Journey to the West/大语文-新阅读经典书系-西游记 [Chinese]

By (明)吴承恩

Journey to the West is one of China's greatest works of fiction - a romantic, fantastical novel composed in the traditional chapter-by-chapter style. Drawing inspiration from the historic pilgrimage of the Buddhist monk Xuanzang, the author weaves a richly imaginative tale that serves as both an epic adventure and a sharp satire of the society in which he lived. The story follows the rebellious and extraordinary Monkey King, Sun Wukong, from his birth and defiance of the heavens to his fateful meeting with the devout monk Tang Sanzang, the gluttonous Pigsy, the loyal Sandy, and the steadfast White Dragon Horse. Together, they brave a perilous journey westward, facing countless demons and monstrous foes. After enduring eighty-one harrowing ordeals, they at last reach the Western Paradise, stand before the Buddha, and achieve their ultimate destiny - with each of the five protagonists attaining spiritual perfection. 《西游记》是中国古代部浪漫主义章回体长篇神魔小说。以"唐僧取经"这一历史事件为蓝本，通过作者的艺术加工，深刻地描绘了当时的社会现实。全书主要描写了孙悟空出世及大闹天宫后，遇见了唐僧、猪八戒、沙僧和白龙马，与他们一同西行取经，一路降妖伏魔，经历了九九八十一难，终于到达西天见到如来佛祖，最终五圣成真的故事。
