"西遊記" by Cheng'en Wu is a Chinese novel published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty. It follows the legendary journey of Buddhist monk Xuanzang as he travels to India to obtain sacred scriptures, accompanied by supernatural disciples including Sun Wukong, a magical monkey born from stone. This fantastical tale blends Buddhist and Taoist mythology with folk tales, creating an enduring adventure that is simultaneously comic entertainment, political satire, and spiritual allegory.
