My impression on reading Journey to the West

Jouney to the West is a historic Chinese novel that is considered one of the 4 classics from the Ming Dynasty.These novels along with Outlaws of the Marsh, A Dream in Red Mansion as well as Three Kindoms have won popular acclaim from generation to generation.Jouney to the West is actually a combination of myth , parable and comedy.It is filled with imagination and have enjoyed a great and immense popularity among the people in China for over 400 years on account of its fresh and convoluted plots , distinctive and life-like characters, profound and incisive ideological content and life-hearted style.It is based on a story about a Buddhist monk and a bunch of animals with human characteristic(which are his 3 disciples ,the irrevent and capable Monkey, greedy Pig, and Friar Sand).The animals in the story are actually of a very fairy tale type of mood and they traveled west to India to find Buddhist scriptures.The animals themselves are celestial being in mortal forms and they have magical powers that protect them from the goblins and the evil spirits.Monkey was created out of a rock.He not only has the sharp wit and an unruly nature of a monkey but also extra ordinary powers that he uses to overcome demons and monsters.Monkey is also gifted with intelligence and agility both mentally and physically.So he puts his talents to use by mastering his skills of wizardry to the point of where he can transform himself 72 times in a blink of an eye.He has a magic wand that can shrink smaller than a pen or expand till it is like a club of bronze and a magic cloud that can take him up to the heavens or down to the bales of the earth.Full of life and filled with spirit as well as being sincere and optimistic in nature, he is not bothered by suffering and is always ready to face up to new challenges.Pig sets off his pig like clumsiness with the disposition that is the epitome of honesty and directness.He is always making a mess out of things and generating a lot of humor in the process.Pig fills a role that symbolizes the desire to comfort and pleasure.He too has magical powers but it is just not the same as monkey , who makes him seem naive and clumsy by comparison.Monkey just love to tease him , so pig does all his best to be a thorn in monkey’s side by telling lies about him to Tang Priest.Another character that appears quite less frequently is Friar Sand.He is quite resolute and his down-to-earth nature is readily apparent.In Jouney to the West, a total of 87 chapters are dedicated to the story of the Tang Priest ,Xuang Zang’s quest for the Buddhist scriptures.In the course of their journey , they brave a series of dangers and vanquish devils and monsters.The road to the Western Paradise is fraught with danger , whether in mountains and forests or in villages and towns.Before the monk can find the scriptures he must surmount 81 obstacles.Demons of all descriptions like the ferocious Red Boy, the scorpion sipirt of Pipa Cave and spiderwomen ,etc.try to bar their way ,even to the extent of killing and eating XuangZang.Some of these ghostly opponents appear openly hostile ,while others are cunningly disguised.Some wield power over kingdoms or feign to officials carrying out their lawful duties.Monkey plays a central role in every battle with the monsters ,not only contending with them face to face , but also helping his companions overcome the obstacles and restraints that originate within themselves.After overcoming all kinds of evil and devious enemies , with Monkey as the backbone of the company ,the travelers finally reach the Western Paradise and accomplish their sacred mission of taking back the scriptures.In this so-called “ stories of the 81 obstacles” which symbolize the difficulties and challenges that people meet in the course of pursuing their ideals , the staunch spirit and character of the 4 companions to battle all enemies and overcome all hurdles in order to attain their goal is manifested very clearly and as much it is a vivid portrayal of the spirit and character of the Chinese nation.With supernatural beings as its protagonists ,Journey to the West creates a world full of fantasy and illusion.But this fantasy world reflects various kinds of contradictions in the society of Wu Chen’en’s time.The characters of the demons are generalizations and sublimations of the characters of ordinary mortals.Fantasy and reality reach a high level of synthesis in Jouney to the West.Humor is a major characteristic of the style of Jouney to the West.Money is the supreme comic figure in this classical Chinese novel.His humor springs from his optimistic self-confidence and his sharp ability to perceive people’s true natures ,as well as his tolerance of others’ weaknesses and his hatred of evil.The humor in this novel is also manisfested in certain plots & subplots of the nature of comedies.Pig’s clumsy actions and speech are invariably hilarious ,but the laughter he elicits is tolerant but sad at the same time.This is because the weaknesses in Pig’s character are not unique or accidental ,they ’re common traits of the Chinese character.The author’s humor is built up on a base of profound knowledge of human society and a high degree of psychological penetration.Actually Journey to the west is purification of the mind in that the entire expedition to find Buddhist scriptures is actually a way of achieving spiritual goodness.So in this play three weaknesses arrogance, laziness, even ignorance, they are all weakness of human nature that requires spiritual correction.However honesty ,goodness ,and courage are all our friends in the depths of our soul.And this way the Journey to the west teach us that in human life it is possible to temper ourselves to achieve ideals and goodness.

