"Journey to the West" chapters 1 - 4 reading notes: ** The first chapter: Spiritual Root Nurtures the Source, and the Mind Cultivates the Great Way to Life ** This time, it was the beginning of the whole story, showing a magical beginning. In the Flowerfruit Mountain in the Sea of Aolai Nation of the Eastern Victory Divine Continent, a stone monkey was born. The Flowerfruit Mountain had a beautiful environment and was rich in natural resources. The fact that the Stone Monkey was born in such an environment hinted at its extraordinary background. The stone monkey was supported by the group of monkeys as the queen. It was not content with the status quo and showed a desire to explore the unknown. It passed through Nanshanxun Island to Xiniuhezhou, climbed the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, entered the Crescent Three Stars Cave, worshipped the founder Bodhi as its master, and was given the name Sun Wukong. This time, it depicted the structure of a mythical world full of mystery. The birth of the stone monkey was full of fantasy. The process of it leaving the Flowerfruit Mountain to seek the Dao reflected its pursuit of immortality and a higher realm. ** The second chapter: Comprehending Bodhi's wonderful truth, breaking the devil and returning to the original, and combining the primordial spirit ** Wukong began to learn from the founder, learning the way to immortality, the seventy-two transformations, and the "Somersault Cloud" and other powerful skills. However, because he was showing off his skills, he was expelled from the cave. This reflected some characteristics of Wukong's character. He was smart and had high comprehension, but at the same time, he was young and frivolous and did not know how to restrain himself. After returning to the Flowerfruit Mountain, he learned that the Flowerfruit Mountain was occupied by demons. He fought with the demons and won. This showed that he was very capable and had a strong desire to protect his territory and the monkeys. ** The third chapter: All the four seas and thousands of mountains bow down to the Nine Nether and the ten types are all removed ** Wukong's actions began to affect the existing order. He had asked the Dragon King for the 13,500-jin Golden Cudgel. This weapon had become his iconic weapon, and it also hinted that he would set off greater waves in the future story. After that, he crossed off the names of the monkeys in the Book of Life and Death in the Nether World. This was a challenge to the rules of life and death. His behavior caused dissatisfaction between the Dragon King and the King of Hell. The two asked the Jade Emperor to capture the demon monkey, and the Jade Emperor sent the Taibai Jinxing to appease Wukong. This plot revealed a way for the Heavenly Court to respond to Wukong's behavior, and also laid the foreshadowing for the subsequent plot development. ** The fourth chapter: Official Feng Bi, Ma Xin, What's the Name? Note: The Heaven's Will Is Unsettled ** Wukong became an official of the " Ma Wen ", but he soon learned that this official was a low-level official, so he returned to Huaguo Mountain in anger. This plot reflected Wukong's importance to his status and his resistance to unfair treatment. The Jade Emperor ordered Heavenly King Li and his son Prince Nezha to capture Wukong, but they were defeated by Wukong. After that, Venus came to recruit Wukong again and built the Great Sage's Mansion. This time, the conflict between Wukong and the Heavenly Court gradually deepened. He was dissatisfied with the official position given by the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court had no choice but to recruit him. The conflict between the two had already begun to show, indicating a large-scale confrontation in the future.

When he returned to Huaguo Mountain, he found that he had been invaded by demons. Wukong fought with the demons and won.

Journey to the West was a classic work full of fantasy and profound meaning. The following are the reading notes of the 100 chapters: ** I. Overall impression and theme discussion ** Journey to the West was centered around the Buddhist monk and his disciples who went to the west to obtain the scriptures. After going through 81 difficulties, they finally obtained the true scriptures. In terms of theme, it was not only an adventure legend, but also contained profound Buddhist thoughts and human philosophy. The process of learning the scriptures symbolized the tempering and growth of people in the pursuit of their goals, reflecting the respect for justice, faith, wisdom, and perseverance. ** 2. Character Analysis ** 1. ** Sun Wukong ** - Sun Wukong was the most dazzling character in the book. His martial arts skills were strong and he had remarkable abilities. From the time he was born as a stone monkey to the time he created havoc in the Heavenly Palace after learning martial arts, he had displayed his spirit of resistance. For example, he dared to challenge the authority of the Heavenly Court and was fearless when facing the encirclement of the Heavenly Army. - During the journey, his personality had become more mature. He was still brave, as if he was always at the front when facing all kinds of demons and monsters. But at the same time, he also learned to restrain himself. Although Tang Sanzang had wronged him many times, he still cared about the relationship between master and disciple. For example, after the three White Bone Demons were driven back to Huaguo Mountain, he still came back to save Tang Sanzang. His wisdom was also constantly being displayed. For example, when he was fighting with demons, he could often come up with ingenious strategies. 2. ** Tang Monk ** - Tang Sanzang was the core figure of the Buddhist team. He was determined and devoted to Buddhism. