Reading Journey to the West has 800 words.

As we all know, The Journey to the West is one of the four classical novels of China. It is conceivable that its literary value is very high. China people don't know the essence of their country's literature at all. How can they do this? To this end, I deliberately used the summer vacation to get to know it.

When I closed the last page of that thick "classic", there were really many feelings in my mind! Take the Monkey King as an example. He is the most glorious image in the book. Compared with the chapter "Making a scene in Heaven" at the beginning of the article, some people may think that he is much ado about nothing, loves to provoke "authority" and even wants to be a "jade emperor", but I think this highlights his love for freedom, his courage to resist, and the "place where the strong live" advocated by this era. However, if the Monkey King really became the Jade Emperor, I'm afraid even the sky will be stabbed. As for the image of a rebel on the way to the Western Heaven, he is no longer a hero who wears a tight hoop and a tiger skin skirt and is bent on lifting the magic disaster for the world. In the face of many difficulties, he was indomitable and resourceful. On his way to learn from the Buddhist scriptures in the West, he tried his best to protect Tang Priest. His spirit of doing everything except evil is like bringing a "god" to that era. But the Monkey King has many shortcomings! Sometimes he is too reckless, just like "Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon". Although he was eager to see monsters, he was so impatient that he gave the stick to "Man" without saying anything, and then he met a "compassionate" holy monk like Tang Yan. The result is Tang Yan's "dismissal"-"Go!"

Let's start with "Little Tang" (Tang Priest). As a master, he is very strict with his disciples and often teaches them to be "compassionate". As a monk, he does good deeds, accumulates virtues, harms others and harms himself, and sows good seeds for people; As a scholar, people are amazed at his strong will and persistent pursuit spirit. Not confused by wealth, not conquered by death. His firm belief that he would never give up until he reached his goal made him finally succeed. However, sometimes he is a bit "old-fashioned". He has wronged the Monkey King many times, regardless of transvestite, so that he finally had to invite Pig Bajie to Huaguoshan to invite his master elder brother. I really don't have a good impression of his behavior, but it's natural to go to Wan Li to learn from others.

When it comes to Pig Bajie, people always associate him with such unpleasant words as "lazy and selfish", "harming others and benefiting themselves, and forgetting righteousness". Indeed, Pig Bajie has done something similar to "shooting himself in the foot". However, on the tortuous road of learning from Buddhist scriptures as a teacher in the Western Heaven, although there is no extraordinary skill of the Monkey King, he has also made many military achievements. Although he has many shortcomings, I don't think he is ugly or disgusting at all. On the contrary, behind his shortcomings, I was deeply moved by his honesty and humanity!

Friar Sand is a loyal guardian on the way for Tang Priest to learn Buddhist scriptures, and also a disciple who least worries Master. Shoulder the heavy burden of Qian Shan, without a single complaint. Senior brother makes conflicts and mediates reconciliation from them; Master was killed and stepped forward to save him from death. Although he seldom speaks, he is very brave in the battle to protect Master.

In short, these characters add a lot of color to this book! Although I can't analyze the "connotation" that the author wants to express, I also get a lot of fun from this book. Bottom line: This is a masterpiece!

Thoughts on reading The Journey to the West

Today I read The Journey to the West, one of the ancient "Four Great Classical Novels". This famous book was written by an ancient man named Wu Cheng'en. Introduce him first. Wu Cheng'en was born in Sheyang Mountain (now Huai 'an, Jiangsu). In the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing (1550), he was a juren. In the forty-five years of Jiajing (1566), he served as a county official in Changxing, Zhejiang Province, and as a Jing in his later years.

The story of God buddha magic has accumulated a creative system and rich artistic experience in China, and is also influenced by foreign Buddhist literature. Immortals and ghosts are not only the products of ancient primitive religions, but also the fictions of alchemists, Taoist priests, artists, folk artists and literati since Qin and Han Dynasties. The Journey to the West's artistic fiction is based on traditional artistic experience and religious concepts and customs of this society, but it also incorporates the author's own feelings. In people's traditional ideas, immortals are the embodiment of justice, but in The Journey to the West, Wu Cheng'en treats gods and demons equally. The Jade Emperor, Grand Priest and the Buddha in the West are all the targets of being teased. Many demons are affable, humane and compassionate, among which the Monkey King and the Monkey King are the most prominent. He is a demon monkey in the mouth of the Jade Emperor, and is not recognized by heaven, but he is sincere and lovely, and is not bound by the rules of heaven. In pursuit of freedom and equality, he made a scene in heaven and dared to fight against heaven and God. He is my favorite hero. Among The Journey to the West, Wu Cheng'en also created many funny people, among which Pig Bajie is the most typical representative. He is the most insincere person on the way to learn from the scriptures. He has been planning to divide his luggage and go back to Gaolaozhuang. He was also greedy and sleepy, stealing and playing, and made many jokes along the way. He is a fool and trampling object in the Monkey King's mouth, but this character is vividly written by Wu Cheng'en, which is not only annoying, but also lovable. My least favorite character in this book is Tang Priest, who is pedantic and useless. He does not distinguish between good and evil, nor between loyalty and treachery. The Monkey King went through all kinds of hardships to protect him, but he was often provoked by others, and he always read the "hoop curse" without careful investigation, and even drove the Monkey King back to Huaguoshan, so he hated him. But there is also something worth learning from him, that is, for his own ideals and pursuits, he is brave in spite of difficulties and obstacles.

After watching Journey to the West, I was deeply touched by the twists and turns of the plot and the strange experiences of Tang Priest and his disciples, which left a deep impression on me.

Luo Guanzhong, the author of this book, tells the readers the story of Tang Priest's master and apprentice, who went through hardships and dangers, subduing demons and subduing demons, and gaining the true scriptures in 81 difficulties. It is this bizarre story that won the readers' hearts and made this book one of the four classical novels in ancient China.

The Journey to the West created four distinct characters: Tang Priest-sincere and persistent to the Buddha, the Monkey King-upright and upright, with superb skills as the bane of monsters, Pig Bajie-greedy for money and lust, but not lacking in kindness, Friar Sand-kind-hearted and content with his destiny. These four characters have their own characteristics and different personalities, which just form a sharp contrast, so I have to admire the author's superb writing skills. Perhaps the author's ability to portray characters is his subtlety. Among them, the Monkey King is my favorite. Because of his miraculous skills and superb skills, he succeeded in obtaining the true scriptures to protect Tang Priest, and he became a hero in my mind. Moreover, he has a rebellious mentality, and his brave spirit of fighting against powerful forces makes me appreciate it very much.

It is written in the book that Tang Priest's mentoring managers experienced eighty-one difficulties, which reminds me of their persistence, courage and perseverance. This is really a spirit worth learning. Think about yourself giving up halfway, anticlimactic, and can't help but feel ashamed that you didn't stick to it like them. Perhaps this is what I lack, as long as I can finish one thing from beginning to end, whether it is success or failure, as long as I try my best to do it, it is also successful for me! Because I did it, and I stuck to it until the end.

I hope it will be helpful to you and I hope it will be adopted.
