This is a deconstruction of the famous work "Journey to the West". Readers who are interested in this classic may wish to read it.
The work is imaginative and full of imagination, revealing 6 unknown "mysteries" that make people marvel:
It reveals the mystery of the author of "Journey to the West". He is not the well-known Wu Cheng'en, but more likely the great eunuch Feng Bao of the Ming Dynasty.
It reveals the mystery of the version. In the Journey to the West, Tang Seng and his disciples are not familiar at all, but a different and subversive performance.
It reveals the mystery of the connotation. The seemingly independent stories of the Nine-Nine-Eighty-One Dilemma actually have precise logical connections, aiming to explain destiny to the world.
It reveals the mystery of the plot, and the unusual plot in the book is actually a political story full of satire.
It reveals the mystery of the characters. It is Tang Monk who cares about trivial matters, but it is Sun Wukong who deeply understands Buddhism. The latter's growth is the core of Journey to the West.
Finally, the mystery of the background is revealed - the various struggles between heavenly officials, Buddha and Taoism, casting a lingering shadow on the story of Journey to the West.
After reading this book, readers will have a hearty and enlightened feeling. By following the classics, but not being superstitious about them, and treating them rationally and with a normal heart, we will eventually understand, love and spread the essence of our culture better.
Reader comments
I think this book is very interesting! It interpreted "Journey to the West" from a novel perspective, allowing me to see another side of the classic. Just like "The Three Kingdoms", it tells historical stories in a humorous and interesting way, which makes people's eyes bright. And the author's point of view is very unique. For example, he said that Tang Monk is the one who is afraid of the easy and the hard, while Sun Wukong is the one who truly understands Buddhism. This really made me rethink these characters. I hate Zhu Bajie in "Journey to the West" the most. He is always lazy and greedy, but the analysis of him in this book is also very interesting. All in all, this book is both in-depth and interesting. I recommend you read it!
It's very well written, I was fascinated by it. [Love][love]

The analysis makes sense, but I'm still confused [exploration]
