The Journey to the West is China's classical mystery novel and one of China's "Four Classical Novels". The book was written in the middle of the Ming Dynasty in the16th century, and it is generally believed that the author was Wu Cheng'en of the Ming Dynasty. The book tells the story of Tang Sanzang's four disciples learning from the West, showing the ancient theme of punishing evil and promoting good. The Journey to the West added the concept of longevity to the book as the purpose of learning from the scriptures; In The Journey to the West, there is no such concept as an alchemist. [19] Buddhist scriptures have become the embodiment of cultivating immortals. The process of obtaining Buddhist scriptures implies the difficulties and uncertainties encountered by Taoist priests in their practice, the constant struggle with "mind wandering" or physical pain, and the danger of being possessed. In the geography of mountains and rivers in the novel, there are symbols of human organs, such as "sparse similarity" compared with colon and "jiajiguan" compared with spinal cord. This novel is "a gradual expression of the whole truth." [20] Wu Zhangzi and Chen Zibin commented on the book Journey to the West, saying: Journey to the West is about "Then Avenue"; Liu's annotation on The Journey to the West's original intention also inherited this view, saying that "specializing in natural principles and cultivating truth, refining inner alchemy, and proving the road will lead to immortality." Early The Journey to the West was regarded as a "single crystal" to explain the "paradox" (that is, internal alchemy). [2 1] Australian Liu Cunren found that the words such as "Gong Jin", "Mu Mu", "Huang Po", "Shen Yuan" and "slave girl" quoted in The Journey to the West all came from Quan Zhen's internal alchemy theory. Many verse works are from Taoist classics, such as the introduction in the eighth sentence, that is, Feng Zunshi wrote Su Wuman's fifth poem "Ask Zen Guan, ask too many questions" in Volume II of Echoing the Crane; In the fiftieth time, I quoted Ma Yu's "Nan Kezi, Give Friends to All Taoists", "Be diligent in sweeping, and be cautious in removing dust"; In chapter 91, I quoted "Swiss partridge, giving it to the public" and "whoever needs time to practice, the evil ape will cut it quickly"; In the thirty-sixth chapter, I quoted "Xijiang Moon" in Zhang Boduan's Wuzhen Chapter, "After the first string, before Hou Xian"; The 78-year-old husband's great words of self-respect were born in more than nine poems, such as The Echoes of Singing Crane. In the thirty-sixth session, disciples such as Wukong taught the Tang Priest the method of "innate cultivation", and combined the ideas of Zhouyi Shentongqi, Zhang Boduan Wuzhen Pian and Quanzhen Religion. [Li Angang also said that living in Gui Zhi is the cultural prototype of Journey to the West, and Chapter 8 1 of Teacher's Gui Ben is the prototype of Tang Priest in Journey to the West. [24] For example, the function of "the Monkey King" mainly refers to "people's heart". For example, in the seventh time in the book, it is proposed that "the body of the ape is in harmony with the human heart, and the heart is the profound meaning of the ape". Volume 31: The Sutra is the General Way of Practice, and the Buddha matches his own Yuan God, which implies that the "Buddha" in our story refers to the Yuan God in Inner alchemy. On the ninety-ninth time in The Journey to the West, the True Sutra obtained by Tang Priest was wordless, and the Tathagata pointed out: "A blank scroll is a true sutra without words." The true scripture is "the general way of practicing" and "the true scripture has no words". It can be seen from the poem "Song of the True Classics" written by Taoist Lv Dongbin that "the True Classics have no words, which can make all living beings rich", showing the essence and vitality. When you practice Inner alchemy, you become refined and energetic, which can meet the needs of Shen Yuan. There are a lot of Buddhist words in Journey to the West, such as four continents, buddhas and bodhisattvas. And the story is to learn from the scriptures, but it has the characteristics of double cultivation of Taoist life and stressing yin and yang and five elements. , and has the color of Taoist inner alchemy. Buddhism is based on seeing nature, while Taoism is based on practicing life, which is internal work; The contribution of Confucianism to WTO and its external contribution. The Journey to the West was formed under the thought of "three religions and one religion", but some scholars think it is a tendency of "worshipping Buddhism and restraining Taoism". [26] Liu Cunren even speculated that "before The Journey to the West appeared in Jinling Shidetang in the 20th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty, there was a Quanzhen Jiaoben in The Journey to the West. This assumption is very likely. Ironically, the so-called metaphor, innuendo, the protagonist "the Monkey King" in the novel is set as a monkey, not a human being, that is to say, although he is similar to the human body, he is not a human being and is still regarded as an alien. This means that in the Ming Dynasty, although he was an official, he was excluded by other corrupt officials. Although the Monkey King was misunderstood and accused by monks for many times, he was angry, but he finally came back to save him at a critical moment, which showed that his loyal minister was framed, but it still did not damage his loyalty and patriotism to the monarch. Secondly, Pig Eight Rings plays the corrupt villain on your side, Tang Sanzang plays the fatuous emperor, and Sha Wujing plays the silently bullied people. In the process of novels, Zhu Bajie often fawns on Tang Sanzang, but he also often maliciously slanders the Monkey King (excluding good ministers), and frequently oppresses Sha Wujing who joined the pilgrimage team later than him (bad officials oppress the people), while Tang Sanzang's reaction is often to trust Zhu Bajie and misunderstand. In the Textual Research, Hu Shi said: "The reason why Journey to the West can become an absurd fairy tale in the world is that all kinds of myths in Journey to the West have a little humor, which can make people smile, and this kind of smile humanizes myths. This kind of humor contains sharp cynicism. This is where The Journey to the West's literary value lies ... People who have read The Journey to the West for hundreds of years are too smart to understand the extremely simple humor and cynical spirit, and all want to look for a "subtle sense of justice" through the back of the paper, so they put a The Journey to the West in the robes of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism; So I can't help but point out with my silly eyes that Journey to the West has a gradual evolution history of hundreds of years; It is pointed out that this book comes from folklore and myth, and there is no "subtle meaning" to say. At most, it is just a funny novel, a fairy tale. " At the same time, it points out that the Monkey King originated from Indian mythology. "The story of Monkey Walker does get hints from the myth of Yuan, but it is unknown. I always suspected that this magical monkey was not made in China, but imported from India. Even the myth of Wu Zhiqi may be imitated under Indian influence. 」

