A traveler finally walked out of his room and traveled through the city and the wilderness, trying to find the answer to life. The traveler asks about the noisy city, and there are too many answers in the city, which instantly drowns the listening ears; the traveler asks about the scenery in the wilderness, and the wilderness is silent, letting time fly by, and the scenery disappears into the fog.

"I won't get up if you don't give me Tang Monk Meat" mainly analyzes the origin of the "Tang Monk Meat" legend in "Journey to the West", and believes that the King of Gold and Silver Horns is the monster who first explicitly raised this rumor. The article deeply explores the three strange features of this pair of monsters: possessing a portrait of Tang Monk, mastering many magic weapons, and having extensive connections. The author infers that the "Tang Monk Meat" rumor is actually a "serial plan" carefully planned by the Jade Emperor, aiming to use the demons to intercept the opportunity to learn scriptures, weaken the power of the "bureaucrats", support the "real people", and ensure the success of the scriptures. Through plot analysis, the author also reveals the image of Tang Monk as a narcissistic, timid and "cowardly" hypocrite, as well as Sun Wukong's witty but arrogant and cunning side, providing readers with a unique interpretation of the original characters and events.

The work deeply explores the early plot of "Journey to the West": analyzing the formation and integration of the scripture-gathering team. The author A Gong believes that Tang Monk was secretly assisted by Taibai Jinxing before heading west, implying that he was an undercover agent of the "Zhenren Sect". After Sun Wukong was subdued, he elaborated on the deep meaning of killing the "six thieves" to purify the six roots, as well as the discord and contradiction between him and Tang Monk. The addition of Xiao Bailong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng is described as a gathering of abandoned generals from heaven. Among them, the "Gao" surname of Zhu Bajie and Gao Laozhuang is interpreted as the author's satire on Gao Gong, a political figure in the Ming Dynasty. The article repeatedly criticizes Tang Monk for his cowardice, hypocrisy, and tendency to seek the limelight. At the same time, he also analyzes the unique character of Black Bear Monster and Zhen Yuanzi's powerful strength, and believes that Zen Master Wuchao's prophecy has profound meaning, etc. The writing is so imaginative and the interpretation is so refreshing.

The work depicts the adventures and growth of the Buddhist scriptures team as they approach the end. The article details Zhu Bajie's cuteness and rare bravery in the battle of "King of Nanshan", as well as the twists and turns of Princess Tianzhu's transfer in the "Jade Rabbit Spirit" section. The article also interestingly talks about the farce of the Wuji Kingdom. The four masters and disciples caused trouble because of their words, Sun Wukong shaved off all the civil and military officials of the dynasty, and humor was everywhere... When the Tongtian River was blocked, people made things difficult, and Buddhist scriptures were damaged, the author interpreted this as a wonderful response to "the incompleteness of heaven and earth", implying that there is no perfection in the world. In the end, Sun Wukong removed the golden hoop and achieved enlightenment. The full text concludes with a poem, and the topic is sublimated: Journey to the West, seeking Buddhist scriptures is not only about cultivating Buddhism, but also through endless sufferings, realizing the ultimate mystery of the impermanence of worldly affairs and the flow of fate - living is a practice, with no escape and no avoidance.
