4 thoughts on “How did the monkey appear in the book "Journey to the West"?”

  1. As mentioned earlier, its mythical color becomes strong in the process of spreading the story. However, this is what we assume that it spreads in the people, but the "appearance of monkeys" has made this assumption a certain confirmation. The prevalence of vulgar telling makes the Sinicization of Buddhist stories more obvious. We found the written evidence that the "monkey" existed in the story of the scriptures from the "Datang Sanzang Poetry Poetry", which was published in the Southern Song Dynasty's Temple, which was published in the Southern Song Dynasty.
    This This is a turning point in the accumulated evolution of the "Journey to the West". The emergence of "monkeys" in "Poetry" is not abrupt. Prior to "Poetry of the Books", the folk had the popularity of "monkeys". For example, "Chen Pai Qian Meiling Mei Lost Wife" in "Qingping Mountain Hall" was a work of the Song Dynasty. The description of the variety of changes ", Liu Houcun also had a poem" Boarding the Monkey Walking Monkey and Boarding Poetry and Boarding the Crane Master ".
    The appearance of "monkey" brings the first direct consequence is that the appearance of non -historical figures, "Huaguo Mountain Ziyun Cave 84,000 copper -headed iron macaque king" is the image of a monkey essence In the words, there are also gods and monsters such as "Deep Sand God" and "White Tiger Essence". Although the storyline in the "Poetry of the Bible" is rarely related to the hundred times "Journey to the West", from "" Since the Book of Poetry ", the main line of" Journey to the West "has developed the story of the story of the story of the gods and magic stories.
    The emergence of monkeys is a historical figure that lets the fictitious gods, and religious stories have evolved into a turning point in the story of the gods. This has also completed the place of historical composition in religious stories, and the transformation of historical stories to literary stories. We trace a monkey's source and ask for a few questions. When does the monkey appear in the story of the scriptures? What is the prototype of the monkey? The academic world has no uniform answer now.
    But we can see that monkeys must be circulated in the people before the Southern Song Dynasty, so monkeys will bring local components in the people. Looking at the academic circles about monkeys now, I think it can be confident that monkeys are the product of cultural fusion, with strong local colors. In "Poetry Poetry", "Huaguo Mountain Ziyundong 84,000 copper -headed iron macaque king" is also a white -fitting talent. This is a powerful evidence of the Chineseization of Buddhist stories, and the West Queen Mother Story introduced.
    The source is a local myth. I guess here that the appearance of the monkey is the product of the Buddhist story of Xuanzang from the Buddhist story of the temple and the product brought about by the localization process. It's "Tengu" and so on. The emergence of monkeys is the product of the mysterious color in the Buddhist story and implanted in the national symbols. On the other hand, the spread of the people brings processing the story of this Buddhist scripture, excavating the imagination space in the story, and eventually Under the integration, a qualitative change has brought about the monkey.
    The monkeys become the protagonist, making the story of scripture developing into a hero legend may become smaller. As mentioned earlier, a assumption that Buddhists magicized the origin of Xuanzang in order to promote Buddhism and exaggerate the difficulties he encountered. To some extent, there is a possibility of developing the story of the scriptures into a hero legend. The marginalization of εΎ— makes the "big discourse" of the scripture story more marginal to the legend.
    The emergence of monkeys brought another significant change is that the expression of historical time transformed into a expression of myth time. We found that when Xuanzang or the protagonist's historical story, the narrative time was short -lived, and it was also promoted along the logic time. The historical time of logic cannot satisfy the monkey's time. At this time, the historical time has to be located in mythical time. Several "5,400 years old" appeared. Get rid of the constraints of history.

  2. The Journey to the West explained that the appearance of the monkey was a stone that absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, and he jumped out of the stone seam.

  3. Journey to the West said that Sun Wukong jumped out of a stone with the essence of heaven and earth, and Sun Wukong learned a lot of skills at Bodhi ancestors after jumping out.
