《宋氏譯寫》西遊記：(1) Monkey King came into being
A Brief Introduction
There was a famous monk named Xuan Zhuang in the Chinese Tang Dynasty
(AD618-907). The then emperor sent him to India to take the Buddhist
ures.
Several hundred years later, in Ming Dynasty (AD 1368-1644), a Chinese
writer name Wu Cheng En wrote a novel 《The Journey to the West》according
to this real event. This novel has already become one of the four most
famous classics in China.
As a novel, this book told readers a brilliant myth. Except for the real
person, the monk Xuan Zhung, the writer made up three disciples for him: a
monkey, a pig and a monk. These three disciples possessed enormous
abilities. They helped their master Xuan Zhuang (Tang Monk) defeat many
demons during the long journey. At last, they successfully took the
Buddhist ures from India to China.
In this book, the monkey named Monkey King is the leading legendary
character. He could turn into 72 different people or things. He could fly
upto the heaven and go into the sea. Turning a somersault, he could fly
108,000 miles away. Monkey King has become a widely known hero to every
Chinese people, especially the Chinese children. Many dramas, films and
soap operas have been made according to Monkey King’s story. Every summer,
the Chinese central TV station chooses the soap opera 《The Journey to the
West》as a special children program. In a word, Monkey King is an
extremely famous hero about whom there is no one who doesn’t know in
China.
Due to the limited space, I can only concentrate on some famous
and brilliant plots such as fighting the white bone demon, fleeing the
female country, crossing the flame mountain and so on.

Chapter 1 Monkey King came into being
1．
Billions upon billions of years ago, the world was divided into four
continents, namely East Continent of Shengshen, West Continent of Niuhe,
South Continent of Shanbu and North Continent of Julu.
Now, we only say something about East Continent of Shengshen. Off this
continent in the vast ocean, there was an isolated island named Aolai
Country. Off this country in the vast sea, there was a mountain named Mt.
Flower-fruit. Flush and green, with singing birds and fragrant flowers,
there existed a rock at the top of the mountain. One day, the rock suddenly
burst apart and a stone egg came into being and then turned into a stone
monkey. Well-featured with a full set of the five sense organs: ears, eyes,
a mouth, a nose and a tongue, and the four limbs as well, the monkey had
two mystical eyes with golden light shooting directly into the heavenly
palace and therefore disturbed Heaven Emperor.
There were numerous monkeys in the mountain. As a good mixer by nature,
joining them and winning their respect, the stone monkey became their
leader before long with a brilliant name Monkey King.
One day, Monkey King suddenly felt anxious about the problem of birth, age,
illness and death. A monkey told him that Buddha, spirits and gods would
never die and suggested that he ask them for the secret of immortality.
Monkey King therefore set out overseas immediately to look for the secret
of an eternal life.
In Shanbu Continent, Monkey King met with the Buddha founder who gave him
not only a Buddhist name Sun Wukong but also the secret of living for ever
and many unique skills for self-defense such as somersaulting which can let
him go 108,000 miles away, changing himself into seventy-two different
things and turning hair into monkeys. And the last one is especially
amazing. He has 84,000 pieces of hair each of which can be turned into a
single little monkey.
2．
Monkey King returned to Mt. Flower-fruit with satisfactory results. Just
then, a demon came and challenged to battle. With the unique skills he’d
just learned, he defeated the enemy hands down. Although winning a sweeping
victory, he felt his weapons far from ideal and then hit upon an idea to
look for satisfactory weapons.
One day, Monkey King unexpectedly went into a watercourse and finally
entered the dragon palace at the bottom of the sea. Talking with Dragon
King for some time, he made clear what he’d come for. Learning his idea of
borrowing treasured weapons, Dragon King generously let him to make a free
choice. As a result, Monkey King got the sea calming needle, namely the
wishful golden cudgel, with the weight of 13,500 pounds. Although so large
a cudgel, it can be reduced wishfully to the size of an embroidery needle
and therefore can be put into his ears.
With the treasured weapon in his ear, Monkey King went back to Mt.
Flower-fruit. But Dragon King’s brothers were rather dissatisfied with
this matter and urged Dragon King to lodge a complaint against Monkey King
with Heaven Emperor. Afraid that Monkey King would make troubles everywhere
on the earth, the Heaven Emperor called the monkey up to the heaven and
promised to offer him with high posts and many other favors. The real
purpose of Heaven Emperor was to fool the monkey into staying in the
heaven. But the monkey was just given a post named Bimawen. Realizing to be
actually a negligible officer to look after horses, Monkey King was quite
dissatisfied and became so angry that he went back to Mt. Flower-fruit
again.
3．
Learning the monkey had left again, The Heaven Emperor sent the Heaven God
Li and his third son Nezha to go down to the earth to catch the monkey.
Seeing a large vertical banner standing atop Mt. Flower-fruit with the
words Qitiandasheng, namely, Saint with equal power with the Heaven
Emperor, they were very angry with the monkey because they considered that
Monkey King tried to match himself against Heaven Emperor. Always holding a
pagoda on his palm, heaven god Li was regarded as invincible. With six arms
and a pair of wind-fire wheels under his feet, Nezha was considered as
enormously capable. But neither of them could defeat Monkey King.
Losing the field, the father and the son went back to the heaven. Learning
what had happened, Dragon King burst into anger. Acting as a peace-maker,
the Taibai golden star god stepped up and suggested that Heaven Emperor
offer Monkey King with a hollow name of Qitiandasheng which didn’t give
him any real power. The purpose was only to keep the monkey within Heaven
Emperor’s close observation lest he make troubles. Heaven Emperor agreed
and sent Taibai golden star god to go down on the earth asking the monkey
to come back to the heaven.
