1. The story of the Monkey King's havoc in Heaven in the first seven chapters is the essence of the book, which shows the Monkey King's rebellious spirit.
2. From Chapter 8 to Chapter 12, I wrote about the origin of Tang Priest, Wei Zhi's snake-cutting, and Emperor Taizong's entry into the underworld, explaining the origin of Confucian classics; 3. From the 13th century to the 1st century, Tang Priest and his disciples went through 8 1 difficulties on the way to learn from the scriptures, and finally achieved a positive result, and returned to the eastern land of the Tang Dynasty with the scriptures. Content abstract: The Journey to the West begins the story of the whole book with seven descriptions of the birth of the Monkey King and the havoc in Heaven.
At the beginning of the novel, it is written that there is a flower and fruit mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and there is a stone on the top. Borrow the essence of the sun and the moon to give birth to a stone monkey. Later, because he successfully broke into water curtain cave, he was worshipped as the "Monkey King" by the monkeys in Huaguoshan.
In order to live forever, the Monkey King asked for advice from all over the world. He got the guidance of Niu, the founder of Bodhi in Hezhou, and was named the Great Sage of Qitian. He learned to change the number of earthworms by seventy-two, and the somersault cloud is feasible. When he returned, he defeated the devil incarnate, recovered the 72-hole demon king, became sworn enemies with the six demon kings, borrowed the weapons of the Dragon Palace, and got Dayu Dinghai Shenzhen (the original book "Shenzhen"), which was turned into a golden hoop, but it was large and small, weighing 13,500 Jin.
He went to the underworld again and erased the monkey's name from the book of life and death. The Dragon King and King Qin Guang complained to heaven that the Jade Emperor would send troops to capture them.
Taibai Venus gave an idea to call the Monkey King into the upper bound and named him Marvin Bi, the royal horse supervisor. At first, the Monkey King didn't know the size of his position. Later, when he learned the truth, he beat the heaven and returned to Huaguoshan, calling himself "the Great Sage of Qitian".
The Jade Emperor sent Li Tianwang to lead the heavenly soldiers to capture the Monkey King. The Monkey King defeated the giant spirit god and two generals, Nezha, and seven brothers became sworn brothers. Taibai Venus came to Guo Hua for the second time, and asked the Monkey King to be the great sage in the sky and manage the flat peach garden.
The Monkey King ate flat peaches secretly, stirred the flat peach banquet of the Empress Dowager, stole the elixir of Grandfather Lao Zi, and fled the Heavenly Palace. The Jade Emperor sent Li Tianwang to lead the heavenly soldiers to capture them, but both sides could not hold on. Guanyin Bodhisattva recommended Erlang National Football Team as an assistant.
The Monkey King's gambling against Erlang God is a tie. Grandpa Laojun threw the diamond ring out of the worse gate and hit Wukong.
The Monkey King was caught. The Jade Emperor ordered the heavenly soldiers to take the knife and chop the axe, and the southern bucket star king burned, and the thunder department was struck by lightning, so that Wukong could not be harmed.
Grandpa Laojun also put Wukong in the Eight Diagrams Furnace to exercise, which opened on July 49, and the Monkey King hid in Xun Palace. There is no smoke without fire, so he was not injured. After jumping out of the gossip furnace, the heavenly palace stopped the chaos without god, and got into a fistfight with Wang Lingguan, the assistant of You Sheng Zhen Jun, and Jiang Lei, a 36-member, in the Tong Ming Hall outside the Lingxiao Hall, which alarmed the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor ordered Ling Guan and Yi Sheng Zhen Jun to invite the Tathagata and put the Monkey King under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years (the "five hundred years" in the original Journey to the West is very long, not a specific time).
According to the fourteenth chapter of the original work, when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, Wuxing Mountain fell from the sky. According to this calculation, by the time of Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan, it had actually passed about 600 years.
When hungry, give him iron balls to eat; If you are thirsty, give him molten copper juice to drink. After going through all kinds of hardships, the four men finally came to visit the Buddha in Lingshan Holy Land, but because they didn't send personnel to Ananda and Gaya, they only got wordless scriptures.
The ancient Buddha sent the elder White Bear to light a lamp to remind the Tang Priest and his disciples to return to Leiyin Temple, and the Tang King gave them a purple and gold bowl. Only 35 classics and 5,048 volumes were returned to the East. I don't want to be full of eighty-one difficulties. I was thrown into the river by four old catfish in Tongtian River, and the scroll was wet.
Tang Sanzang sent Buddhist scriptures back to Chang 'an and Lingshan. Sanzang was named Tangjiali Buddha, the Monkey King was named the defeated Buddha, Pig Bajie was named the altar envoy, Friar Sand was named the golden arhat, and Bai was named the Eight Dragons.
The Monkey King made a positive result, and the golden hoop naturally fell off. Since then, the five saints have come true, and * * * enjoys bliss.
