The first time: the spiritual root of pregnancy comes from the spiritual cultivation of Tao?
There is a Guo Hua in the Ole Sea in Dongsheng Shenzhou, where the fairy stone gives birth to the stone monkey. The stone monkey found a cave named "water curtain cave" at the source of Jianshui where he lived, and was praised as the king by many monkeys. After another 3500 years, the stone monkey suddenly lamented that life was impermanent and he would not live long. At the suggestion of an old monkey, the stone monkey went to Mr. Niu Hezhou in Xi via Zhou Xun in Nanshan, went to the square-inch mountain in Lingtai, entered the cave of Xieyue's three surnames and met the Bodhi ancestor. Take him as a disciple and name him the Monkey King.
The Journey to the West proposed for the first time that "spiritual roots are nurtured from the source, and practice is born on the road". It's about the Monkey King being born, exploring water curtain cave, becoming the Monkey King, and then going through the cold and summer, visiting immortals to find his way, and getting the name of Monkey King.
In front of Huaguoshan Waterfall, the monkeys said that whoever can get in and out safely is the Monkey King. Everyone is watching and waiting. It was he who jumped into the waterfall and found water curtain cave, and then led the monkeys into the cave. When all the monkeys were happy to get this cave, he stood up and asked the monkeys to fulfill his promise and became the Monkey King.
This place is not so much an adventure as an enterprise. He, a foreign monkey, wants to stand among the monkeys and become the monkey king. He must jump into the unknown world. This jump may be prosperous, or it may be beyond redemption, but he jumped out and he succeeded.
Since then, the monkeys have been free to visit Guo Hua at dusk and stay in water curtain cave. But even so, the Monkey King was very sad. He felt that if he died in the future, he would have to be taken care of by the underworld. He was so sad that he even shed tears. The monkeys around all said that the Monkey King was not satisfied, saying that he lived in the blessed land of Xianshan now, and that he ate and drank every day. Freedom was an infinite blessing, so why think too much?
But the Monkey King was unwilling. He wants the immortal god, or he wants to enter reincarnation. He wants to learn the magic of immortality. Isn't that enough? It seems to be, but more, it is also uneasy about the status quo, but the enterprising heart is inspiring him to move forward.
So after more than ten years, the Monkey King traveled to Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai and Sanxing Cave in Xieyue, where he met Bodhi, the founder of Bodhi. When Bodhi asked his name, the Monkey King replied, "I have no sexual love. If others scold me, I am not annoyed; If someone hits me, I'm not angry, just paying a gift. Life is asexual. "
The Monkey King understood the surname of "name" as "sex" and said such a sentence. The Monkey King turned out to be a good temper. He hit him, scolded him, and he apologized to you to make amends. Can you believe it? But that's what the first Journey to the West was about.
It's not that the Monkey King doesn't have personality, but that he didn't have the strength to play personality at that time! When he comes to study, of course, he should lower himself and talk about his easy-going personality. In the final analysis, the root cause is his enterprise, because he wants to learn the magic of immortality, because he wants to improve himself, so he can endure beating and cursing, and he can persist in wandering alone for more than ten years and seek immortality.

Creation background
In the first year of Zhenguan of Emperor Taizong (627), Xuanzang Tianzhu, a 25-year-old monk, went hiking in India. After starting from Chang 'an, he passed through Central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and finally arrived in India. He studied there for more than two years and gave a speech at a large-scale debate on Buddhist classics, which was well received.
In the 19th year of Zhenguan (645), Xuanzang returned to Chang 'an and brought back 657 Buddhist scriptures, which was a sensation. Later, Xuanzang dictated his The Journey to the West, which was compiled by his disciples into a 12-volume Record of the Western Regions of Datang. But this book is mainly about the history, geography and transportation of countries seen on the road, and there is no story.
As for "Datang The biography of Master Sanzang" written by his disciples Huihe and Yan Cong, it adds a lot of myths to Xuanzang's experience. Since then, the story of Tang Priest's Buddhist scriptures has been widely circulated among the people in China.
There were poems by three monks in the Tang Dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty, Tang Sanzang and Pan in the Jin Dynasty, Tang Sanzang's "Learning from the Western Heaven" in Wu Changling, and "Great Sage" in the Fifth Ming Dynasty, all of which laid the foundation for The Journey to the West's creation. It is on the basis of Chinese folk literature, scripts and operas that Wu Cheng'en completed this great literary masterpiece through hard re-creation. ?
The Journey to the West author Wu Cheng'en (controversial) lived in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and experienced five periods: Hongzhi in Xiaozong, Jiajing in Sejong in Wuzong, Qin Long in Mu Zong and Wanli in Zongshen. The social situation in the middle and late Ming dynasty was very different from that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Political class contradictions, ethnic contradictions and contradictions within the ruling class have intensified and become increasingly acute.
The ideological and cultural enlightenment rose, the trend of human liberation rose, civic literature became increasingly prosperous, novel and drama creation entered a period of all-round prosperity, and capitalism sprouted economically.
