What is the synopsis of Journey to the West?

It is mainly about the story of the Tang Monk and his four disciples who went to the West to fetch scriptures from the Buddha after 981 difficulties and finally achieved the right result.

The story is divided into three main parts, the first part tells the story from the birth of the Monkey King to the great trouble in the Palace of Heaven, the second part tells the reason why to go to the Western Heaven to get the scriptures, the third part is the four masters and disciples on the way to fetch the scriptures encountered all kinds of difficulties and obstacles such as monsters and demons, and finally overcame these difficulties, to fetch the scriptures, and they have achieved the right result. However, a close reading of the book allows us to recognize the expansion of Buddhism in India, the indulgence of Buddhist and Taoist leaders in their subordinates, the aggression of emerging Buddhism against traditional Taoism in China, and the invasion of traditional Chinese culture by Western culture, which has plunged the Chinese into a crisis of faith without even realizing it, all in a bizarre and almost insinuating social reality. This is a good book with a profound moral that deserves to be studied in depth.
