What is a "heart ape"

This school year, under the guidance of the teacher, the students are reading the famous The Journey to the West. One of the questions has been puzzling us: what does the "heart ape" often appear in headline articles mean? Is it as simple as just referring to the Monkey King?

The seventh time, "The Great Sage escaped from the Eight Diagrams Furnace, and the Five Elements Mountain made up his mind to be an ape-man", "Good Great Sage, he jumped out in a hurry, was turned over by the Buddha, pushed the Monkey King out of the West Gate, and turned his five fingers into five mountains of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, which he called" Five Elements Mountain ",and gently held down. I think the Five Elements Mountain has suppressed Wukong's body, even more. The evil force in the heart was suppressed, so the title said that Wuxing Mountain was determined to be an ape, which was the Monkey King's unruly heart at that time. In the eighth episode, it is even more certain that Wukong and Bodhisattva said that they have known repentance, which is a deal. Even in the fourteenth time, "the heart is turned over a new leaf, and the six thieves are absent", Wukong repented and turned over a new leaf and joined Buddhism, which is the inner reform.

Episode 30: "Evil spirits invade the law, which means that Ma Ji is ape-hearted." After Bai was injured and fled, he remembered Wukong's goodness, evil and evil, so he sent Bajie to find Wukong. Xiaolong said, "You should drive back to Guo Hua as early as possible and call Brother Monkey Sun." . He still has great power to subdue demons. Please help Master. "That's what I said.

In episode 46, "Evil practices deceive righteousness, and the mind shows the virtuous and destroys all evils", the Monkey King designed to help Tang Priest "show the virtuous on the ladder" and blocked "guessing chess pieces" and won every time. In the end, I gambled with the Three Kingdoms Division to behead, gut and oil, and all won, but the Three Kingdoms Division died, indicating that Wukong used the strategy in the right direction to protect the Tang Priest. "Heart ape" means that he has a heart and a plan.

Therefore, "heart ape" refers not only to Wukong, but also to Wukong's heart. Whether his heart turned to justice, the good and evil in his heart, or just trying to solve problems with his heart, all these are the embodiment of the Monkey King's inner world.
