About This Novel
This book tells the story of Xuanzang, who visited famous teachers after becoming a monk, traveled to the West to seek Dharma, returned to China after completing his studies, and wrote the story of his journey to the West as "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty". With the support of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang organized a translation field and took advantage of his linguistic advantages in both Chinese and Sanskrit to translate more than 70 Buddhist scriptures and more than 1,000 volumes, ushering in a new era in the history of Buddhist scripture translation. Xuanzang's journey to the west made important contributions to ancient China's cultural exchanges and the absorption of foreign cultures.
