My feelings after reading each chapter of Journey to the West
◆Chapter 1 "Spiritual Roots and Breeding Sources Flow Out, Mind Practices and Great Paths Are Born" There is a stone monkey on Huaguo Mountain. The stone monkey was embraced as king by the monkeys. Three to five hundred years later, the stone monkey suddenly cried sadly because life was unpredictable and he would not live long. According to the instructions of an old monkey, Stone Monkey traveled to Xiniu Hezhou via Nanshanxunzhou, where he met the Patriarch Subhuti, was accepted as his disciple, and was named Sun Wukong.
The second chapter "Understanding the true and wonderful principles of Bodhi, breaking off demons and returning to the original soul" Wukong learned the way of immortality, the seventy-two transformations and the "somersault cloud" from his ancestor. One day, Wukong was instigated by others and turned into a pine tree, which made the ancestor unhappy and was expelled from the cave. Return to Huaguo Mountain, fight with the demons of Zhanshan Mountain and win, and bring back the captive monkeys and items.
The third chapter "Thousands of mountains in the four seas are crouching, and the Nine Netherworlds and ten categories are all eliminated" Wukong asked the Dragon King for a Ruyi golden cudgel weighing 13,500 kilograms. Cross off the name of the monkey in the book of life and death in the underworld. The Dragon King and the King of Hell asked the Jade Emperor to subjugate the monster monkey. The Jade Emperor sent Taibai Jinxing to Mount Huaguo to recruit Wukong.
The fourth chapter "What's the point of being awarded the title of Bi Ma Wen" Wukong was awarded the title of "Bi Ma Wen". He learned that this official was a junior rank and returned to Huaguo Mountain. The Jade Emperor ordered King Li Tianwang and his son Prince Nezha to capture Wukong. Defeated by Goku. Venus summons Wukong again. The Jade Emperor ordered the Qitian Palace to be built for Wukong to live in.
The fifth chapter "The Great Sage Chaotics the Flat Peach to Steal the Pill and Counter the Heavenly Palace Gods to Catchase Monsters" Wukong manages the flat peach garden and eats all the big peaches in the garden. Then he went to Yaochi, drank all the immortal wine, and ate all the golden elixirs in Taishang Laojun's gourd. Escape back to Huaguo Mountain. The Jade Emperor ordered King Tota to lead his heavenly soldiers to capture Wukong. Wukong fought off the gods. ,
The sixth chapter "Guanyin went to the meeting to ask the reason, and the little sage showed his power to surrender to the great sage" Mucha, a disciple of Guanyin in the South China Sea, helped the king of heaven, but was defeated. Guanyin also recommended Erlang Shen. Erlangshen fought with Wukong. Taishang Laojun was watching the battle in the sky, dropped the diamond sleeve and hit Wukong. The gods escorted him back to the upper world. The Jade Emperor issued a decree to execute him.
Chapter 7 "The Great Sage Escapes from the Bagua Furnace and the Calming Monkey at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain" Taishang Laojun put Wukong into the alchemy furnace to be refined. Forty-nine days later, Wukong came out and made a big fuss in the heavenly palace. The Jade Emperor invited Tathagata Buddha. Sun Wukong somersaulted all the way and couldn't jump out of the Buddha's palm. Tathagata turned his five fingers into mountains to suppress Wukong. He ordered the Earth God to feed Wukong with iron pills and copper juice.
Chapter 8 "My Buddha created scriptures and preached bliss, Guanyin went to Chang'an on orders" Five hundred years later, the Tathagata Buddha wanted to find a follower to learn the scriptures, so that the Buddha's Dharma could be spread to the Eastern Land forever. Avalokitesvara led the wooden chak to ride on the clouds, carrying a cassock, a tin staff and three hoops of gold, tightness and ban. Along the way, they subdue Sha Wujing, Zhu Wuneng and Xiao Bailong; persuade Sun Wukong and let them protect the Buddhist scripture collector.
Reading Thoughts Journey to the West is one of my country’s four famous novels, and the movies made into it are endlessly watchable. This year, a new TV series of Journey to the West will be released nationwide.
The four masters and apprentices each have their own characteristics. Tang Seng’s compassion and kindness; Sun Wukong’s wit, bravery, and powerful magic; Zhu Bajie’s gluttony, lust, and indifference between good and evil, which caused Sun Wukong to be often scolded by Tang Seng; Sha Seng’s diligence and stability. Four different character types make the story lively and interesting.
