Tang Priest is also a kind and sincere, strong-willed, compassionate and kind ascetic monk, tireless and fearless, but still a little fatuous and stubborn, unable to distinguish right from wrong. He is a devout and persistent Buddhist. He is steadfast in the process of learning the scriptures, never slacking off, never being confused by wealth, never giving in to death, and persevering will eventually achieve positive results. On the other hand, he is kind-hearted, and even cruel enemies can be forgiven.
Tang Priest, also known as Tang Sanzang, is a character in The Journey to the West, one of China's four classical novels. His previous life was Jin, the second disciple of the Tathagata, and his prototype was Xuanzang, a monk in the Tang Dynasty. Xuanzang was born in Luoyang, Henan Province today. His common name is "Chen Yi" and his legal name is "Xuanzang". He was honored as "Master Sanzang" and later called "Tang Priest".
