This is a book that interprets "Journey to the West" for teenagers. The famous scholar Li Tianfei has focused on the study of "Journey to the West" for many years and has accumulated references from thousands of documents. However, his articles on interpreting the classics do not exaggerate or make jokes, but use humor and down-to-earth methods to popularize culture.
This book is divided into seven categories: pilgrims, heavenly palace, human world, underworld, and demon world. In view of the issues that have interested young readers in recent years, the author extends and expands the knowledge of these contents and puts forward his own unique viewpoints. For example, why were some mounts taken back and some killed? Why did Patriarch Bodhi cut off relations with Sun Wukong?
How big a god is Marshal Tianpeng? The answers can be found in this book. Under Li Tianfei's interpretation, "Journey to the West" is no longer one of the "four great classics" for fighting monsters throughout, but a timeless spiritual nourishment. Young people can not only learn a lot of knowledge about history and traditional culture, but also truly understand the spirit of Journey to the West: hard work and enterprising, perseverance, never give up, and optimism.

I think this book is really good! Teacher Li Tianfei's interpretation was humorous and rich in content, which gave me a deeper understanding of "Journey to the West". In particular, his analysis of the character's behavior is very interesting. For example, he explained why some mounts were recovered and some were killed, which made me suddenly understand. This book can also help us learn a lot of historical and traditional cultural knowledge. It is really a good book worth recommending!
