Please give one, who is the author of Journey to the West, hard work

B Khan, "Journey to the West" has n more movies, TV series, and cartoons, do you mean "Journey to the West" of China's four famous novels?

The author is slightly controversial, but everyone generally thinks that it is Wu Chengen, and the textbooks also say so.

In fact, the content is also an integration of relevant scripts and miscellaneous dramas, which can be regarded as a summary.

If you have time, you can go and read the ** original book, in fact, a lot of fun.

The author of Journey to the West is: Wu Chengen.

Wu Chengen (1500-1582), the name Ruzhong, the name of the Yangshan people. Han nationality, Huai'an Prefecture Shanyang County (now Huai'an District, Jiangsu Province), ancestral home in Gaodian, Tongcheng County, Anhui Province (now Gaodian, Yutan Township, Zongyang County), with ancestors living in Gaodian, Zongyang, so called Gaodian Wu. Because he migrated with his grandfather to Huai'an Mansion (now Huai'an District, Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province).

He was an outstanding Chinese scholar in the Ming Dynasty and the author of "Journey to the West", one of the four classic Chinese classics. His hometown has a renovated cemetery in Erbao Village, Madian Township, southeast of Huai'an, Jiangsu, and Huai'an City has its memorial hall. Wu Chengen has created a lot in his life, but due to his poor family and no children, most of his works are scattered.

It is recorded that the ** collection of Zhiwei "Yu Ding Ji" has been lost. Wu Chengen's nephew Sun Qiudu collected his remaining manuscripts, and only "eleven more than a thousand" survived, including one volume of poems and three volumes of prose. Later generations compiled his poems into "Mr. Sheyang's Manuscript".

I know very well, Constantine, to believe oh yes

In 1592 it cracked and rolled into nothingness.

Since none of the existing Ming periodicals have no author's signature, the earliest version is the Jinling Shidetang book (the 20th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, 1592), signed "Huayang Dongtian Master School", and the first has a preface by Chen Yuan, which leaves room for who the author of "Journey to the West" is. Tao Zongyi, a beginner in the late Yuan and Ming dynasties, attributed "Journey to the West" under the name of Qiu Chuji in "Dropout Record: Qiu Zhenren". In the early Qing Dynasty, when the Taoist priest Wang Xiangxu carved the "Journey to the West", he also attributed "Journey to the West" to Qiu Chuji.

Subsequently, many scholars in the Qing Dynasty held this view, such as Chen Shibin's "Journey to the West", Zhang Shushen's "New Journey to the West", Liu Yiming's "Journey to the West", Zhang Hanzhang's "Tongyi Journey to the West", etc., and the author of "Journey to the West" became the mainstream saying in the Qing Dynasty. This theory was doubted in the Qing Dynasty.

The real author of "Journey to the West" cannot be determined, Wu Chengen is the final processor of "Journey to the West".

Because the Ming edition of "Journey to the West" is not titled by the author, until the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Xiangxu's "Journey to the West" was thought to be Qiu Chu's machine, and then Wu Yuyi inferred that the author was Wu Chengen according to the Huai'an dialect in the "Huai'an Mansion Chronicles" and **. In the early twenties, Lu Xun determined that Wu Chengen was the final processor of "Journey to the West" according to the records of "Huai'an Mansion Chronicles" and Qian Daxin, Ji Yun, Ding Yan, Wu Yuyi, etc.

Among these three theories, Wu Chengen said that it is still not easy to deny, Shenliangqiu said that there is a disagreement with the ** text and it is difficult to justify it, Chen Yuanzhi is full of ideas, but Chen Yuanzhi is not his real name, and who he is is is still a mystery. It can be seen that the real solution to the author's problem still needs to be thought and studied more deeply by scholars.

Discussion of the author of "Journey to the West".

After entering the 80th year of the Journey to the West, Zhang Peiheng took the lead in publishing the article "Is Journey to the West Written by Wu Chengen", arguing that the existing materials could not prove that Wu Chengen was indeed the author of "Journey to the West", breaking the silence of the domestic academic community on this issue for many years and triggering a big discussion on the authorship. According to the starting point of the scholars' arguments and their research methods, the relevant discussions can be summarized into three major theories: Wu Chengen's theory, Qiu Chuji's theory, and Chen Yuanzhi's theory.
