Dongsheng Shenzhou proudly came to the country and the fairy stone on the top of Huaguo Mountain gave birth to a stone monkey. . The stone monkey was promoted as the Monkey King. Later, Shihou became a disciple of Sun Wukong. He was taught by the Bodhi Patriarch in Hezhou, Xiniu, and was named Sun Wukong. He learned seventy-two transformations and performed an eighteen thousand-mile somersault. Go to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea and borrow the Ruyi Golden Cudgel. Go to the underworld and cancel the book of life and death. The Dragon King and Ksitigarbha went to heaven to complain, and the Jade Emperor wanted to arrest them. Taibai Jinxing was summoned to the upper realm to be Bi Mawen. Knowing the truth, the Monkey Queen broke out of Tianmen and returned to Huaguo Mountain, where she was called the Monkey King.

The Jade Emperor sent King Li Tian to capture him, but the Monkey King defeated Erlang Shen and Nezha. Taibai Jinxing asked Wukong to go to heaven to be the Monkey King and manage the peach garden. Wukong stole the peaches, disturbed the feast, and escaped from the heavenly palace by stealing the golden elixir. The Jade Emperor sent King Li Tian to arrest him again, but the two sides couldn't stop arguing. Guanyin Bodhisattva recommended Erlang Shen, and the two fought with each other to no avail. Taishang Laojun used a hidden weapon to hit Wukong. After being captured, slashing with knives, axes, fire, and lightning strikes were ineffective. Taishang Laojun put Wukong in the alchemy furnace for 7749 days, but he was still unharmed, and then fought in the Heavenly Palace. The Jade Emperor invites the Tathagata, and Wukong is pressed against the Five Elements Mountain. He is hungry and eats iron balls, and is thirsty and drinks copper juice.

Due to the troubles in Nanfangbu Prefecture, the Tathagata sent Guanyin to the Eastern Land to find the Buddhist scripture collectors in the Western Heaven to persuade all living beings.

A 500-word summary and abbreviation essay on Journey to the West

It has been nearly five hundred years since "Journey to the West" was published. Generations of us scholars read this book, and generations of scholars study this book. , have we truly understood and studied this book thoroughly? No! Because, all we can see about "Journey to the West" is that it is a great romantic novel.

At the beginning of the 20th century, two literary authorities, Lu Xun and Hu Shi, made some comments on "Journey to the West". The conclusion was still: a novel about gods and demons (Lu Xun) and a mythological novel (Hu Shi). The conclusion of "novel" is like the "Five Elements Mountain" that has suppressed Sun Wukong for five hundred years, and the comments of authorities are like the "pressing posts" posted on the Five Elements Mountain.

Is it really like what the authors of "Journey to the West" predicted: five hundred years later there will be "Tang Monk (a sentient being who seeks to free himself from the delusion of self-nature)" who will remove the "pressing post"? Will Sun Wukong release the "heart ape" (a homophone of "wish") and "fully release" the "Bodhicitta"? In fact, the authors of "Journey to the West" have already used "Bima Wen" to tell all living beings: "Journey to the West" is a "scripted scolding essay (a homophone of 'Bima Wen')". We should study Chinese classics carefully, break away from the barriers of pure literature, and truly understand what this "scripted scolding", which uses gods and demons as its pen to scold the world, is actually criticizing.

Therefore, we should seriously reinterpret "Journey to the West". The 100-chapter version of "Journey to the West" is one of the four great classics in ancient my country with the largest readership and the widest influence.

Since its publication, the mysteries such as the theme and author of "Journey to the West" have triggered unremitting exploration by literati of all ages. However, in the end, everyone was only interested in the "personnel affairs" of the "Purple Gold Bowl" and refused to disclose it. The "Purple Gold Alms Bowl" was given to the gods, so it is impossible to know all the "secret truths" secretly conveyed in it. Lu Xun once criticized some "disciples of the three religions" in "A Brief History of Chinese Novels" and "all have to follow suit" in "Journey to the West", pointing out: "However, the author is called a Confucian scholar, and this book is actually a game, not a language. "Tao", and there is no "small words and great meaning".

Hu Shi said in "Journey to the West: A Textual Research": "The whole book aims to be humorous" and is "one of the greatest mythological novels in the world", "a myth with human meanings", " "Journey to the West" is at best an interesting comic novel, a mythological novel, without any subtle meaning, and at most it is just a bit of scolding cynicism." Very few people later agreed with the two masters' high opinions. However, due to the two masters' high authority and serious words, later generations of explorers lacked more convincing arguments and arguments. Therefore, textbooks such as "History of Chinese Literature" and "Cihai" have been published to this day. In dictionaries, "Journey to the West" is concluded as a romantic myth or "novel" of gods and demons.

Although some scholars later put forward reasonable views, due to the conclusions of authorities, these reasonable views were regarded as "far-fetched" and "street talk". Hu Shi once mentioned that "Journey to the West" "has human meanings", "a little scolding" and "cynicism", and almost walked into the "door of wonders" formed by the eighty-one difficulties in the hundreds of chapters of "Journey to the West" ", but after all, it just passed through the "door". "Journey to the West" is still "Bima Wen" rather than "a scolding essay", so it cannot "enter the mainstream".

