A brief introduction to the characters and classic plots in Journey to the West
Journey to the West was one of the four great Chinese classical novels. It told the story of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Monk Sand, and Tang Sanzang, who went to India to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures after going through 81 difficulties. The following are the characters and classic plot introductions of the four people who learned the scriptures: 1. Sun Wukong: A monkey with supernatural powers was banished to the mortal world because of his disturbance in the Heavenly Palace. After that, he became a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi and learned the Seventy-Two Transformations and Somersault Cloud. On the way to retrieve the scriptures, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Monk Sand worked together and experienced many dangers and difficulties before finally retrieving the scriptures. 2. Zhu Bajie: A pig demon was banished to the mortal world because of causing trouble. After that, he became a disciple of Bodhi and learned transformation and magical powers. On the way to get the scriptures, Zhu Bajie often got into trouble because of his greed and laziness, but he also helped Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong get through difficulties many times. 3. Sand Monk: A sand monk was banished to the mortal world because he violated the rules of heaven. After that, he worshipped Bodhi as his master and learned transformation and magical powers. On the way to get the scriptures, Monk Sand and Sun Wukong cooperated to help Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie overcome many dangers and difficulties. 4. Tang Sanzang: A kind monk was sent by Buddha to India to retrieve Buddhist scriptures. On the way, Tang Sanzang experienced many dangers and difficulties, and also encountered many monsters and demons. However, he always firmly believed in Buddha and finally got back the scriptures. These classic plots were deeply rooted in Chinese culture and were widely praised and sung. They were also classics in the history of Chinese novels.
