The Journey to the West's ideological content
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, 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.
If there were not too many large-scale peasant uprisings and peasant wars in history, the plot of "Make a scene in Heaven" could not be as bold as imagined, and the image of the Monkey King, a rebel, could not be so brilliant.
