Synopsis

"Journey to the West" was written around the middle of the Ming Dynasty in my country in the 1670s. It, together with the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" that appeared earlier than it, and later "The Scholars" and "Dream of Red Mansions", are the most representative and most famous novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in my country. "Journey to the West" is based on Xuanzang's experience of seeking Buddhist scriptures in the Tang Dynasty. After artistic processing by the novelist, it has become a complete and vivid novel.

Reader comments

I especially like Sun Wukong, his phrase "My old grandson is here" is so cool! There are also wonderful descriptions of various monsters in the book, such as the white-bone spirit and the spider spirit, which made me read with gusto. Every time I get tired from delivering express, I think about Sun Wukong's magical power and feel that I have strength. This book is really worth reading!

Anyway, it's exciting , one chapter in the appendix should be deleted, and the preface to Chen Yuanzhi's Journey to the West should be retained at the beginning of the volume.
