Journey to the West

A

Mention of "Journey to the West" everyone can certainly remember some of the fragments of it by heart, and so do I. Once again, I took out the book that has been slightly yellowed on the bookshelf, "Journey to the West", and I loved it, Dao a cup of fragrant tea, did not turn a few pages, along with Grandpa Wu Chengen's wonderful portrayal of the plot of the book.

Reading the "Journey to the West" I was y touched, the text of the twists and turns of the plot and the bizarre experience of the Tang Monk and his disciples left a deep impression on me.

The author of the book, Luo Guanzhong, tells readers the story of the Tang Monk and his three other disciples who went through all the difficulties and dangers along the way, subduing the demons and subduing the devils to obtain the scriptures through the difficulties of the ninety-nine hundred and eighty-one years.

The Journey to the West shows people a colorful world of gods and demons, and people are amazed at the author's rich and bold artistic imagination. However, any literary work is a reflection of a certain social life, and Journey to the West, as an outstanding representative of the novels of gods and devils, can be seen everywhere through the imaginary world of gods and devils in Journey to the West as a projection of the real society.

The Monkey King is the first main character in Journey to the West, and he is a very remarkable hero. He has infinite skills, is not afraid of the sky or the earth, and has an unyielding spirit of resistance. He has the extraordinary temperament of a great hero, but also has the shortcomings of loving to listen to compliments. He is witty and courageous, but also witty and hilarious. And his greatest characteristic is that he dares to fight. Dare to fight with the supreme Jade Emperor, the flute is called the "Great Sage of Qi Tian" reputation; with the demons and monsters dare to fight, fiery eyes will never let go of a demon, such as under the Golden Hoop Stick will never be merciful to the demons; with all the difficulties dare to fight, never retreat and bow down. This is the Monkey King, a glorious mythological hero. Sun Wukong's spirit of justice, boldness and indomitable struggle, his skillfulness is the nemesis of demons, and his fearlessness in sweeping away all the demons and devils reflects the people's aspirations and demands. He represents a force for justice and shows the people's conviction of victory over all difficulties.

Speaking of Piggy, his skills than the Monkey King can be far worse, not to mention what glorious and lofty, but this image is also portrayed very well. Piggy is a comedy image, he is simple and honest, have strength, also dare to fight with the demons, is the first right-hand man of the Monkey King. But he is full of faults, such as delicious, good to take advantage of small gains, good women, afraid of difficulties, often have to beat the drum, the heart of the old thinking about the daughter-in-law of Gao Laozhuang; he sometimes love to tell a lie, can be clumsy and said not round; he also occasionally provoke the Tang Monk to read the tightly-banded incantation, so that the Sun Wukong ate some pain; he even hid a little private money, stuffed in the ear. His faults are really many, which are exactly the vices of small privateers. The author's criticism of Piggy's shortcomings is harsh, yet well-intentioned. He is not a negated character, so people do not dislike Piggyback, on the contrary, they feel very real and lovely.

The master of the Tang Monk, although there is no Monkey King's skills, Piggy's active, Sha monk's diligence, white dragon horse's feet, but his integrity, will read the scriptures, not afraid of "death by a thousand cuts," there is a firm conviction; Sha monk and the white dragon horse, although there is no great ability, but they are diligent, hard-working, willing to be a good logistical, not a good show. Not good to show off.

The four characters have their own characteristics, different personalities, just formed a sharp contrast, which makes me have to admire the author's writing skills, perhaps the author is good at portraying the character is his subtle place. One of my favorites is the Monkey King, because he is powerful, skillful, all the way to protect the Tang Monk succeeded in obtaining the scriptures, he has become a hero in my mind. I also appreciate his rebellious spirit and his courage to fight against powerful forces.

The book writes that the Tang Monk and his disciples managed eighty-one trials and tribulations, which reminds me of their persistence, fearlessness and perseverance. This is really a spirit worth learning. Then think of their own halfway, tiger, I can not help but feel ashamed of themselves at first why can not be like them to the end? Maybe this is what I lack, as long as I can do something from the beginning to the end, whether I succeed or fail, as long as I try to do it, it is also a success for me! Because I went for it and stuck with it until the end.

Two After Reading Journey to the West

Whenever I open Journey to the West, I always have different moods. It is the most vivid and lively among the four masterpieces, and when I was a child, I always felt both addicted and amused when I read it. But today, unchanged is the light, colorful mythological world, my comprehension has changed.

This is a classic masterpiece that everyone loves to read, and everyone can get a different feeling and revelation when reading it. Some people like its distinctive character personality; some people like its magnificent overall image; some people like its lively and witty dialogues; and some people also study its historical background and social phenomena. But in my opinion, his twisted plot hidden in people's aspirations and unattainable ideal of life and the pursuit of human nature, that is - freedom.