This article comes from the writing background of Wu Cheng'en and The Journey to the West in Ming Dynasty: In the first year of Zhenguan of Emperor Taizong (627), a 25-year-old monk Xuanzang Tianzhu (India) was hiking. After starting from Chang 'an, he passed through Central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and finally arrived in India.
He studied there for more than two years and gave a speech at a large-scale debate on Buddhist classics, which was well received. In the 19th year of Zhenguan (645), Xuanzang returned to Chang 'an and brought back 657 Buddhist scriptures, which was a sensation.
Later, Xuanzang dictated what he had learned about his journey to the West, which was compiled by his disciples into a 12 volume of "Records of the Western Regions of Datang". But this book is mainly about the history, geography and transportation of countries seen on the road, and there is no story.
As for "Datang The biography of Master Sanzang" written by his disciples Huihe and Yan Cong, it adds a lot of myths to Xuanzang's experience. Since then, the story of Tang Priest's Buddhist scriptures has been widely circulated among the people in China. There were poems by three monks in the Tang Dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty, Tang Sanzang and Pan in the Jin Dynasty, Tang Sanzang's "Learning from the Western Heaven" in Wu Changling, and "Great Sage" in the Fifth Ming Dynasty, all of which laid the foundation for The Journey to the West's creation.
It is on the basis of Chinese folk literature, scripts and operas that Wu Cheng'en completed this great literary masterpiece through hard re-creation. The Journey to the West author Wu Cheng'en (controversial) lived in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and experienced five periods: Hongzhi in Xiaozong, Jiajing in Sejong in Wuzong, Qin Long in Mu Zong and Wanli in Zongshen.
The social situation in the middle and late Ming dynasty was very different from that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Political class contradictions, ethnic contradictions and contradictions within the ruling class have intensified and become increasingly acute. The ideological and cultural enlightenment rose, the trend of human liberation rose, civic literature became increasingly prosperous, novel and drama creation entered a period of all-round prosperity, and capitalism sprouted economically. About the author: Wu Cheng'en (1506- 1583), a native of Sheyang Mountain, is an author of The Journey to the West, one of the four classical novels in China, a novelist in Ming Dynasty, and a native of the lower reaches of the river in Shanyang County, Huai 'an City, Jiangsu Province.
There are hundreds of The Journey to the West published in Ming Dynasty, and there is no author's signature. The author of The Journey to the West is Wu Cheng'en. First of all, Wu Yumou, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, introduced Wu Cheng'en in Yang Shan's Legacy: "During Jiajing period, Wu Enhou was loyal and righteous, and I was named Sheyang Mountain, and I was a scholar in Huaixian Wenmu", "Read Huaixian Wenmu written by The Journey to the West". Since childhood, Wu Cheng'en has been reading extensively in Minhui, especially fond of fairy tales.
After repeated setbacks in the imperial examination, he made up the examination and gave tribute to students in Jiajing. In the forty-five years of Jiajing (1566), he was appointed as the director of Changxing County, Zhejiang Province.
Due to the difficult career, I was in my later years.
2. What are the parts of Journey to the West?
Journey to the West has 100 chapters and is divided into three parts.
Part 1: Part 1 goes back to Part 7. Explain the origin of the Monkey King, the way to learn art, and make a scene in heaven.
Part two: eight times to twelve. He wrote about the origin of the Tang Priest, Wei Zhi killed the snake, Emperor Taizong entered the underworld, and Guanyin Bodhisattva found the right person to learn from the scriptures, and explained the reasons for learning from the scriptures.
Part III: From 13 to the end. Tang Priest and his disciples went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, surrendered to Bai, Zhu Bajie and Friar Sand, and finally reached Lingshan after 81 difficulties (actually only 77 difficulties). When they saw the Tathagata, they took the scriptures, brought them back to the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and brought them back to heaven to make a positive result.

Baidu encyclopedia-journey to the west
The Journey to the West's book can be divided into several parts. What did you write most of it?
The Journey to the West's one hundred times, roughly divided into three parts.
The first seven chapters are about the immortal monkey, the Dragon Palace, the hell and the Heavenly Palace. They mainly talk about the extraordinary background and magical power of the Monkey King, the protector of Buddhist scriptures, which highlights the fighting theme of the book and is also the most wonderful part of the book. The Monkey King was originally a monkey king born of gravel, without father or mother.
He jumped to find a "paradise" under the Huotie Bridge in water curtain cave, and led a group of monkeys to live a comfortable life "not under the jurisdiction of Kirin, not under the control of Phoenix, and not bound by the human throne". He crossed the ocean alone, learned from the teacher and learned 72 changes, one of which was 108,000 miles.
Dragon Palace just got the golden hoop, and went to hades to cross out the names in the book of life and death. The Monkey King disturbed the order of the Three Realms, and the Dragon King and the Prince Yan appealed to heaven.
