Xueba, may I ask what are the four continents of the world written in Journey to the West

Dongsheng Shenzhou (Monkey King's motherland), North Juluzhou, West Niuhe Continent (such as the territory of the Buddha), South Ganbu Continent (Datang territory).

Detailed explanation: The Dongsheng Shenzhou mentioned in "Journey to the West" is one of the "four continents" of Buddhism. The Four Continents of Buddhism is a paraphrase of Sanskrit, abbreviated as "Four Continents".

Buddhism believes that Mount Meru (the sacred mountain of Indian Buddhism) has four continents in the Aral Sea. That is, the East Shengshen (Shen) Continent, the South Ganbu Continent, the West Cattle Goods (He) Continent, and the North Julu Continent. Wu Chengen arranged the "Four Major Continents" as the world under the jurisdiction of the Jade Emperor, and made the Buddha Rulai the head of Xiniu Hezhou, and Tang monks went there to get the scriptures.

The starting point of Tang monks' scriptures is the eastern land corresponding to the western sky, that is, the Tang Empire in the southern Ganbu continent. Further east of the South Ganbu Continent is the Dongsheng Divine Continent. Wu Chengen imagined that there was a "proud country" in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and Huaguo Mountain in the country was the birthplace of Sun Wukong; And this mountain is the dragon vein of the "ten continents and three islands" of the Taoist immortal system.

Xiniuhe Island is one of the four continents in Buddhist legend (including Dongsheng Shenzhou, South Ganbu Continent and North Julu Continent). It is guarded by the Western Wide-Eyed Heavenly King, one of the Four Heavenly Kings. In China's ** "Journey to the West", the Da Lei Yin Temple where the Buddha is located is located in Xiniu Hezhou.

Southern Ganbu Continent, Buddhist terminology. It is one of the "four major continents (including Dongsheng Shenzhou, West Niuhe Continent and North Julu Continent)". Located in the Aral Sea in the south of Mount Meru, it is also known as "Yan Fu" and "Yan Futi".

It is named after the abundant Ganbu tree on the island. This continent is shaped like a car, and there is a vajra throne in the continent, and all bodhisattvas will ascend to enlightenment and sit on this seat. The south side of the continent is three and a half years, and the east, west, and north sides are each two thousand miles long.

Beiju Luzhou, among the gods and Buddhas who have cultivated the Buddha's door and fruits, many of them are Taoist people under the Sanqing Sect, but they are recruited by Rulai, such as the Fuxian Zhenren in the "Yuxu Twelve Gate People" under the Yuan Shi Tianzun, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun and Cihang Dao people, all went to Rulai and left, and became the later Fuxian Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva and Guanyin Bodhisattva respectively. Sanqing felt disheartened. Then an agreement was reached with Rulai:

The Jiuzhou Island and the Heavenly Realm were redivided into four continents, namely Dongsheng Shenzhou, South Danbu Continent, West Niuhe Continent, and North Julu Continent. Dongfang Dongsheng Shenzhou is composed of many overseas immortal mountains and immortal islands in the three islands of ten continents, governed by Sanqing, which is inhabited by Sanqing and a group of heavenly gods, heavenly immortals, and gods of the three realms. In the west, Niusui Hezhou is the sphere of influence of Rulai, with the Leiyin Temple of Tianzhu Linghu Mountain as the center, where thousands of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, King Kong, etc., are governed by the Buddha himself.