If we use the "Six Books of Chinese Characters" as a reading method, read carefully while experiencing life, and study in depth what "human meaning" is in "Journey to the West" and how to use pen to "Swearing people", how to be "cynical". If you use the "Basic Theory of Infants" mentioned in "Journey to the West" and the "Teaching of Childish Innocence" by the Ming Dynasty thinker Li Zhi to interpret "Bima Wen", you may find that "Journey to the West" is a "scripted essay" It turns out that it is an article that uses pen to explore "the meaning of human beings", to "cynicize" and to "swear people".

Since "Journey to the West" is an article, it should be allowed to "enter the mainstream" and stop leaving all kinds of riddle-like regrets to the descendants of Yan and Huang. 1. The thinking system based on "human meaning" in "Journey to the West" has been from ancient times. The three religions are Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. The nine schools are Confucianism, Taoism, Yin-Yang School, Legalism, Mingjia, Mohism, Politicians, Zajia and Farmers. Novelists were classified as outside the ninth stream. Therefore, the authors of "Journey to the West" jokingly called "Journey to the West" an article that "has not entered the mainstream".

"Bi Ma Wen" is intentionally written in "Journey to the West", so how to understand it as a "script scolding essay", how to regard it as an article that can "enter the mainstream", and this article What kind of "flow" does it come from? To understand this mystery, we only need to carefully analyze the chapter structure of "Journey to the West". What is the "meaning of human beings"? "Meaning" is called "image" in ancient China, which is a spiritual phenomenon. "Human meaning" is the spiritual phenomenon reflected in all aspects of life. "Human" is the "subject" of this spiritual phenomenon. Using this "subject" By analyzing the chapter structure of the 100-chapter version of "Journey to the West", we can understand its secrets.

First of all, analyze the first to seventh chapters. The author writes from a big commotion in the heavenly palace of "Shengs who cultivate their own nature" to "Ape at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain", which is to write about the "heart" of all living beings who are "confused by their own nature".

What is the Heavenly Palace in "Journey to the West"? It is the spiritual world of pictograms that all sentient beings fantasize about. What is "mind"? It is the spiritual essence of living beings, and all behaviors of living beings are influenced by it. It is commonly said that only when the heart moves can there be action.

Therefore, the nature of the mind is an internal thing relative to the physical body of all living beings. There is a poem in "Journey to the West" that says: "Inside view does not recognize the cause of formlessness (Chapter 1)", which means that all living beings have no form. The inner world or spiritual phenomenon corresponding to the external image is located. The book cleverly "borrows" the behavior of a magical monkey to vividly describe this inner world or spiritual phenomenon that has no corresponding external image. "Journey to the West" There is also a poem in "Borrowing an egg to turn into a monkey to complete the great road (Chapter 1)". A Uproar in Heaven is written in seven chapters, just like "Zhuangzi."

Like "Inner Chapter", an "Inner Chapter" of "Journey to the West" is formed that takes people's inner world or spiritual phenomena as the main body. This is a very complete system of thinking with "human meaning" . In the first chapter, I wrote a mountain named "Huaguo Mountain". The word "flower" in the name of this mountain actually refers to the "name", "Laozi".

Chapter 1" says: "Tao can be said; it is not Tao. Name can be named; it is not named."

The "name" refers to people's inner world or a product of the spiritual realm. Because "name" is constantly developing and changing, ancient Chinese thinkers have always considered "name", which can be both "nameable" and "very famous", as the most basic proposition of Chinese philosophy.

Second, the author analyzes Chapters 8 to 14. 4. A 500-word summary abbreviation essay on Journey to the West

5. Award-winning essay: Reflections on reading 15 chapters of "Journey to the West"

I was walking home alone carrying a heavy schoolbag.

When I get home, I am faced with homework that will never be finished. Doing homework mechanically, sometimes, looking at the ink-like sky, my thoughts no longer know where to fly.

Those who call 123, abc, all day long, life is very boring! It’s so easy to look forward to the weekend, but what I look forward to in the end is not rest but a lot of homework! I feel like a caged bird! The thoughts in my heart have already flown to the claw digging country! Then I realized that the golden cage I was looking for was not as good as the free cry in the forest! When I read and read, my originally bright eyes wore thick glasses, and my happy heart no longer flew freely in the sky, but could only hide in a cage alone! Only you can taste the bitterness of study life, and only you know the happiness! Making fun out of hardship is our specialty! They were in small groups, telling jokes with unknown origins and chatting about things happening around them. No matter what the taste was, as long as it could relieve boredom! Only reading can make me happy! Books can even take me around the world! Sometimes I read a joke book and giggle alone, which makes my mother always look at me strangely! Sometimes when I read this novel, I often burst into tears when I see the moving parts.
