sun wukong real story

Sun Wukong was one of the main characters in the Ming Dynasty novel Journey to the West. He was a stone ape born from an immortal stone. Because he led the monkeys into the Water Curtain Cave, he was honored as the "Monkey King". In order to learn the art of immortality, he worshipped the founder Bodhi as his teacher and was given the Dharma name "Sun Wukong". After he returned, the demons worshipped him. He forced his way into the East Sea Dragon Palace and obtained the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, the Phoenix-winged Purple Gold Crown, the Golden Suozi Armor, and the Lotus Root Silk Cloud Walking Shoes from the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas. He made a big fuss in the underworld and got the Venus to summon him to the Heavenly Court. He was granted the official title of Ma Wen. Because he hated the small official position, he self-proclaimed himself as the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven" and forced the Heavenly Court to acknowledge him. He also disturbed the Feast of Peaches due to drunkenness, stole immortal pills, and caused a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace. By accident, he cultivated the body of King Kong and the Fiery Golden Eyes. Finally, he was imprisoned in the Five Elements Mountain by Tathagata. After being suppressed in the Five Elements Mountain, he was enlightened by Guanyin. Five hundred years later, he was rescued by Tang Sanzang and gained the mixed name of "Monkey". From then on, he protected Tang Sanzang and went through 81 difficulties to obtain the true scriptures and cultivate the "Fighting Buddha". Sun Wukong's character image was also found in other works. For example, the male protagonist Kakarot in the Japanese manga Dragon Ball, whose original name was Sun Wukong, was a Saiyan from Planet Vegeta. Sun Wukong in the domestic anime One Hundred Thousand Cold Jokes was originally an ordinary monkey from Huaguo Mountain. He thought that he was born as a stone monkey and began a different life journey. However, these images were based on the re-creation or derivative creation of Sun Wukong in Journey to the West.

Sun Wukong is a famous character from Chinese mythology. In the real story, he was born from a magic stone. He learned powerful magic skills and caused much chaos in Heaven. Eventually, he was tamed by Buddha. He then accompanied Tang Sanzang on a journey to the West to fetch Buddhist scriptures, facing numerous monsters and challenges along the way.

The Real Monkey King was a classic chapter in Journey to the West. The plot was roughly that Sun Wukong was chased back to Huaguo Mountain by Tang Sanzang after killing the bandits. Six-Eared Macaque took the opportunity to impersonate Sun Wukong, injured Tang Sanzang and stole his luggage. Friar Sand found Wukong from Guanyin, and then the real and fake Monkey Kings started a big battle. Guanyin, Jade Emperor, Tang Sanzang, King of Hell, and the others could not distinguish between the two. In the end, Tathagata Buddha saw through the Six-Eared Macaque, and Wukong killed him. Master and disciple were reunited. This story was also made into a movie, a TV series, and a computer game. From another point of view, the real Monkey King could be seen as the process of Sun Wukong's cultivation. It symbolized the good and evil sides of a person. The two Wukongs represented Sun Wukong's divinity and demonic nature, so it was difficult for the immortals and Buddhas to break through. There was also a view that this plot was used by the author to reflect the historical event of the Battle of Jingnan in the Ming Dynasty, presenting the internal struggle between Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen as two Wukongs fighting for the world.

Some people believed that the real Sun Wukong had died long ago for the following reasons: Firstly, the Six-Eared Macaque and Sun Wukong looked exactly the same, and their martial arts and magic techniques were exactly the same. In Journey to the West, no one except Buddha could tell the difference between the two. Therefore, even if the dead one was Sun Wukong, no one would doubt that Buddha said it was the Six-Eared Macaque. Secondly, in the Monkey King incident, the immortals of the Heavenly Court could not tell the truth. They went to the underworld to look for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but Truth Listener could tell but did not dare to say it directly. Perhaps it was because the Six-Eared Macaque was backed by Buddha. Third, Sun Wukong's master, Patriarch Bodhi, and Gautama Buddha were originally fellow disciples. There might be a huge contradiction between the two. Sun Wukong was unruly and disrespectful to Buddha when he wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace. Buddha might have wanted to get rid of Sun Wukong first when he saw Grandmaster Bodhi's disciple.