Wuzhishan Mountain in The Journey to the West
It's the palm of Tathagata's hand
The Monkey King is a five-element mountain, which has changed from Tathagata to water, fire and earth in Jin Mu. The Journey to the West said that since Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, this mountain has appeared on earth.
It is also said that this mountain was renamed Liangjieshan when the Tang Dynasty conquered the western regions and established the country.
However, Sidingguo was not seen in the official history.
Those who can be admitted to the two boundary mountains can only be found in the Yunnan tour part of Xu Xiake's travel notes.

The word Wuzhishan comes from The Journey to the West. I won't repeat the details. Saying that someone can't escape from your Wuzhishan means that although someone has great ability/skill, his every move is within your estimation; Never get out of your control.
Wuzhishan is the palm of Tathagata.
It contains five elements of fire, water and earth in Jin Mu.
It means that nothing in the world can escape the five elements.
So no matter how fast the Monkey King flies.
None of them can escape from the Tathagata, who has taught Zuo Wukong how to escape.
Is to help Tang Sanzang get the Western Classics.
Learn from the west and suffer on the way.
Feel the world.
Suffering for a lifetime, transcending the cycle of the five elements.
Really enter the realm of immortals.
Therefore, the headband made of gold and steel naturally falls off.
Because I got the order.

Wuzhishan Mountain in The Journey to the West

Throughout the ages, geography is inconsistent.
Therefore, there should be no such mountains in reality. In addition, there are Wuzhishan in the real world, but it has the same name as Wuzhishan in The Journey to the West, which probably has nothing to do with it. Wuzhishan Mountain in Hsinchu, located at the junction of Beipu, Zhudong and Wufeng sanxiang town, is named after the undulating peaks like five fingers. During the Japanese occupation, Wuzhishan was selected as one of the twelve scenic spots in Taiwan Province Province. Wuzhishan Mountain is very popular with mountain friends, and it is listed as the Little White Moon in Taiwan Province Province, and also selected as one of the top 100 famous mountains in Taiwan Province Province. There is also Wuzhishan, but it is in Hainan. Wuzhishan in Hainan (hereinafter referred to as Wuzhishan) is the highest mountain range in Hainan Island. It is located in the middle of Hainan Island, and it is named after the undulating terrain like five fingers. It is one of the famous mountains in China. The highest peak of Wuzhishan is two branches, between the first peak and the second peak, with an altitude of 1867 meters. The rivers generated by Wuzhishan radiate, roll in all directions to Hainan Island, and finally flow into the sea. One of the famous rivers is Wanquan River, which flows into the South China Sea from west to east.
