Original text:

Chaos distinguishes between heaven and earth, and no one sees it. Since Pangu broke the HarmonyOS system, it has opened up a clear and turbid difference from here.

Covering the crowd and respecting benevolence, I found that everything became beautiful. If you want to know the power of nature, you must look at the Journey to the West.

Translation:

No one can see clearly when the land is not divided and the world is in chaos. Since Pangu created the world, the clarity and turbidity have been separated from each other, and heaven and earth have been separated. Everything in the world depends on the supreme kindness and overwhelming grace, and the creation of all things has achieved great merits. If you want to know the law of the change of heaven and earth and the mystery of the growth of all things, you must look at this The Journey to the West.

Creation background

In the first year of Zhenguan of Emperor Taizong (627), Xuanzang Tianzhu (India), a 25-year-old monk, went hiking. After starting from Chang 'an, he passed through Central Asia, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and finally arrived in India. He studied there for more than two years and delivered a speech in a large-scale debate on Buddhist classics, which was well received.

In the 19th year of Zhenguan (645), Xuanzang returned to Chang 'an and brought back 657 Buddhist scriptures, which was a sensation. Later, Xuanzang dictated what he had learned in the Journey to the West, which was compiled by his disciples into 12 volume "Records of the Western Regions of Datang". But this book is mainly about the history, geography and transportation of the country seen on the road, and there is no story.

As for "Datang The biography of Master Sanzang" written by his disciples Huili and Yan Cong, it adds a lot of myths to Xuanzang's experience. Since then, the story of Tang Priest's Buddhist scriptures has been widely circulated among the people in China.
