1. The Tang Priest's name is Chen Xuanzang. He was the reincarnation of Jin Chan, the second disciple of the western Tathagata, and was later sent to earth by the Tathagata. The master was a monk.
2. The Tang Priest in The Journey to the West was Xuanzang in the Tang Dynasty: In reality, Xuanzang's father Chen Hui was a good Buddha all his life, and his second brother Chen Su was sent to Jingtu Temple in Luoyang by his father as a monk. Chen Yi, who is intelligent by nature, has been exposed to Buddhist scriptures since he was a child and has a strong interest in Buddhism. At the age of eleven, he went to Jingtu Temple to become a monk and was named Xuanzang. Not satisfied with the Buddhist knowledge he learned in Luoyang, he went to Chang 'an, the capital, to visit famous teachers and ask questions about scriptures. In the TV series, Chen Guangrui, the father of Tang Priest, was admitted as a scholar in the era of Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin, was recommended as Jiangzhou magistrate by Wei Zhi, one of the greatest politicians in the history of the motherland, and married Yin Wenjiao, the daughter of the prime minister. Everything is perfect, a typical combination of talented people and beautiful women, but on the way from Chen Guangrui to Jiangzhou, two leaders, Liu Hong and Li Biao, made a fortune.
