The original story of Uproar in Heaven was based on the classic China novel Journey to the West. This famous work was the first romanticist long demon novel in ancient China. The author was Wu Chengen of the Ming Dynasty. The plot of "Uproar in Heaven" in the novel vividly depicted the story of Sun Wukong, who was dissatisfied with the Heavenly Court's policy of appeasement. After thinking that he had been deceived and despised, he raised the banner of "The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal" to openly oppose the Heavenly Court. He stole Peaches of Immortality and Immortal Pills in the Heavenly Court, and single-handedly turned the world upside down. The 100,000 Heavenly troops and generals could not withstand a single blow from him. Although he was captured by Erlang God Yang Jian after hundreds of rounds of fierce battle with the help of Taishang Laojun and put into the alchemy furnace to refine for 49 days, not only was he not destroyed, but he also cultivated Fiery Eyes. When he rushed out of the alchemy furnace again, he even beat the gods of the Heavenly Court in an awe-inspiring manner.

Sun Wukong wreaking havoc in Heaven was a famous plot in Journey to the West. First of all, Sun Wukong went to the East Ocean Dragon Palace to get the Ruyi Jingu Staff as a weapon. Then he broke into the Sen Luo Temple of the Nether World Realm and forcefully sold the Life and Death Book. The Dragon King and the King of Hell went to heaven to complain to the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor wanted to capture Wukong, but Taibai Jinxing suggested that he should be granted amnesty and be given the title of " Tuoma Wen." Sun Wukong was furious when he learned that this official title was low. He went back to Huaguo Mountain through the Southern Heavenly Gate and raised the banner of " The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal." The Jade Emperor sent the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing and the Third Prince Nezha to lead the Heavenly Army to capture them, but they were defeated by Sun Wukong. The Jade Emperor once again offered amnesty. After Sun Wukong became the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, he was ordered to manage the peach garden. He ate all the ripe peaches. The Queen Mother wanted to hold a Peach Banquet but didn't invite him. Sun Wukong transformed into a barefoot Great Immortal and sneaked into the Jade Pool. He drank the immortal wine and got drunk. He broke into the Tushita Palace of the Supreme Elder Lord and ate the Golden Elixir before returning to the Flower and Fruit Mountain. Guanyin Bodhisattva sent Hui An to the lower realm to explore the military situation and help fight. Hui An was defeated. Heavenly King Li asked the Jade Emperor for help. Guanyin recommended Erlang Immortal Yang Jian to participate in the battle. Erlang Shen and Wukong fought fiercely, and Wukong was gradually at a disadvantage. Taishang Laojun hit Wukong's head with the Diamond Chakram. Xiao Tianquan bit Wukong's leg, and Wukong was captured. After Wukong was captured, he could not be killed by knives, axes, lightning, and fire. Therefore, he was locked in the Eight Trigrams Furnace of the Supreme Lord. As a result, he cultivated the Fiery Eyes and continued to fight the Heavenly Generals after knocking down the furnace. The Jade Emperor had no choice but to ask Buddha to come forward. Wukong was suppressed by the Five Elements Mountain formed by the five fingers of Buddha. The immortals and Buddhas held the "Antian Meeting" to celebrate their victory.

The plot of Monkey King's Uproar in Heaven in Journey to the West showed Sun Wukong's rebellious spirit and his pursuit of freedom. At the same time, it also contained a profound philosophy of life. Judging from the image of Sun Wukong, he was a brave and fearless representative who dared to challenge authority during the Uproar in Heaven. He was born with infinite magic power. Ever since the birth of the Flowerfruit Mountain, he had been constantly exploring the world, breaking through the boundaries, finding a place for the monkey clan to live, and learning from his master to break the curse of life and death. He entered the Dragon Palace to retrieve the Golden Cudgel and made a ruckus in the netherworld to obtain the Book of Life and Death. In the face of the Heavenly Court's amnesty, he first saw through the false title of the horse, and then he was angry because he was not invited to the Peach Banquet. He fought all the way to the Soaring Heaven King Palace. He shouted out the words " the emperor will take turns to do it, and come to my house next year ", which was extremely defiant. After practicing his Fiery Eyes in the alchemy furnace, he continued to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace. Even the heavenly soldiers and generals were no match for him. During this period, Sun Wukong was an indomitable hero. He was not bound by the rules of the Heavenly Court and pursued freedom and equality in his own way. From a philosophical perspective, this plot reflected the idea that freedom was relative. Everyone yearned for freedom, but the kind of unlimited freedom that Sun Wukong had initially pursued did not exist in the real world. Over-pursuing unlimited freedom often led to restrictions. Sun Wukong was finally suppressed by Buddha at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain. At the same time, one could also see the drawbacks of arrogance. Sun Wukong's arrogance made him unable to see his own situation and eventually led to the fate of being suppressed. From a literary point of view, the plot of Uproar in Heaven was full of fantasy. All kinds of magical spells, fierce battle scenes, and unique mythical characters, such as Taibai Jinxing and Erlang God, added rich imagination and artistic charm to the story, making it one of the most wonderful parts of Journey to the West.
