Luo Guanzhong, the author of this book, tells the readers the story of Tang Priest's master and apprentice, who went through hardships and dangers, subduing demons and subduing demons, and gaining the true scriptures in 81 difficulties.
Journey to the West shows people a colorful world of ghosts and gods, and people are all amazed by the author's rich and bold artistic imagination. However, any literary work is a reflection of a certain social life. As an outstanding representative of ghost novels, The Journey to the West can see the projection of real society everywhere through the illusory ghost world in The Journey to the West.
The Monkey King is the first hero in the Journey to the West and a great hero. He has unlimited skills, fearlessness and indomitable spirit of resistance. He has the extraordinary bearing of a great hero, but he also has the disadvantage of listening to compliments. He is witty, brave and humorous. And his biggest feature is that he dares to fight. Dare to fight with the supreme jade emperor, and have the reputation of "Monkey King"; If you dare to hit a monster, you will never let go of a monster and show no mercy to the monster under the golden hoop; Dare to fight against all difficulties, never flinch or bow. This is the Monkey King, a dazzling mythical hero. The Monkey King's just, bold and unyielding fighting spirit and superb skills are the bane of monsters, and his fearless spirit of sweeping all monsters reflects the wishes and demands of the people. He represents the power of justice and shows the people's belief in overcoming all difficulties.
When it comes to Pig Bajie, his skill is far worse than that of the Monkey King, not to mention his brilliant and tall figure, but this image is also well portrayed. Pig Bajie is a cartoon character. He is honest, powerful and dare to play demons. He is the Monkey King's first right-hand man. But his mind is full of problems, delicious and delicious, taking advantage of small things, liking women and being afraid of difficulties. He often gives in, always thinking of Gao Laozhuang's daughter-in-law. He likes to lie sometimes, but he is all thumbs. From time to time, he provoked the Tang Priest to recite a spell, which made the Monkey King suffer. He even hid some private money in his ear. He has many problems, which is a bad habit of small private owners. The author's criticism of Zhu Bajie's shortcomings is severe, but it is also kind. He is not a denied figure, so people don't hate Pig, but think it is real and cute.
Tang Priest and his disciples, though lacking the Monkey King's skills, Pig's activity, Friar Sand's diligence and white strength, are good in character, can read the true scriptures, are not afraid of "cutting pieces" and have firm beliefs; Although Friar Sand and Bai have no great skills, they are both diligent and hard-working, willing to be good logistics and not good at showing off.
These four characters have their own characteristics and different personalities, which just form a sharp contrast, so I have to admire the author's superb writing skills. Perhaps the author's ability to portray characters is his subtlety. Among them, the Monkey King is my favorite. Because of his miraculous skills and superb skills, he succeeded in obtaining the true scriptures to protect Tang Priest, and he became a hero in my mind. Moreover, he has a rebellious mentality, and his brave spirit of fighting against powerful forces makes me appreciate it very much.
It is written in the book that Tang Priest's mentoring managers experienced eighty-one difficulties, which reminds me of their persistence, courage and perseverance. This is really a spirit worth learning. Think about yourself giving up halfway, anticlimactic, and can't help but feel ashamed that you didn't stick to it like them. Perhaps this is what I lack, as long as I can finish one thing from beginning to end, whether it is success or failure, as long as I try my best to do it, it is also successful for me! Because I did it, and I stuck to it until the end.
