The main plot of the novel can be summarized as: Sun Wukong helps Tang Sanzang to obtain the scriptures, Zhu Bajie becomes Zhu Bajie to cheat food and drink, and Monk Sand protects Tang Sanzang to obtain the scriptures. Tang Sanzang and his team experience various dangers and difficulties on the journey and finally successfully retrieve the scriptures. "Journey to the West" is regarded as a classic in the history of Chinese literature. It not only has profound ideology and rich cultural content, but also has high literary value and artistic value.

One of the main adventures is when they encounter the White - Bone Demon. The demon keeps changing forms to deceive them, but the Monkey King sees through it. They also face challenges in different kingdoms, like the Kingdom of Women where there are only women. Their journey is full of such strange and exciting encounters.

The main characters are Tang Sanzang, a monk on a pilgrimage to retrieve Buddhist scriptures. And of course, the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, who is very powerful. Then there is Zhu Bajie, a rather gluttonous but also quite funny character, and Sha Wujing, who is more steady and hard - working.

In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong had indeed been seriously injured many times. During the Uproar in Heaven, God Erlang led six masters to besiege Sun Wukong. After beating him up, he tied him up with a steel rope and pierced his lute bone with a hook knife, causing him to lose all his mana. Later, he was escorted to the Demon Slaying Stage and suffered from knife chopping, axe chopping, spear stabbing, sword digging, fire and lightning. Although he was not injured, he was thrown into the Eight Trigrams Furnace. This was the first time he suffered a serious injury, but he also cultivated the Fiery Eyes. During the battle with the yellow wind monster, the yellow wind blew by the yellow wind monster made Sun Wukong spin in the air, and his Fiery Golden Eyes were sore. The second wind blew so hard that he couldn't even open his eyes. If Taibai Jinxing hadn't given him the spiritual medicine, his eyes might have been crippled. When he was facing the Gold Horn King and the Silver Horn King, he was crushed by the Silver Horn King's three mountains, Mount Meru, Mount Emei, and Mount Tai. His three souls were shattered and blood spurted out of his seven orifices. Later, when he learned that the demon had ordered the Mountain God and the Earth God to be on duty, he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. When he fought with Red Boy, he was blinded by the smoke that Red Boy spewed out due to his fear of smoke. Tears fell like rain. He even threw himself into the stream to put out the fire, causing his heart to be attacked by fire and his three souls to leave his body. He almost lost his life. Back in Zhuzi Country, Sun Wukong was heavily injured by Ba Jie's sneak attack. He used the little white dragon's urine to heal himself while stalling for time to recover. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The commentary on Journey to the West could be carried out from many aspects: ** 1. Character Creation ** 1. ** Sun Wukong ** - He was a highly skilled and intelligent character. When he faced many demons and ghosts, he used the Seventy-two Transformations and the Jingu Staff to display his powerful combat ability. For example, in the battle with the Erlang God Yang Jian, although he was finally captured, his various changes and tenacious resistance during the battle reflected his strong martial arts. His wit was reflected in the fact that he could always come up with countermeasures when faced with all kinds of dangers and challenges. For example, when he encountered the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King, he skillfully dealt with the demon's magical equipment. - Sun Wukong had the spirit of resistance. From his initial bold words of "stepping on the southern sky and shattering the spiritual clouds", one could see his challenge to the authority of the Heavenly Court. But at the same time, he also grew through his experiences. From a willful "Heart Monkey", he gradually converted to the righteous path and finally became a righteous person. 2. ** Tang Monk ** - Tang Sanzang was benevolent, which was one of his main characteristics. However, his compassion was sometimes almost pedantic, and demons often used his kindness to set traps. For example, when the White Bone Demon was in trouble, he repeatedly mistakenly believed in the disguise of the White Bone Demon, causing conflicts between the master and the disciple. He was often teased and laughed at by his disciples, which showed his weakness as a mortal and his human side. 3. ** Pigsy ** - Zhu Bajie was gluttonous, lazy and lecherous. He always thought about delicious food on his way to the scriptures, and when he encountered difficulties, he would easily have the idea of retreating. He was also often confused by seeing beautiful women. However, his cleverness and sense of humor made him a cute character. For example, when Sun Wukong was fighting the monsters, he would occasionally come up with some seemingly clumsy but useful ideas. 4. ** Monk Sand ** - Friar Sand was a silent, loyal and brave Hercules. He silently took on the task of carrying the burden in the team. He was loyal to Tang Sanzang and always stood firmly on the side of the team when he encountered danger. Although he was not as dazzling as Sun Wukong, he was an indispensable stabilizing force in the team. ** 2. Plot development ** 1. The plot was full of surprises and fun. Tang Sanzang and his disciples encountered countless dangerous situations and interesting challenges on the way to the scriptures in the west. They needed to rely on wisdom and courage to solve problems and overcome difficulties. For example, in Che Chi Country, the four of them had a series of battles of wits and courage with the three Imperial Preceptor, Hu Li, Lu Li, and Yang Li. It included competitions such as praying for rain, meditation, and guessing objects. The plot was complicated and full of suspense. 2. The plot had a certain educational and enlightening significance. The hardships on the road to learning the scriptures made the readers realize the importance of teamwork, perseverance, wisdom, and other qualities. For example, the four of them had different personalities. When faced with difficulties, they needed to cooperate with each other and learn from each other's strengths to continue moving forward. ** 3. Thesis and Thought ** 1. It emphasized the importance of morality, courage, wisdom, and teamwork. Tang Sanzang and his disciples each had different personalities and abilities. During the process of learning from the scriptures, they constantly worked together to overcome difficulties, which reflected the value of teamwork. When Sun Wukong faced a powerful monster, he needed to have the courage to fight. At the same time, he needed to use his wisdom to deal with the various magic weapons and tricks of the monster. 2. Revealing the weaknesses and beauty of human nature. From the performance of the characters, we can see the many sides of human nature. For example, Zhu Bajie's gluttony and lecherousness are his weaknesses, but his optimism and occasional cleverness are the beauty of his human nature; Tang Sanzang's pedantry is a weakness, but his compassion is a beauty. ** 4. From the perspective of social irony (partial interpretation)** 1. There was a sense of social irony in the setting of monsters. In the book, there were also demons. The good-looking ones were called demons, and the ugly ones were called demons. This reflected a social phenomenon of judging people by their appearances. The difference in status might depend on the environment and the power behind it. For example, the carp spirit eating children had the support of Guanyin, and the Golden-winged Roc had an uncle who was a Buddha. When Sun Wukong raised his stick to beat the demon with a background, he was taken away by his master to continue being an official in heaven, while the demon without a background was beaten to death. This also hinted at the injustice in society. Those with a background could escape punishment even if they made a mistake. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
