About This Novel

"Journey to the West" was produced in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty (1522-1566 AD) in the 16th century and has been circulated in the form of scripts. Wu Chengen wrote the first draft in his middle age based on the content of the script, and further refined it in his later years. Wu Chengen's greatest creation was to change the original story, which was mainly about Tang Monk's Buddhist scriptures, into a story about Sun Wukong's battle against heaven and earth. "Journey to the West" is a classic Chinese novel about gods and demons. It has reached the pinnacle of ancient romantic novels. It has a hundred chapters in total. It mainly tells the story of the Monkey King Sun Wukong defeating demons and protecting Monk Tang on his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. "Journey to the West" can be divided into three parts: The first part (chapters 1-7) narrates the origin and experience of Sun Wukong, explaining that he was supported as king by the monkeys, became an immortal, made trouble in the heaven, and was subdued by Tathagata Buddha and suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain. The second part (chapter 8-12) describes the origin of Tang Monk's Buddhist scriptures, including Tathagata Buddha's creation of scriptures, Tang Monk's birth, Wei Zheng slaying the dragon, Tang Taizong's journey to the underworld, Tang Monk's setting out to collect Buddhist scriptures in response to an imperial edict, etc. The third part (chapters 13-100) describes the process of obtaining the scriptures. This is the main body of the book. It mainly describes the three brothers of Sun Wukong who protected Tang Monk on his journey to the West to obtain the scriptures. They went through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties and finally successfully obtained the true scriptures.

This is the second time I watched it People, no matter what they do, they have to go through their own eighty-one difficulties. They may encounter three dozen white-bone spirits, or they may encounter many difficulties such as Xiao Leiyin, but they should still keep in mind the instructions of the Duo Heart Sutra, and they will eventually grow into a Buddha who stands tall and indomitable.

On when did Brother Monkey start to lie down?

I think we should start from Pingdingshan... In the early days, Brother Monkey tended to solve problems by himself, and he was indeed at that level. Not many disaster brothers could withstand his blow. The Little White Dragon, Pig, Bajie Sha and Monk all came out to wash the floor after finishing dealing with Guanyin... If you can stand it, you can think of a way to change the angle and use a stick to solve it. For example, when I went to Pingding Mountain and met a golden horn and a silver horn that had supernatural powers and treasures, I ate them a few times and became deflated without shaking him (or I didn't even think of shaking him). I took the initiative and collected them all, and all the treasures were confiscated as trophies. In the end, Laojun just went down to earth and not only rescued the two troublemakers from Brother Monkey's stick, but also recovered all the loot, leaving not even the belt to Brother Monkey. Since then, Brother Monkey has become a crispy chicken. Anyone who can shout out that he is Bi Mawen will give up after a few fake beatings. He will tell others to watch the fight, and after the business blows are exchanged... If you can't shout out, there is no background. Then you can see a Monkey Brother who is unambiguous in the early stages of the renaissance of the stick. The demons and ghosts in Pingdingshan did not hit Brother Monkey, but the severe beatings from society really allowed Brother Monkey to make up for the political acumen education that had been missing for 500 years.

This was written in the Ming Dynasty. The next dynasty after the Ming Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty, then the Republic of China, and then China, so the content is a little different from the original work, for sure. After all, the things in the original work that couldn't pass the review had to be deleted.
