The real name of the little white dragon in Journey to the West has not been officially confirmed yet. However, according to some novel forums and social media discussions, it was generally believed that the little white dragon's real name was Golden Horned King.
The little white dragon in Journey to the West was eventually named Marshal Canopy.
In the original novel of Journey to the West, the name of the little white dragon was not specified. Although some people said that he was called Ao Lie, there was no definite basis for this. We usually called him the little white dragon. The novel " White Dragon of the Dragon Clan " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
The little white dragon was the son of Ao Run of the West Sea. He was sued by his father to the Heavenly Court for setting fire to the pearl in the hall. He should have been executed, but he was saved by the intercession of Guan Yin Bodhisattva. He went to Tang Sanzang's side to do leg strength to atone for his sins. Although he was one of the members of the Buddhist scriptures team, he was still a member of the Heavenly Court system (the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court) and was a sinner. Therefore, his situation was different from that of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing. When Sun Wukong stole the ginseng fruit, he did not steal the fruit for the little white dragon. This was because the little white dragon was guilty and was being watched by the Heavenly Court. Sun Wukong considered the subtle relationship between himself and the Heavenly Court. The possibility of stealing another fruit was higher, and it might mess up the matter of stealing the fruit, so he did not steal the fruit for the little white dragon.

In Journey to the West, the little white dragon was eventually given the title of Marshal Canopy. This was a famous Taoist god who was considered the head of the water officials. He was in charge of lakes, rivers, and other waters. The little white dragon had once provided important help to Tang Sanzang and his party on the way to the scriptures and played an important role in the final battle. Therefore, he had received the honor of Marshal Canopy.
The little white dragon in Journey to the West was called Xu Jingyang. He was an old dragon who had cultivated the Fiery Eyes spell.
The little white dragon in Journey to the West didn't directly mention that he had an elder brother, but his elder brother was a character called " Red Cloud Palace Master Dragon God." In Journey to the West, dragons were a mysterious and powerful creature with extremely high cultivation and strength. Therefore, the Red Cloud Palace Master, the Dragon God, was also a very powerful character.
The little white dragon was the son of Ao Run of the West Sea. He was sued by his father to the Heavenly Court for setting fire to the pearl in the hall. He should have been executed, but he was saved by the intercession of Guan Yin Bodhisattva. He was still in a sinful body and belonged to the Heavenly Court system. Among the four disciples of Tang Sanzang, the special thing about the little white dragon was that he did not become a formal disciple like Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing. This was because the other three disciples of Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, were outside the Heavenly Court system and Buddhism. Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were expelled from the Heavenly Court system by the Heavenly Court as demons because of their mistakes. Therefore, they could become official disciples of Tang Sanzang and enter Buddhism. As for the little white dragon, because the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, although he kept his life, he still belonged to the Heavenly Court system, so he could not officially join Buddhism. The primary purpose of him following Tang Sanzang to the west was to atone for his sins and make contributions. However, in the end, the little White Dragon also chose to officially enter the Buddhist Sect. During the journey, the little white dragon transformed into Tang Sanzang's leg strength and silently participated in the journey to the Western Paradise in the form of a white dragon horse.

The little white dragon claimed to be the son of the West Sea Dragon King Ao Run, but there were many signs that he was not the biological son of the West Sea Dragon King. Just like some hints in the original novel and the Tathagata's statement, after the little white dragon succeeded in obtaining the scriptures, his title was " Eight Heavenly Dragons Guangli Bodhisattva ". The word " Guangli " might be his original name. The Tathagata called him the son of " Guangjin Dragon King ", so it was speculated that his original surname was Guang instead of Ao. He might be similar to the godson or adopted son of the West Sea Dragon King Ao Run. This could also explain the indifference of the West Sea Dragon King and his family towards him. The little white dragon had a tragic life. When he appeared, he was waiting to die in the Eagle Sorrow Stream because he violated the heavenly rules. He claimed that he had set fire to the pearl in the hall and was reported to the Heavenly Court by his father. The Jade Emperor hung him up and beat him three hundred times. Soon, he would be killed. However, the Tathagata said that he had violated his father's orders and committed the crime of unfilial piety. There was a difference between the two crimes. The little white dragon might have been a golden dragon with golden scales all over its body, but it turned into a white dragon after its horns were cut off and its scales were removed due to the violation of the heavenly rules. Before he transformed from a dragon into a horse, his pearl had been plucked by Guanyin, causing him to lose his inner core, causing him to lose all his magic power and his combat strength to be greatly reduced. After he succeeded in obtaining the scriptures, he jumped into the Dragon Transformation Pool on the Spirited Mountain and transformed back into a golden dragon. However, after he was conferred the title of Bodhisattva, he could only be restricted to the pillar of the Sky Tower. There was also a speculation that the father of the little white dragon might be the previous West Sea Dragon King. The throne was taken by the Ao family, and Ao Run did not immediately deal with the little white dragon after taking the throne. The novel " White Dragon of the Dragon Clan " is equally exciting.
