Hu Shi believes that the prototype of the Monkey King is Hanuman, an Indian monkey. Hu Shi introduced that although The Journey to the West has been circulating for hundreds of years since his book was written, ordinary readers have never been very clear about the origin and evolution of characters' stories.

It's like "a grandson monkey jumped out of a crack in the stone". It was not until Lu Xun's A Brief History of Chinese Novels created a precedent of this kind of novels that the Monkey King was put on the table as a serious academic issue.

Lu Xun believes that since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there have been more and more translations of Buddhist classics, so Indian stories have been widely circulated among the people. Scholars like their novelty and strangeness, so they use them intentionally or unintentionally, and these stories gradually become China.

As for the image of the Monkey King, Lu Xun thinks it should come from the folklore of China. He took Wu, a monster in Li Gongzuo's novels in the Tang Dynasty, as evidence, and thought that the Monkey King evolved from it, so that the prototype of the Monkey King came from China.

Hu Shi has different views on this. He said: "I have always suspected that this magical monkey is not made in China, but imported from India. Perhaps even the helpless Qi myth has been imitated by India. " He found a monkey named Hanuman in the oldest Indian epic Ramayana, which he thought was the earliest prototype of the Monkey King.
