Since various versions of the novel "Journey to the West" have a strong literary flavor and are very difficult for primary and secondary school students to read, they have been translated into modern vernacular. Thanks to: Wu Cheng'en, Hui Li, Yan Cong, Li Chunfang, Jia Sanjin, Huayang Dongtian Master and other classic creations, and for providing materials for the creation of classic novel literature. If there are any gaps or errors in the translation, please let me know.
"Journey to the West" is a famous Ming Dynasty novel about gods and demons. It is generally believed that the author is Wu Cheng'en, but there are other theories. The story of "Journey to the West" comes from the adventures of Master Xuanzang in the Tang Dynasty in traveling to the West, as well as various folklore, myths, operas, etc. Master Xuanzang's westward journey was compiled into "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" by his disciple Bianji. This book mainly tells the history, geography and transportation of the countries he saw on the way. Another biography of Master Xuanzang, "The Biography of Master Tripitaka of Great Ci'en Temple in the Tang Dynasty" was written by his disciples Huili and Yancong, which added a lot of mythological color to Xuanzang's experience. The author of "Journey to the West" drew on these historical materials, and also incorporated his own imagination and creativity to create classic characters such as Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, and depict the fantasy adventures of Tang Monk and his disciples who experienced eighty-one difficulties. "Journey to the West" is not only an ancient theme about punishing evil and promoting good, but there are also opinions that "Journey to the West" is a satirical novel that satirizes the power and officialdom.
There are different opinions. Some people think it is Li Chunfang or Jia Sanjin. Therefore, the pen name of the author of the classic novel "Journey to the West" is the Master of Huayang Dongtian, but who exactly is still a mystery.
