Although the original author, Master Wu Chengen, was from the Ming Dynasty, Journey to the West should be set in the Tang Dynasty. The three-inch golden lotus is described in it, and foot binding should only become widespread in the Sui Dynasty. In addition, in the novel Journey to the West, Tang Monk grew up in a temple because his parents died, and became a monk at Jinshan Temple. Later, he moved to the temple in the capital and was selected by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to worship him and go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. But in real history, Tang Monk Xuanzang became a monk in Pure Land Temple. Therefore, the author believes that this masterpiece is not a historical realistic novel, but a mythological and fantasy novel. Therefore, the tone is also positioned as the tone of the original work. I hope everyone will like it.
This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
