Journey to the West was a fictional novel written by the Ming Dynasty novelist Wu Chengen. Although it is regarded as a classic literary work in many cultures, it has not been verified as a historical record of true events. The Journey to the West tells the story of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Monk Sand, and Tang Sanzang (otherwise known as the "Journey to the West") who went to India to retrieve Buddhist scriptures. Many of the scenes, characters, and plots in this story were based on imagination and fiction rather than historical facts.

The proportion of 'Journey to the West' based on a true story is somewhat hard to define precisely. The starting point of a monk traveling to India for scriptures is real. But then, when it comes to the details, the story is full of fictional elements. For example, the character of Sun Wukong is a complete creation of the author's imagination. Overall, I would say around a quarter of the story might be related to the real - life journey of Xuanzang in terms of the basic plot structure, while the rest is a rich tapestry of fictional adventures, moral teachings, and cultural expressions.

After that, he was tricked by Princess Iron Fan into going to the Heavenly Palace to complain. The Jade Emperor listened to the slanderous rumors and bestowed the title of "Fighting Buddha" on Sun Wukong, and took the Jingu Staff away to let him return to Huaguo Mountain. After that, Sun Wukong was tricked by the Bull Demon King and the demons of the Demon King's Stronghold into going to the production area of Princess Iron Fan's banana fan to snatch it. Sun Wukong had a fierce battle with the Bull Demon King and the demons in the Demon King's Stronghold and finally obtained the Jingu Staff. After that, Sun Wukong had a conflict with the Dragon King and the immortals of the Heavenly Palace and finally discovered the true identity of Princess Iron Fan. After that, Sun Wukong challenged the Jade Emperor to take back the Jingu Bang. The Jade Emperor sent heavenly troops to the Flowerfruit Mountain, but they were defeated by Sun Wukong. Later, Sun Wukong learned that Princess Iron Fan was colluding with Buddha, so he went to the Western Heaven to ask Buddha for help. The Buddha sent Guan Yin Bodhisattva to investigate the matter and finally found that Princess Iron Fan was in cahoots with demons. He released Sun Wukong back to the Huaguo Mountain. After that, Sun Wukong, Princess Iron Fan, Bull Demon King, and others launched a new struggle and finally defeated the monster to take back the Jingu Staff. After that, Sun Wukong fought a righteous battle with the Dragon King and the immortals and finally won.
