Creation background
In the first year of Emperor Taizong, Xuanzang Tianzhu, a 25-year-old monk, went to school on foot. After leaving Chang 'an, he passed through Central Asia, Afghanistan and Pakistan. He went through difficulties and obstacles and finally arrived in India. He studied there for more than two years and was praised as the keynote speaker in an important Buddhist debate.
In the 19th year of Xuan Di, he returned to Chang 'an and brought back 657 Buddhist scriptures. Later, Xuanzang narrated his journey to the West, and his disciples edited Datang 12. But this book mainly talks about the history, geography and transportation of the country seen on the road. No story. It was the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Then there are five periods: Hongzhi, Wu, Jiajing Sejong, Qin Long and Wanli.
The social situation in the middle and late Ming dynasty was very different from that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Political class contradictions, ethnic contradictions and contradictions within the ruling class are increasingly acute. The enlightenment of ideology and culture is on the rise, and the trend of human liberation is on the rise. Citizens' literature flourished, novels and operas entered their heyday, and economic capital sprouted.
The appearance of The Journey to the West opened a new category of novels and novels. The combination of well-meaning satire, bitter satire and serious criticism directly affects the development of satirical novels. Therefore, The Journey to the West is the pinnacle of ancient romance novels. In the history of world literature, it is also a masterpiece of romanticism and a pioneer of magical realism.
