"Thoughts on Reading Journey to the West" Journey to the West was one of the four famous novels in ancient China. It told the story of Tang Sanzang and his disciples who went to the West to obtain scriptures and finally achieved success after going through eighty-one difficulties. After reading this book, I was deeply moved. In the book, the four masters and disciples had different personalities, each with their own characteristics. Sun Wukong was very capable. His bravery and loyalty were admirable. He never retreated when faced with demons and monsters. He was always the first to rush forward to protect his master. His Fiery Golden Eyes could see through a demon's disguise, and the Seventy-Two Transformations made it impossible for demons to guard against it. However, he was often misunderstood by Tang Sanzang. Even so, his loyalty to Tang Sanzang had never changed. Tang Sanzang was a compassionate person. His kindness was sometimes used by demons, but his determination to seek the Buddha and the scriptures never wavered. Although Zhu Bajie was greedy, lazy, and liked to take advantage of others, he also brought a lot of fun to the team and could play a role at critical moments. Friar Sand was honest and hardworking. He silently took on the task of carrying the burden and was a stable existence in the team. From their journey, I understood many things. Teamwork was crucial. Everyone had their own strengths and weaknesses. Only by cooperating with each other and exerting their strengths could they overcome difficulties. At the same time, we must have a firm belief in pursuing our goals. Like the four of them, we must not be afraid of difficulties and dangers and march forward bravely. Just like how we encounter all kinds of "monsters" in our studies and life, as long as we have a firm belief and unite as one, we will definitely be able to defeat them and achieve success. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
In the eighth chapter of Journey to the West, the Tathagata subdued Wukong and returned to Leiyin Temple to preach. Then he wanted to save all living beings and ordered Guanyin to go to the East to find a Buddhist monk. On the way, Guanyin accepted Monk Sha, Bajie and others as disciples to wait for the Buddhist scriptures to be retrieved. From the perspective of Tathagata, he displayed the image of a wise and compassionate leader. He casually described the matter of subduing Wukong, reflecting his low profile and calmness. He did not show off his great achievements. He took out five treasures to give to the Buddhist scriptures. Three of them were used to restrain disciples who might not be obedient. This was similar to the need for a leader to have a certain amount of control when managing employees to ensure that the goal was achieved. As the executor, Guanyin Bodhisattva actively carried out the will of Tathagata. In the process of subduing Monk Sand and Bajie, we saw that Monk Sand suffered the pain of being demoted. Guanyin's rescue and promise gave him hope. Monk Sand also firmly waited for the person who took the scriptures. It can be seen that the redemption power of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Although Ba Jie had made a mistake, he immediately admitted his mistake when he saw Guanyin, which reflected Guanyin's prestige.

His hair can be represented by short and directional lines to draw his signature Golden Hoop Incantation. In terms of facial features, the eyes had to be drawn to give off the feeling of being full of vigor. 3. Zhu Bajie: - He drew Zhu Bajie's round body shape, and his belly could be protruded with an arc. - Draw his iconic long nose and big ears. The lines of the ears can have some rounded arcs.

The plot of the twenty-fifth chapter of Journey to the West contained many insights. From the perspective of character image, Wukong's performance was commendable. Although he had been mischievous and pulled out the ginseng fruit tree, he had also shown a side that dared to take responsibility for his actions. For example, he had taken the initiative to take responsibility for his mistakes and accept the whipping. He was worried that his master would be punished, so he was punished on behalf of his master. This reflected his responsibility and loyalty to his master. At the same time, it was also possible to see his wisdom. When faced with difficulties, he used various spells to try to escape punishment, although sometimes he succeeded and sometimes he failed. From the perspective of the truth of life conveyed in the story, the plot of the vicious words in this chapter shows that the damage of words cannot be underestimated. People should pay attention to their words and deeds when they speak, not only to vent their anger for a moment. In terms of the display of divine powers and spells, this time, it revealed that divine powers were not omnipotent, but were subject to many restrictions. For example, Wukong's transformation technique was not as he wished. Whether it was to transform the willow tree into four people or the stone lion into himself, there was a certain price to pay, such as spitting blood and chanting curses. This also reflected that even if there was a powerful spell, in the face of established rules and powerful opponents, one could not act recklessly. In addition, from the development of the story, Tang Sanzang and his disciples experienced many hardships in this time. This also reflected the bumpy road of their journey to obtain the scriptures. They needed to constantly face difficulties and solve problems. It also further reflected their persistence and tenacity in the whole great cause of obtaining the scriptures. In the face of the punishment of the Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, they did not give up easily. This spirit of continuous struggle in the predicament was also worthy of admiration. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

From the perspective of character creation ** 1. ** Sun Wukong's Spirit of Resistance and Wisdom ** - In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong had always been the representative of rebellion against authority. Even though he had experienced many hardships by the 74th chapter, his spirit of resistance still existed. For example, when faced with demons and ghosts that might exist in front of him, he was not afraid at all. He always rushed ahead to scout the way. This reflected his courage and fearlessness, his courage to challenge unknown dangers. At the same time, his wisdom was also reflected in this process. He knew how to use his transformation technique to obtain information, such as turning into a small insect. This kind of wisdom was an important factor for him to continuously solve difficult problems on his way to obtain the scriptures. 2. ** Tang Sanzang's firm belief ** - Tang Sanzang had always maintained a firm belief in Buddhism throughout the entire process. By the 74th chapter, despite experiencing many hardships, he still did not waver. The firmness of his belief was the spiritual motivation that pushed the entire team forward. He was not disturbed by the difficulties and temptations of the outside world. He was dedicated to the West. This kind of persistence could also be seen as a positive quality in modern society. For example, on the path of people pursuing their dreams, they needed to have a firm belief like Tang Sanzang and not give up easily. 3. ** Pigsy and Monk Sand's supporting effects ** - Although Zhu Bajie had shortcomings such as gluttony and laziness, he also played a certain role in balancing the team. His existence made the story more interesting and lively, and at the same time, he could provide some other ideas. Monk Sand was as loyal and steadfast as ever. He silently took on the task of protecting Tang Sanzang and assisting Sun Wukong. His honesty was an important factor in the stability of the team. In modern teamwork, there was also a need for a loyal and reliable member like Sand Monk. ** 2. From the perspective of the social phenomenon reflected in the story ** 1. ** Complicated relationships in society ** - Many of the demons he encountered on the way were inextricably linked to heaven and earth. This reflected the complexity of social relations at that time, just like how there were various interest networks in real society. Some demons relied on their relationship with immortals to do evil in the human world. This could be compared to some people in society who used power or nepotism to do improper things. The struggle between Sun Wukong and these demons could also be seen as a challenge to this improper relationship by the power of justice. 2. ** Satire of corruption and darkness ** - The relationship between demons and immortals in the book hinted at the corruption and incompetence of the government at that time. In the context of the society at that time, this description might be a criticism of the darkness of officialdom under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. In modern society, this also reminded people to be wary of the abuse of power and corruption, and to advocate a fair and just social order. ** 3. From the perspective of the symbolic significance of learning from the cause ** 1. ** Life's hardships and growth ** - The 74th chapter was only a part of the eighty-one difficulties of learning the scriptures. The whole process of learning the scriptures symbolized the growth of one's life. Every encounter with demons and overcoming difficulties was an opportunity to grow. The difficulties in this chapter were also a test for the four of them. They constantly tempered their willpower and improved their abilities in this process. This inspired people to see difficulties as a ladder to growth in life, to actively face challenges and constantly improve themselves. 2. ** Pursuit of goals ** - Tang Sanzang and his disciples had a clear goal, which was to get the scriptures from the Western Heaven.
