Hello, I'm a lovely big mouth. Welcome to today's answer. Let's take a look at this question about The Journey to the West!

Let's take a look at these points.

Do all the versions of The Journey to the West have their own unique features?

To be sure, different versions must have different characteristics. As one of Four Great Classical Novels in China, The Journey to the West has been remake into dozens of movies and TV works. As a literary treasure in China, The Journey to the West has not only been sought after by Chinese people, but also attracted the attention of foreign friends. It was exported to Vietnam, Japan and other places as an excellent cultural work, and then took root overseas, and then a foreign version of The Journey to the West appeared, but personally, the foreign version lacked the original culture.

The Journey to the West Classic Edition:

Classic I: 86 Edition The Journey to the West

A classic among many The Journey to the West editions, the play was produced by China International Television Corporation, directed by Yang Jie, co-written by Dai Yinglu, Yang Jie and Zou Yiqing * * *, with six-year-old children (as the Monkey King) and Xu Shaohua (4-5, 7-8 and 11-). A 25-episode costume drama starring Tang Priest), Wang Yue (6, 9 and 1 episodes, Tang Priest), Ma Dehua (Pig Bajie) and Huaili Yan (Friar Sand) tells the story of the journey from the first appearance of the Monkey King to the bliss of Bo Sheng. Among them, the dramas The Great Sage and Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon are still popular today. Once broadcast in the Spring Festival of 1986, the drama caused a sensation in the whole country, which was suitable for all ages. It was highly praised and created a myth of 89.4% ratings. It is still the most replayed TV series in winter and summer vacations, with more than 3, replays, and it is still a classic that cannot be surpassed. Under the limited technical conditions, I'm afraid the success of this drama can't even be accurately described by the word miracle. The indomitable spirit of the four Tang Priests and Mentors in the drama is vividly displayed. At the same time, the exquisite performance of the six-year-old boy and his interpretation of the Monkey King have become a stereotype in the hearts of the audience at that time and even now.

Classic 2: The Sequel to the Journey to the West

Popularizes a little knowledge point. The 86th edition of The Journey to the West, which is often played in film and television dramas, includes the Sequel to the Journey to the West, which is based on The Journey to the West, Wu Cheng'en, produced by Wuxi Zhongshi Film and Television Base Co., Ltd., directed by Yang Jie, and directed by six-year-old children (the Monkey King), Xu Shaohua (Tang Priest) and Zhongrui Chi (Tang Priest). It tells the story of Tang Priest's master and apprentice turning back to Chang 'an, and Tang Priest told the Tang King about the difficulties and obstacles along the way. This drama supplements the missing part of The Journey to the West's eighty-one difficult, and the battle scenes are more gorgeous, and the characters are more vivid and full. The true and false Monkey King in the drama is well known to all women and children, and the appearance of the sequel has drawn a satisfactory full stop for the 86 version of The Journey to the West.

Classic 3: The Journey to the West

The Journey to the West is adapted from Wu Cheng'en's novel The Journey to the West. The plot can be said to have nothing to do with the original work. It mainly tells the story that after three hundred years of success in learning Buddhist scriptures, the world shook, the devil suddenly fell, the Buddha died and the Three Realms were in chaos. Lawless occupation of Lingshan, claiming to be? Wutian Buddha? And summoned the demons to declare that after 33 years, the Tathagata will rely on the reincarnation of the Buddha's body to support his life, and rely on seventeen Buddhist relics to seize the nature of heaven and earth, with boundless magic, and return to the Three Realms, and the Monkey King led the Three Realms to help the reincarnation of the Tathagata, Qiao Linger, return to Lingshan. The whole play subverts the idea of Journey to the West, from stubborn and willful naughty to the Monkey King, who is brave and selfless, from ugly and abnormal to handsome Pig Bajie, from Buddhist theory to Tang Sanzang, who appreciates the true meaning of martial arts, from timid and weak to Sha Wujing, who later shouldered a heavy burden and bravely charged. This play can be regarded as the most popular version in the adapted version. When I was a child, the play was broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV, and I waited in front of the TV every day.

Although there are different versions, there are traces of truth and falsehood, good and evil, beauty and ugliness in the play. The Journey to the West invisibly changed the cognition of Chinese children from generation to generation.
