[Lectures on Traditional Chinese Studies]
"Journey to the West" is Wu Chengen's autobiography: and the five characters in the Buddhist scripture-seeking team are actually five age groups in life. In your childhood, you were the White Dragon Horse; in your youth, you were Sun Wukong; in your middle age, you were Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha; when you mature, you will eventually become Monk Tang.
▲The entire theme told by Wu Chengen in "Journey to the West" is a "Heart Sutra": all the stories added up are a Buddhist proof, and the proof is empty. Everything is ultimately empty.
▲Understand "Journey to the West" and understand Buddhist and Taoist life: here there is history, Buddhism, culture, reflection, and various aspects of life.
▲This book about God: It is not a fairy tale, it is a completely different Journey to the West, which will subvert your understanding.
"Journey to the West" is the most fantasy and interesting among the four classic literary masterpieces. It has always been loved by people of all ages. Different people can find their own needs and pleasures. This classic contains a large amount of knowledge related to Taoism and Buddhism, as well as a lot of wisdom and philosophy in life, and even some practical cultivation methods of Taoism and Buddhism. At the same time, "Journey to the West" has left some "unsolved mysteries" for future generations, allowing future generations to continue to think about it and interpret it from various angles. This is one of the differences between literary masterpieces and those literary works used purely for entertainment.
