Who is the prototype of Sun Wukong Did he really escort Xuanzang to the west to learn the scriptures

In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong is a fictional character of the author, and there is no prototype.

Some researchers say that the historical prototype of the protagonist Sun Wukong in Wu Chengen's masterpiece "Journey to the West" in the Ming Dynasty is Shi Pantuo, and their reason is that the lush hair of the Hu people looks more like a monkey. This is not the main reason, the main basis for the researcher to put forward this assertion is that the later performance of Shi Pantuo in real history is very similar to that of Sun Wukong. Of course, that's an afterthought.

Origin of the name: surname Sun: The ancestor took the surname 'Qian' from the monkey king. The word went to a beast, but it was an ancient moon.

The ancients are old, and the moon is yin. Lao Yin can't be cultivated, so teach him the surname 'Tan'. The word Tanuki went to the side of the beast, but it was a subline.

The son is also a man, and the child is a baby, which is in line with the essence of the baby, and the surname is 'Sun'.

Famous Wukong: There are twelve characters in the patriarch's door, and they are assigned to be named, and the Monkey King is the tenth generation of apprentices. Those 12 words are the 12 characters of 'vast wisdom is really like sexuality, sea ying, enlightenment, and enlightenment'.

Ranked to the Monkey King, just the word 'enlightenment'. The patriarch gave the Monkey King a legal name, called 'Monkey King'.

Sun Wukong, also known as "Walker", was born in Dongsheng Shenzhou Aolai National Flower and Fruit Mountain Water Curtain Cave, gold water is the nature of vacuum, realize this emptiness, and must be able to do this emptiness, and gold water is saved.

The prototype of Tang Seng in "Journey to the West": his legal name is Xuanzang, a native of Luozhou's Wushi County (Henan Yanshi), his common surname is Chen, his name is Yuan, his name is Jiangliu, and he is the first monk in the Tang Dynasty.

When the Tang Dynasty was founded, Buddhism originated in India (known as Tianzhu in ancient times) had been circulating in China for hundreds of years, and many eminent monks who studied Buddhist scriptures and spread Buddhism had emerged. Some eminent monks even went to India to study Buddhism regardless of their lives, and then returned to China to translate the scriptures and spread the Dharma, so that Buddhism could spread in China.

Xuanzang introduced the experience of learning scriptures to Tang Taizong, and Tang Taizong listened to it with relish and admired Xuanzang's perseverance very much. Without the support of Tang Taizong, Xuanzang began to translate Buddha Xuanzang in Yuhua Temple on the outskirts of Chang'an, and he worked for 19 years, translating a total of 1,335 volumes of Buddhist scriptures, totaling more than 1.3 million words. His translations are beautiful and fluent, faithful to the original, exemplary, and some of the proper nouns, such as the name "India", were translated by him.

In the first year of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty (664), the great Buddhist scholar, traveler, and translator died in Yuhua Temple and went to the Heavenly Elysium. What he left us with is not only a large number of Chinese translations of Buddhist scriptures, but also a "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" that he co-wrote, which records the customs, places of interest, and cityscapes of more than 100 countries and regions that he traveled through to learn the scriptures, which is an outstanding geographical work.

Now this book has been translated into many languages and has become a world masterpiece. Wu Chengen, a native of the Ming Dynasty, wrote the famous myth ** "Journey to the West" after bold fiction and imagination based on the matter of learning scriptures from the West of the Xuan Award. Therefore, Tang Xuanzang has become a well-known historical figure for women and children.

Jianzhen (688 - June 25, 763), a monk of the Tang Dynasty, with the common surname Chunyu, was a native of Jiangyang, Guangling (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu), a descendant of the Nanshan Sect of the Vinaya, and the founder of the Nanshan Vinaya Sect of Japanese Buddhism, a famous medical scientist. He once served as the host of Yangzhou Daming Temple, and at the request of Japanese monks studying abroad, he has traveled to the east six times to spread Buddhism and promote the spread and exchange of culture. On June 25, 763 (the first year of Guangde), Jianzhen passed away in Tang Zhaoti Temple at the age of 76.