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles he encountered, he would not change his determination to obtain Buddhist scriptures. From the Tang of the East to the west, facing countless temptations and dangers, he had always held fast to his beliefs. - However, he also had his own weaknesses. He had eyes of flesh and blood, so he could not distinguish the disguise of a demon. He often blamed Sun Wukong wrongly, such as in the case of Baijing Gu. His kindness was used by the demon, causing conflicts between master and disciple. 3. ** Pigsy ** - Zhu Bajie had a complicated personality. He had a simple and honest side. He could play a certain role in battle and occasionally adapt to the situation. For example, when he tried to persuade Sun Wukong to return, he could figure out Sun Wukong's psychology and make up suitable words. - However, his shortcomings were also very obvious. He was lazy, greedy, lecherous, and liked to take advantage of others. In Wuzhuang Taoist Temple, he instigated Sun Wukong to steal the ginseng fruit, and he was lazy and slept while patrolling the mountain. All these plots reflected his shortcomings. 4. ** Monk Sand ** - Friar Sand worked hard and was loyal. He always silently took on the responsibility of carrying the burden and other logistical work, playing a stabilizing role in the team. He was kind-hearted and took into account the overall situation. He never had any fierce conflicts with other members. Although he lacked his own opinions and was too honest, his existence ensured the harmony of the team. ** 3. Plot Analysis ** 1. ** The foreshadowing of previous episodes ** - The first few chapters mainly talked about Sun Wukong's birth, his learning, and his life in Huaguo Mountain. He became the Monkey King from the Stone Monkey, and then traveled across the sea to learn martial arts in order to pursue immortality. After he returned, he made a big fuss in the Dragon Palace, the Nether World, and the Heavenly Palace. These plots laid the foundation for him to be suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain and to follow the Tang Sanzang to learn scriptures. His diligence in the process of learning and his desire for longevity showed his proactive side. 2. ** The hardships on the way to learn the scriptures ** - There were many kinds of tribulations on the way to the scriptures, and the story of Bai Jing was very typical. The White Bone Demon transformed into human form three times in an attempt to deceive the Tang Priest into believing it and capturing him. This plot not only tested Sun Wukong's fiery eyes, but also highlighted the Tang Priest's kindness and pedantry, and Zhu Bajie's provocation. There was also Red Boy's incident. Red Boy's True Samadhi Fire was so powerful that even Sun Wukong found it difficult to withstand it. In the end, he had to rely on the power of Guan Yin Bodhisattva to subdue Red Boy. This showed that the demons on the way to obtain the scriptures had their own divine powers, and Tang Sanzang and his disciples needed to rely on various forces to overcome the difficulties. 3. ** Later sublimation ** - As the journey progressed, the relationship between Tang Sanzang and his disciples became closer, and their personalities continued to grow. In the later stages, when they faced the threat of the carp spirit at the Tongtian River, they could cooperate with each other. Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie went into the water to fight, and Monk Sand protected Tang Sanzang. This tacit understanding of teamwork reflected their growth. In the end, they arrived at the western paradise to obtain the true scripture, which also symbolized their success and sublimation after experiencing hardships. ** 4. Art features ** 1. ** Magical imagination ** - Journey to the West was full of fantasy. The demons and ghosts depicted in the book had different forms and magical spells. For example, Sun Wukong's Seventy-Two Transformations, the Somersault Cloud, and the various demonic techniques of the demons. These fantasy elements constructed a unique mythological world that immersed the readers. 2. ** Humorous words ** - The language in the book was humorous, especially some of Zhu Bajie's words, deeds, and conversations. His gluttony, laziness, and other behaviors were often accompanied by some funny descriptions, which added a relaxed atmosphere to the tense process of learning the scriptures. 3. ** Circulation and progression in structure ** - In terms of structure, every time Tang Sanzang and his disciples encountered demons, they experienced hardships, were captured, and rescued, the plot had a certain degree of repetition. However, every hardship had a new progression in the character's character and team relationship, making the story continue to develop. ** 5. Cultural Connotation and Value ** 1. ** Religious culture ** - The book contained a rich Buddhist culture. Tang Sanzang and his disciples were the embodiment of the spread of Buddhist culture, and during the journey, they also involved Taoist immortals and other elements. For example, Sun Wukong's contact with Taoist immortals in the process of learning skills, as well as many monsters and plots related to Buddhism and Taoism later, reflected the cultural phenomenon of the integration of Buddhism and Taoism at that time. 2. ** The reflection of society and humanity ** - Journey to the West also reflected the social reality and human nature at that time. For example, the problem of demons 'backers. Demons with backers were often taken away by their masters, while demons without backers were killed. This hinted at the interpersonal relationships and power relationships in society. At the same time, the personalities of Tang Sanzang and his disciples also reflected different types of human nature, such as Sun Wukong's resistance, Tang Sanzang's pedantry, Zhu Bajie's secular, and Monk Sand's honesty. After reading 100 chapters of Journey to the West, one could understand this great work from many angles.
