There are ninety nine eighty one difficulties in Journey to the West , is this really a real experi

"Journey to the West".The descriptions from beginning to end are all mythological stories of the Tang Dynasty. He is also the ancestor of large-scale mythological novels. Since it's a mythical story, of course it's unrealistic.

This book mainly reflects the author Wu Chengen.

Dissatisfaction and irony with the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty at that time. As soon as it came out, it was widely circulated. It is still a famous generation of strange books.

1. Introduction of the author Wu Chengen

Wu Chengen, the word Ruzhong, the number of Yang Shanren, the Ming Dynasty writer, Shanyang County, Huai'an Prefecture.

People under the river. When he was young, he was familiar with poetry and books, good at calligraphy, and was also well-known in his hometown. Be appreciated.

In the eighth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Wu Chengen went to Huai'an Longxi Academy to study. It has also been highly recognized by the prefect Gemu. In the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing, Wu Chengen served as a Cheng in Changxing County, Zhejiang.

He often drinks with friends. Between the fun and the poetry. In the end, he disagreed with his boss and resigned and went home.

Longqing began to write "Journey to the West" in the fourth year. Except for Journey to the West. In addition, he is the author of a collection of words "New Edition of Flowers and Plants" and a collection of short stories "Yu Dingzhi".

In his later years, Wu Chengen was also addicted to alcohol and died of poverty.

2. The partial interpretation of "Journey to the West".

The first half of "Journey to the West" portrays the protagonist Monkey King in a lot of space.

The process of studying and playing in the Heavenly Palace. Based on the thinking of the author Wu Chengen, he probably wants to sketch a heroic image who dares to resist the injustice of the times. And the ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulties that followed seemed to smooth out the edges and corners of this rebellious protagonist.

Does the final attainment of Buddhahood tell us that since we cannot change this reality, we will be assimilated by reality?

3. Although the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties are not real experiences, they hide deep stories

At the end of the book, Tang Seng was described.

After nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, the four masters and apprentices finally obtained the true scriptures and sent them back to Chang'an to achieve positive results. Can it be understood that for the sake of this team, Sun Wukong finally smoothed out the edges and corners and gave up resistance. Finally, I realized that I can't change the status quo of society, and only by following the changes in society can I have the opportunity to "become a Buddha".

I have always had Sun Wukong as the protagonist from beginning to end. From daring to resist at the beginning, to being assimilated by society in the end, it is my own perception. Please also help me think about whether this is the case).

This is a myth written by Wu Chengen with Tang Sanzang going to India to learn scriptures**, some of the locations in it are real, and the storyline is almost all fictional.

"Journey to the West" is a myth of Wu Chengen**, the story in it is Wu Chengen's own imagination, it can be said that Wu Chengen wrote Sun Wukong is to write himself, the eighty-one difficulties in the story are actually the hardships that Wu Chengen himself has experienced, this story says that it is not fake, but the whimsical myths and legends in it are of course fake.

It shouldn't be, how can it be such a coincidence, he has just experienced the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulty, and Xuanzang has already retrieved the scriptures, will he still count how many difficulties he has experienced?

The depreciation of the golden cicada is the first difficulty.

In "Journey to the West", one of the four classical masterpieces in China, the "Tang monk" who went to the west to learn scriptures was originally the reincarnation of the second apprentice of Shakyamuni Buddha, "Golden Cicada" (also known as Elder Jin Cicada).

Tang Sanzang was reincarnated by the true spirit of the golden cicada into a Tang monk in the eastern soil, which means "the golden cicada sheds its shell", so people take the cicada transformed into a symbol of immortality and regeneration, so in "Journey to the West" there is also a saying that eating "Tang monk meat" can live forever.

The twelfth chapter of Journey to the West: When there is a Bodhisattva and a wooden fork: "Today is the meeting of water and land, and it will be done with 17 following 77." I mingled with you in the crowd, one to see what he would be, the second to see that the golden cicada could be blessed to wear my treasure, and the third to listen to him talk about which sutra.