The Japanese people call Jianzhen "the master of the balance", which means that his achievements are enough to represent the roof of culture in the Tenping era (metaphor for the peak, the highest achievement).

It's Xuanzang, Jianzhen went east to Japan, and now there is a statue of Jianzhen in Beijing China-Japan Friendship Hospital, in reality, Xuanzang went west to India, right, that six-year-old children's version of Journey to the West, the filming location at that time was not India, it was Thailand, and India did not allow filming at that time.

Tang Xuanzang, commonly known as Chen, is named Yi.

is Master Xuanzang, Xuanzang went to ancient India, and Jianzhen went east to Japan.

In Journey to the West, it was said that his name was Tang Xuanzang.

It's Tang Xuanzang, Jianzhen went east to Japan, it should be regarded as a journey to the east, haha.

It must be Xuanzang, Tang Xuanzang.

There should have been archetypes in history.

In history, the prototype of Sun Wukong should be called Che Fengchao, this person is more likely, if you trace back to your ancestors, he should be a descendant of the Xianbei Tuoba clan. He began to learn martial arts when he was young, and although Cha Bongchao was a nobody at first, he later made a name for himself in the military. He is proficient in martial arts, brave and good at fighting, and is good at using a one-shot eyebrow stick.

Sun Wukong used a Ruyi golden hoop stick weighing 13,500 catties. The stick is also one of the ** that the monks particularly like to use, and the Shaolin stick monk at that time was even more famous.

There is also a prototype is Shi Pantuo, when Xuanzang wandered in front of the monastery in Dunhuang for the great desert in front of him worried, at this time a person from the Western Regions came to worship, called himself Shi Pantuo, willing to be ordained to worship Xuanzang as a teacher, and said to be a guide, escort Xuanzang through. But in just three days, he tried to kill the master many times, and was later driven away by Xuanzang. This is a so-called apprentice who has been with Xuanzang for only three days, and he is a villain at first glance, and it is unlikely to be the prototype of Sun Wukong.

There is also a legend of Wuzhi Qi in the "Taiping Guangji" volume 467 quoted in "Rong Curtain Chat". In Wu Changling's "Tang Sanzang Western Heaven Scriptures" in the Yuan Dynasty, the appearance of Sun Wukong appeared and there were words like "Wuzhiqi is his sister". It can be seen that the image of Sun Wukong is borrowed from Wuzhiqi.

Wuzhiqi is a water monster in Chinese mythology. He is shaped like an ape, with a collapsed nose, a white head and a green body, a bulging forehead, and fiery eyes. His head and neck were 100 feet, and his strength was greater than that of nine elephants.

The story of Wuzhiqi, after 800 years, Wu Chengen processed and sorted out "Journey to the West", such a big book as "Taiping Guangji", Wu Chengen, who likes folklore, will definitely read, since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the story of Yufu Wuzhiqi has been widely circulated among the people, and it is a household name, after Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West" came out, the image of Wuzhiqi was gradually replaced by Sun Wukong.

And the controversy over the prototype of the Monkey King is all just the understanding and speculation of the writer in the book. There is no conclusive evidence so far. Because Mr. Wu Chengen has long since passed away, he can be said to be the father of Sun Wukong.

The hardships of writing his book are beyond your imagination. Huaguo Mountain is the abode that the author yearns for in his heart to see through the world. The Monkey King is our original native mythological character in Chinese.

Sun Wukong is undoubtedly a native monkey who combines various local ideas.

I don't think there is such a thing, it's a little story that people make up.

In the "Biography of Master Sanzang", which records Xuanzang's life and deeds, there is a clear record that he is a monk in the area of Suoyang City, Anxi County, Gansu Province.

At that time, Tang Seng was smuggled to learn scriptures, and Sun Wukong was a person found around (regarded as an entourage, a security guard), and later betrayed Tang Seng and ran away.

It is difficult to verify whether it exists, most likely not, after all, Sun Wukong is imaginary.

According to the literature, the Monkey King in Journey to the West has a prototype in our Chinese history.

It is possible that it is an Indian monkey
