is called the Monkey King. It reminds the monkeys, using language that is sophisticated, not violent, not arrogant, and takes into account the "invisible" interests of the monkeys. Let's look at it leading the monkeys and dividing the monkey ministers' status. I don't know if it was arranged by it. If so, then monkeys are born with this knowledge. Next, he traveled from Dongsheng Shenzhou to Nanchanbuzhou. When he arrived at the beach, he pretended to be other creatures, frightened fishermen and others, and wore the clothes of one of them. Learn human language and learn humanities. From Dongsheng Shenzhou to Nanchanbuzhou, from Nanchanbuzhou to Xiniuhezhou, he went through countless hardships and devoted himself to seeking immortality. When I met a woodcutter, I asked the gods, and I also wanted to persuade the woodcutter, a neighbor of the gods and an acquaintance, to become his disciple. This shows his cleverness. As for when Patriarch Subhuti lived here, monkeys had to sweep the floor, chop wood, carry water, sit in meditation, and read scriptures. Is this a hozen? Is this rude? Is this wild? Who can do it? This process takes seven years. When learning skills, Patriarch Subhuti asked Sun Wukong: What do you want to learn? Sun Wukong said: It depends on the instructions of Patriarch Bodhi. Patriarch Subhuti said: Is it possible to learn the art of martial arts? That is, mechanisms to control beasts. Sun Wukong asked: Can I live forever? Earlier it said that you can do as you are told... Patriarch Subhuti said again: Is it possible to learn the Liuzi sect? ... Can Jingzimen be learned? Is it possible to learn the moving word gate? Wukong asked: Can I live forever? Well, smart and slippery. Arrive at the classic venue: Patriarch Subhuti knocks Wukong three times to turn on the small stove. Wukong is even smarter and keeps silent, which means he keeps a low profile and makes a fortune. Sneak out at night. Maybe Wukong also realized that "the teacher does not know the way, and the way should not be taught lightly." Who said Wukong was wild? It's obviously a human spirit! He is still the kind of spiritual and independent person.

[Journey to the West] is China's first romantic chapter-length novel about gods and demons, and it can be said to be a household name. The upright and kind-hearted Tang Monk, the powerful Sun Wukong, the naive Zhu Bajie, the hard-working White Dragon Horse... Mr. Wu Cheng'en has created many characters with distinctive personalities, and they are talked about. But Monk Sha seems to be rarely mentioned by people. When most people talk about "Journey to the West", Monk Sha is brushed aside. In the entire Buddhist scripture collection team, Monk Sha is like a little transparent person. He is not eye-catching at all, but he plays a role in stabilizing the morale of the soldiers. When he met Red Boy once, even Sun Wukong wanted to break up the gang, but Monk Sha firmly disagreed and instead persuaded the other two. Monk Sha carried the burden all day long, but he never complained or complained. He always worked hard and diligently, doing the work behind the scenes. Be down-to-earth and work hard, remain unknown, and make selfless contributions. This is Monk Sha! I think such a person deserves praise from all of us. Monk Sha, you are awesome! Pen refill~ Dear readers, what do you think of Monk Sha?

In the early stage, he listened to Zhu Bajie's slander and recited the tight curse. When Sun Wukong didn't get what he wanted, he cursed Monkey. When he was caught by monsters, he cried and lamented about life. Then he wanted Wukong to save him, but he was not grateful at all. The three dozen white-bone demons all clearly made a promise, saying that if they accepted Wukong as their disciple again, they would be sent to hell, but they would not accept him after that. A mortal with naked eyes, he doesn't listen to the old man's words, and when he meets any gods or immortals, he kneels down to worship him. He threatens Wukong at every turn and recites the tightening curse. Alas, why don't the monsters eat this kind of Tang Monk?

Sun Wukong is witty, active, lively, brave, has extraordinary abilities, distinguishes between good and evil, and hates evil as much as hatred. The unparalleled hero in my heart is not the Supreme Treasure, but this jealous Sun Xingzhe! It was him who gave me a heroic dream and allowed me to hold on to this dream. It was also him who made me not give up easily now! He is the unparalleled hero in my heart! Even when his master didn't believe in him, he stuck to his faith and never wavered. He considered his master's safety as his top priority and would not blame anyone! Sun Wukong once said: "If I become a Buddha, there will be no demons in the world. If I become a demon, what will the Buddha do to me?" This sentence is very domineering! This is also what I yearn for! Sun Wukong is the unparalleled hero in my heart. Who is the unparalleled hero in your heart?

Is there anyone out there like me who came here to do exam questions but found that they couldn't understand them?

I wanted to read the entire book in 3 months, but unknowingly I finished it in more than a month. In the process of learning the scriptures, the four masters and disciples had suspicions and complaints but also supported each other. They went through various hardships to obtain the true scriptures. Sun Wukong has a delicate mind and a flexible mind, and is very capable, but he has a hot temper and cannot stand the stimulation of others. Zhu Bajie is an honest person but cannot resist temptation. He cannot resist temptation when he sees food and beauty. Although Sha Seng is not the most capable, he sees things very clearly and is practical and responsible in doing things. I can understand Wukong teasing Bajie, and I can understand the real thoughts of Master and Wukong. He never complains about his work and actively assists Wukong and Bajie in protecting their master. At first, Tang Seng gave people the impression that he had no ability but always wronged good people, which made people feel resentful. However, through the hardships along the way and the help of his apprentices, Tang Seng gradually changed his thinking and realized that he could not see demons and ghosts with his naked eyes, and he had a better understanding of his apprentices.

What are the similarities? First of all, they are all novels with the theme of "travel notes", and the main content is the adventures of the main characters in various places. Secondly, both novels have extremely rich artistic imagination, make extensive use of exaggeration techniques, and are full of rich and wonderful romantic colors, creating a fairy tale-like fantasy world. Both novels imagine some strange countries. Journey to the West has the Kingdom of Women and the Kingdom of Bhikkhus, while Gulliver's Travels has the Kingdom of Adults and the Kingdom of Lilliput.