After experiencing days and days of personalized constraints, people in the 21st century yearn for freedom, for the embodiment of freedom: the Monkey King. The Monkey King came out of the ground, "not the unicorn jurisdiction, do not serve the phoenix tube, and do not serve the earth throne constraints", break into the Dragon Palace, haunted the netherworld, since the flower and fruit mountain on the eye in the king. It can be said that the human nature has already reached the state of getting rid of all the constraints and complete freedom. Sun Wukong is in fact the embodiment of freedom, the most prominent of his qualities is the yearning for freedom, he is always in pursuit of freedom, and all its struggles are for freedom. Such a vivid image gives readers the power and courage to pursue freedom and chase after it. However, everyone understands that in the present, even in the future, complete freedom is impossible, and people are always subject to such and such constraints. Despite the fact that we are surrounded by a world of constraints, we can try to make our hearts as broad and deep as possible, so that it can be boundless and embrace the world.

However, there are still many people in our society who are bound by things of little value, yet are happy with themselves and still feel content. After centuries of exploration and development, people's material needs are no longer urgent, but their need for spiritual freedom has been obliterated for no apparent reason. In short, I believe that what is most lacking in modern people is a spirit of openness and aggressiveness in search of the greatest freedom.

The Journey to the West, which has been refined over time, contains the spirit of freedom that people in the new century crave most. ...... I understand why it has been passed down to this day.

Three Readings of Journey to the West

After I finished reading Journey to the West, I learned that it consists of four main characters: the Monkey King, Porky Pig, Sha He Shang and the Tang Monk. In addition to these main characters, there are also: immortals, Buddhist masters and big and small monsters and so on.

This book is mainly about the Monkey King, Porky Pig, Sha and Shang and the Tang Monk master and disciples from the East Kingdom of China to go to the West Kingdom of China to worship Buddha to get the scriptures, they go all the way to cut down the demons and go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, and finally get the real scriptures back to the East Kingdom of China.

In the four main characters, my favorite is the Monkey King, the first: he is clearly distinguishable from the human and the demon, say in the "three white bone spirit" only the Monkey King to see the village girl, the old lady, the old man is the incarnation of the white bone spirit, Piggy is still in the front of the Tang Priest to play the Monkey King's report, the Tang Priest is still complaining about the Monkey King. Second: The Sun Wukong is loyal to the Tang Monk. Because the Monkey King three times killed the white bone spirit incarnation, the Tang Monk that the Monkey King three times killed a good man, so the Monkey King back to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits, then the Tang Monk was captured by the White Bone Spirit, pig outnumbered and outnumbered had to go to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits to ask the big brother to come back to rescue the master, the Wukong heard the Tang Monk White Bone Spirit captured, regardless of the previous suspicion and pig out to rescue the master. It can be seen that the Monkey King is loyal to the Tang Monk. When it comes to difficulties, Piggy always says, "Let's break up! You go back to Huaguo Mountain to be the monkey king, you go back to Liusha River, I will be a son-in-law in Gaojiazhuang. The Monkey King insisted on overcoming the difficulties; he refused to break up the gang. Third: I like the Monkey King wit and courage to defeat the demons and monsters, overcoming one difficulty after another, finally and Piggy, Sha and Shang to protect the Tang Monk to the West to obtain the true scriptures.

Four Journey to the West

The Journey to the West is a blossoming wonder in the garden of ancient literature in China. Since its inception, not tibia, popular literature, story circulation, widely and folk, can be said to be a household name, women and children know, elegant and popular **** appreciation. How a "dream" word to solve such a magnificent work? Not bad, "Journey to the West" its artistic achievements, characterization, ideological content is multi-faceted, multi-angle. And here, I only start from Freud's "dream" theory, with the psychoanalytic method to analyze "Journey to the West".

In order to link the creation of Journey to the West with dreams, let us first look at Freud's psychoanalysis.

In the early days of Freud's psychoanalysis, due to his unique literary skills, he chose "talk therapy", which is closely related to "language", to save his mental patients. In his view, the closed and repressed inner obstacles of the psychiatric patients could be cathartic or purified through verbal conversation. It can be seen that psychoanalytic doctrine in the early stages of the relationship with literary theory.

From emphasizing and examining the patient's linguistic reaction to analyzing the normal people's speech errors, clerical errors, and misreading errors in their daily lives, the psychoanalytic theory has been linked to the phenomenon of literary creation of the writers in a step forward. This connection was actually revealed in the book The Interpretation of Dreams (1900), which marked the birth of psychoanalytic doctrine.

Freud's extension of the psychoanalytic method to literary creation was based on the premise of linking the writer with the mentally ill, and the bridge of this linkage was the "dream". According to Freud, the writer's writing is also dreaming, only in a non-sleeping state, and thus his work is also a distorted manifestation of his unconscious instincts, a substitute for the fulfillment of his desires. We tend to say that the dreams we have are chaotic, absurd, and completely deformed.