4．
Back to the heaven, Monkey King was allowed by Heaven Emperor to call
himself Qitiandasheng. But the condition was that he didn’t act wantonly.
But loose in conduct by nature, Monkey made mistakes time and again. The
most serious one was that one day, as drunk as a lord, he should dare to
take food and drink on the sly such as the heavenly wine, peaches and even
elixirs which were prepared only for gods. Waking up and realizing he’d
started troubles, Monkey King turned a somersault and went back to Mt.
Flower-fruit again.
The Heaven Emperor sent the heavenly generals and troops onto the earth to
catch the monkey. And this time, with the support of the father of Buddha,
Rulai Buddha, Monkey King ted with a bent head and was taken to the
heaven. Being seriously punished, he was put into the elixir-tempering
furnace of Taishanglaojun god. Yet, odd enough, tempered forty-nine days,
Monkey King wasn’t reduced to ashes but gained a pair of magical eyes
instead, which could distinguish truth from falsehood. Monkey King
therefore enjoyed another unique skill. Willy-nilly, Heaven Emperor could
do nothing but ask the resourceful Rulai Buddha for help.
5．
Rulai Buddha asked Monkey King why he dared to violate the heavenly laws
repeatedly. Monkey King said that whoever possessed enormous ability should
be Heaven Emperor. He boasted himself that he should replace Heaven Emperor
because he was extremely resourceful. Rulai Buddha told Monkey King that
Heaven Emperor had been cultivating his moral qualities ever since his
childhood and had undergone 1,750 disasters each of which lasted 129,600
years. Only after all these, did he become The Heaven Emperor.
To be asked what sort of abilities he possessed, Monkey King enumerated his
unique skills. Hearing this, Rulai Buddha made a bet with Monkey King on
their respective abilities. Rulai Buddha said that if Monkey King could
escaped his palm, he would certainly let him replace the present the Heaven
Emperor, or he should go back onto the earth to temper himself.
Monkey King stealthily laughed: Rulai Buddha’s palm was no larger than a
square foot. How he could be unable to escape such a small palm now that he
could go 108,000 miles away just by turning a somersault? Isn’t that
simply a joke with him?
“Are you in a position to decide?” Monkey King asked.
“Of course!” said Rulai Buddha.
Rulai stretched out his right hand with his palm large as a lotus leaf.
Putting his golden cudgel into his ear and bracing up his spirit, Monkey
King swiftly jumped into the center of Rulai’s palm.
Standing there, he said, “I’m going out!”
Monkey King turned a somersault and vanished immediately. With his
penetrating insight, the father of Buddha watched the monkey advancing
without stopping like wind. While moving forward, Monkey King found five
cloud-capped pillars with the color of flesh.
“It’s certainly the end of the earth.” Monkey King said to himself. “
When I go back, Rulai can testify on my behalf. And if so, the post of the
Heaven Emperor must belong to me.” But he thought, “Just wait a while. I’
d better make a mark on the pillars so as to show Rulai evidence.”
Taking off a piece of hair from his body and blowing it, Monkey King said,
“Change!”
The hair turned into a writing brush instantly. He wrote on the middle
pillar, “Qitiandasheng visits here.” After writing, he pissed the bottom
of the first pillar and then turned a somersault and went back to the
original place.
Standing in the center of Rulai’s palm, Monkey King said, “I’ve come
back! Ask Heaven Emperor to give me the heaven palace.”
“You pissing monkey!” cursed Rulai. “You’ve never been away from my
palm!”
“You just don’t know,” said the monkey. “I went to the end of the
earth and found five cloud-capped and flesh-colored pillars. I made a mark
there. Dare to come with me to have a look?”
“No need to go,” said the father of Buddha. “Just bend your head and
have a look.”
Scrutinizing with his magical eyes, Monkey King found the middle finger of
Rulai’s right hand bearing the words: Qitiandasheng visits here. And
moreover, there is still an awful smell of monkey piss at the crotch of his
thumb.
6．
Greatly surprised, Monkey King said to himself, “There should have this
sort of things! Evidently I wrote the words onto the cloud-capped pillar.
But why were these words written onto his finger? Could it be that he is
playing tricks with me with a witch-craft? Absolutely I don’t believe it! I
’m willing to go there again.”
Leaping upward, Monkey King was going to turn a somersault. But just at
the moment, Rulai Buddha turned over his palm and gave a swat to Monkey
King who was forcibly pushed out of the south heavenly gate. The father of
Buddha turned his five fingers into five mountains respectively named
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth, all of which were combined into a big
mountain named Mt. Wuxing with the meanings of “five elements”. And then,
Monkey King was weighed down by Mt. Wuxing.
Learning the good news, Heaven Emperor gave a banquet in honor of all the
gods to celebrate the tremendous victory.
After the banquet, all gods left the heavenly palace. On his way back,
Rulai Buddh met with a patrol goblin.
“Monkey King stretched out his head!” reported the patrol goblin.
“Never mind,” said the father of Buddha.
Taking out a note bearing some mystery codes, he asked the goblin to paste
it on the mountain. Showing his kindness, Rulai Buddha invited the earth
god to take care of Monkey King.
“When the monkey became hungry, you can give him some iron balls to eat.
When he became thirsty, you can give him some molten copper to drink.” The
father of Buddha said to the earth god. “Whenever his disaster ends up,
there will surely be someone to rescue him.”
