Get Out of the Way, the Monkey King is Coming
by A Gong
About This Novel
The work provides an in-depth analysis of the famous "Journey to the West", boldly questions Wu Chengen's authorship, and proposes that Feng Bao, the great eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, might be the real author. Through careful interpretation and analysis, the author points out that the image of Sun Wukong is consistent with the characteristics of eunuchs, such as his "castrated man" setting, as well as the many subtle allusions to Feng Bao's life and his relationship with Emperor Jiajing and the government in the book, especially the many clues found in the "Shidetang version", which support this novel view. In addition, the author A Gong also ranked and analyzed the strength of the immortals and Buddhas in "Journey to the West", and concluded that Taishang Laojun is the most powerful one in the book, believing that his status and ability are far above Tathagata Buddha. The writing is interesting and well worth reading.
