  1. Journey To The West

    Not everyone can be a god, but we are all main characters of our own life. Wether you are trying to protect yourself from being eaten or you are planning on eating someone else, your thoughts and plans are all valid. No matter if they come true or not. Jokes aside above all I truly wish you all the very best luck.

  2. What do you guys think of Journey to the West? : r/literature

    Journey to the West is wonderful, but if it's not read unabridged, it's not really worth it, and reading it unabridged is damn tiring. The Waley translation is alright from a "Oh, look, China is so complex and exotic" standpoint (and this really is not intended to be negative) and is simple and quick enough, but it kind of eschews some of the ...

    A lot of people are familiar with this one, it's where the names "Pigsy" and "Sandy" came from that are commonly used in English. This version is only about 100 pages and is /heavily/ abridged. You only get a handful of the 81 adventures that are in the full story. I also think that the language is starting to feel a little dated as it was ...

  4. What is the point of "Journey to the West"? : r/AskChina

    It's a journey to enlightenment. Not just to have the scriptures, but as an allegory for the life path itself. Monkey is powerful. But he's also impulsive, emotional, impatient, and obsessed with the pleasures of the world like sweet peaches and good wine. But as time goes by, things happen.

    I just finished the Chinese Epic "Journey to The West".

  7. Worth reading journey to the west? : r/BlackMythWukong

    It may be surprising, but actually you're both correct. There are many ways to interpret Journey to the West, the simplest and most popular one being that it's a very entertaining fantasy novel that offers a story that's interesting enough. But in depth, Journey to the West is full of metaphors, allegories and hints.

  8. Thoughts on Journey to the West : r/Buddhism

    Throughout the journey all of Buddhist cosmology is evoked along with Taoist cosmology. My overall impression is that the novel takes all of that which is fantastical and spectacular about Buddhism, and using a worldly frame of reference creates a story with it. I think Journey to the West is well worth reading.
