The Monkey King, also known as the Monkey King and Wukong, was honored as the Monkey King by all demons in Huaguoshan, and was named "Monkey King" by the Jade Emperor.

Born in Lingshi, Huaguoshan, Oleguo, Shenzhou, Dongsheng, he traveled across the ocean alone in search of immortality. After 1989, he learned to talk and walk, wading through mountains and rivers, worshiping Bodhi's ancestor in Sanxing Cave, Fangcun Mountain, Niulingtai, and learned the skills of the earth demon's seventy-two changes and the somersault cloud.

The Monkey King, whose magical power first appeared, caused chaos in the underworld and the Heavenly Palace, and was later embraced by the heaven and named Bi Marvin. Because of his low status, he returned to Guo Huashan, claiming to be the Great Sage of Qitian, and forcing heaven to recognize his title.

Because of drunkenness, she disturbed the flat peach party of the Empress Dowager, ate the flat peach and elixir of the Taishang Laojun, surrounded by 100,000 heavenly soldiers, and then was trapped by Erlang God and knocked down by the Taishang Laojun with a diamond chisel. By mistake, it was tempered in the blast furnace of Taishang Laojun, and King Kong's body was dazzling.

Later, he made a scene in Heaven and was tied up by Wang Lingguan. Later, he was defeated in the struggle with the Tathagata, and was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years to repent and turn over a new leaf.

Five hundred years later, the Tang Priest went to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures, passed by Wuxing Mountain, and broke the spell before he saved the Monkey King. The Monkey King was so grateful that he was enlightened by Guanyin, worshipped Tang Priest as a teacher and went to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures.

On the way to learn from the scriptures, the Monkey King exorcised demons and made many remarkable achievements. However, he was twice misunderstood and expelled by Tang Priest and his disciples. Finally, the four of them arrived at the Buddhist Leiyin Temple and got the true scriptures. It was finally named "Fighting Buddha". In China folk culture, he became the embodiment of wisdom and courage, and the people of China regarded him as a god.

The Monkey King insists on justice, hates evil, goes forward bravely, is resourceful, flexible, persistent and slightly stubborn. He likes being an official best, and is the embodiment of the soul, with both wisdom and courage. The golden hoop was originally the anchor of Dayu's water control.