The Jade Emperor failed to "send a general to capture him", so he came to "harness him by decree", named him "Monkey King" and made him "Bi Marvin" in the sky. He was cheated, but the Monkey King saw through his trick, rebelled again and again, released Tianma one after another, stole all the ripe peaches in Yuan Pan, ate up the old man's elixir and was captured. From the eighth to the twelfth reincarnation, for example, Guanyin imitated a monk, Kevin·Z beheaded a dragon, and Tang Priest was born. This paper mainly introduces the origin of Buddhist scriptures and the birth experiences of four other members of Buddhist scriptures group, which is the connection and transition of the two main parts.
From the thirteenth time to the hundredth time, I went to the Western Heaven to learn from the scriptures. The Monkey King was forced to convert to Buddhism to protect the Tang Priest's scriptures, and with the help of Bajie and Friar Sand, he achieved a "positive result" all the way through forty-one times and eighty-one times.
During the journey to the Western Heaven, I passed nine countries, including Baoxiang, Wuji, Chechi, Xiliang, Jisai, Zhuzi, Bhikkhu, Mifa and Tianzhu, and three places, namely Fengxian, Yuhua and Jinping (all belonging to Tianzhu Kingdom). These are countries on earth; It also defeated the white and black pine forests in Baihuling, the Jin Yinjiao King in Pingdingshan, the El Nino King (Hong Haier) in No.1 Mountain Fire Cloud Cave, the Jilong King in Heishui River, the Linggan King in Tongtian River, the Kirin King in Jindou Mountain, the Ruyi in Xieyang Mountain, the monkey in June, the hooligans and cows in the Flame Mountain, the plant monster in Muxian Temple, the old Buddha with yellow eyebrows in Lei Yin and the one in The Hill of Seven Colors. I also experienced a misunderstanding: I had a fight with Daxian, Zhenyuan, who was in the armed clearance.
4. What are the parts of Journey to the West?
Journey to the West can be roughly divided into three parts:
The first part is the first to the seventh time, writing the story of the Monkey King's birth, which caused a big scene in the three realms;
The second part is from chapter 8 to chapter 12, in which Emperor Taizong was possessed by ghosts and explained the reasons for learning stories.

Along the way, the master and the apprentice fought against the demons, went through eighty-one difficulties (actually, it was only seventy-seven difficulties, and the first four were before learning from Buddhism), and finally reached the Lingshan Mountain in West Tianzhu.

6. Journey to the West is divided into three parts. What are the first seven chapters about?
The story of 1-7 rounds of Journey to the West (causing havoc in Heaven) is the essence of the book, which shows the Monkey King's rebellious spirit.
The "Heavenly Palace" in the novel reflects the people's resistance in China feudal society through fairy tales. Of course, fantasy novel's reflection of reality has its own characteristics, which is different from ordinary literary works that directly reflect real life.
The rebels in the "Tiangong" erected the banner of "the Monkey King" and put forward the slogan "The emperors take turns to do it and come to my house next year". One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers will flee with the wind, and the rule of the Heavenly Palace is so shaky that the Jade Emperor has to ask for help. These fictional and fantasy plots are all based on the peasant uprising and peasant war in reality.
This novel is based on the historical event of "Tang priest learning from the scriptures" and deeply depicts the social reality at that time through the author's artistic processing. The book mainly describes the story of the Monkey King's encounter with Tang Priest, Pig Bajie, Friar Sand after his birth, and his disturbance to the Heaven Palace. He went west to learn from the scriptures, demonized all the way, and after eighty-one difficulties, he finally arrived in the Western Heaven to meet the Tathagata Buddha, and finally the Five Saints died.
Extended data:
The Buddhist scriptures themselves also include forty-one short stories. Most of them have evil spirits. Although these goblins come from different backgrounds, they have one thing in common, that is, they obstruct the cause of learning from Buddhism. Many of them are actually the illusion of natural disasters, but when they become demons and appear as one of the evil forces in the battle, they gain social significance in themselves.
Wu Cheng'en focused on describing every specific battle on the Western Heaven Road, and how the Monkey King won in the struggle against the evil forces that blocked Buddhist scriptures. Generally speaking, the story of learning from the West reflects to a great extent the spirit of China people to overcome difficulties and forge ahead courageously, and reflects the desire and confidence of China people to eliminate all evil forces in society and conquer nature.
The Journey to the West's artistic charm depends not only on his fantastic imagination, but also on his interest. Among China's classical novels, The Journey to the West is arguably the most interesting and entertaining work. Although the journey to learn from the scriptures is full of dangerous mountains and waters, monsters and ghosts emerge in endlessly, and the Monkey King's victory is hard-won, the reader's reading experience is always relaxed and full of pleasure, without any sense of tension and heaviness.
