Extended information:
"Journey to the West" is the first romantic chapter-length novel about gods and demons in ancient China. None of the 100 copies of "Journey to the West" published in the Ming Dynasty are signed by the author. Wu Yuji, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, first proposed that the author of "Journey to the West" was Wu Cheng'en in the Ming Dynasty. This novel is based on the historical event of Tang Monk's Buddhist scriptures. Through the author's artistic processing, it profoundly depicts the social reality at that time. The whole book mainly describes the story of Sun Wukong's birth and the turmoil in the Heavenly Palace, and his meeting with Tang Monk, Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk, and his journey to the west. He learned the scriptures, subdued demons along the way, experienced ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, and finally reached the Western Heaven to see Tathagata Buddha, and finally the Five Saints came true.
