From [Wikipedia]: “Journey to the West” is a Chinese novel published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty and attributed to Wu Cheng'en. It is regarded as one of the great Chinese novels, and has been described as arguably the most popular literary work in East Asia. It was widely known in English-speaking countries through the British scholar Arthur Waley's 1942 abridged translation Monkey. “Journey to the West” has strong roots in Chinese folk religion, Chinese mythology, Chinese Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoist and Buddhist folklore, and the pantheon of Taoist immortals and Buddhist bodhisattvas are still reflective of certain Chinese religious attitudes today. Pantheon in religion is a set of gods belonging to a particular religion. The novel is a fictionalized and fantastic account of the pilgrimage of the Chinese Buddhist monk Xuanzang, who went on a 19 year journey to India in the 7th century AD to seek out and collect Buddhist scriptures (sūtras). The novel retains the broad outline of Xuanzang's own account, Records of the Western Regions, but embellishes it with fantasy elements from folk tales and the author's invention; embellish means “make more attractive.” In the story, it deals entirely with the earlier exploits of Sun Wukong, a monkey born on Flower Fruit Mountain from a stone egg that forms from an ancient rock created by the coupling of Heaven and Earth, and learns the art of the Tao, 72 polymorphic transformations, combat, and secrets of immortality, and whose guile and force earns him the name Qitian Dasheng or "Great Sage Equal to Heaven" and was tasked by Bodhisattva Guanyin and the Buddha to become Tang Sanzang's first disciple, with journeying to India and provides him with 3 other disciples who agree to help him in order to atone for their sins: Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing and White Dragon Horse. To "atone for sins" is to make amends for wrongdoing to achieve reconciliation. Riding the latter, Sanzang and his 3 disciples journey to a mythical version of India and find enlightenment through the power and virtue of cooperation. The modern 100-chapter form of Journey to the West dates from the 16th century. Embellished stories based on Xuanzang's journey to India had circulated through oral storytelling for centuries. They appeared in book form as early as the Southern Song dynasty (1127 AD to 1279 AD). The Yongle Encyclopedia, completed in 1408, contains excerpts of a version of the story written in colloquial Chinese. Colloquial Chinese refers to the everyday, informal spoken language used in daily conversations among native speakers, distinct from formal written Chinese. The earliest surviving edition of “Journey to the West” was published in Nanjing in 1592. Two earlier editions were published between 1522 and 1566, but no copies of them survived. The authorship of “Journey to the West” is traditionally ascribed to Wu Cheng'en, but the question is complicated by the fact that much of the novel's material originated from folk tales. Anthony C. Yu, writing in 2012, warned that "this vexing dispute over the novel's authorship, similar to that on the priority of its textual versions, see-sawed back and forth for nearly a century without resolution.”
