Description

Xuanzang took a historical trip from China to India from 629 to 645, intending to obtain Buddhist scriptures written in the original Sanskrit language. Wu Cheng'en 吳承恩 (c. 1500-c.1582), a Ming novelist and poet, is generally acknowledged as the author of The Journey to the West, who added mythical and legendary figures, such as Monkey King (孫悟空), Xuanzang's first and most artful and powerful disciple.