第三篇：西游記 英文簡介

Journey to the west is a historic Chinese novel that is considered one of the four classics from the Ming Dynasty.These novels along with the golden lotus water margins as well as the romances of the three kingdoms have won popular acclaim from generation to generation.Journey to the west is a combination of myth parable and comedy.It is a story about a Buddhist monk and bunch of animals with human characteristic.The animals actually in the story are a very fairy tale type of mood and they traveled west to India to find Buddhist scriptures.The animals themselves are celestial being in mortal forms and they have magical powers that protect them from the goblins and the evil spirits.Author Wu Cheng-en writings create an imaginary world that creates a life like with the absurd giving us a glance of the different sides of human nature.Monkey was created out of a rock.He not only has the sharp wit and an unruly nature of a monkey but also extra ordinary powers that he uses to overcome demons and monsters.Pig sets off his pig like clumsiness with the disposition that is the epitome of honesty and directness.He is always making a mess out of things and generating a lot of humor in the process.Before the monk can find the scriptures he must surmounts 81 obstacles including overcoming such supernatural beings as cow demon the spider beast and a living skeleton.These obstacles symbolize the difficulties and challenges that people meet in the course of ideals.The character is the main reason that journey to the west keeps reader in thrall.The book gets more then and uproars comedy.It gives us readers an unforgivable insight into life itself.As for the historical record of journey to the west let's go back to the Tang dynasty.History actually recalls the Buddhist monk master Shan-chang or master Xuan Zhuang who crossed he mighty desert to reach the India continent during the Tang dynasty.19 years later he came back to china with over 600 Buddhist scriptures.So the factual basis of journey to the west was born.However master Xuan Zhuang actually was a little bit different from master san tong.Who was actually a fictional character created by the author? In a novel, Tang Shan-chang maybe a monk on a daring mission to find Buddha scriptures.But he is also a faint-hearted hypocrite who lacks transcendent insight and lives life in pectoral fear.He is kind and compassionate but his inability to distinguish between true and false hood make him all to susceptible to pig's effort to sew this court.The result is that he wrongly distresses monkey who can see through the bio schemes of evil spirits and demons.But of course when he has fallow blindly in the trap of some fin or other it is always monkey that fall back on for help.Actually the character of the monk happens to be quite similar to the mythical scholar although he is an idealist at heart he is as weak as a kitten and just sets there helplessly for rescue when he gets into a predicament.The author is perhaps making a sly jab at the incompetent rulers of his time.But if Tang Shan-chang is evaluated purely from his viewpoint of religion or spiritual attainment he appears as not a saintly monk but rather an ordinary man.So monkey is the real hero in journey to the west.Monkey is created from a rock on enchanted mountain and because of his courage and insight is later anointed by his peers as king.But one day in a flash of enlightenment, this glorious monkey king see that life is a very temporary thing and that the delights of his timely existence in the area mountain tree cannot go on forever.Amazingly he gives it all up to find a master who can guide him on to the path of spiritual motivation.Monkey is gifted with intelligence and agility both mentally and physically.So he puts his talents to use by mastering his skills of wizardry to the point of where he can transform himself 72 times in a blink of an eye.He has a magic wan that can shrink smaller the pen or expand till it is like a club of bronze and a magic cloud that can take him up to the heavens or down to the bales of the earth.The monkey still retains his mischievous and playful temperament of his fellow apes.His intelligence and child like naughtiness are reviled when he does things like deliberately sending pig to scan the near by mountain and then transforming himself into an insect to keep an eye on his indolent companion.Fearing nothing the monkey would play in the palace of the sea god in heaven or in Hades itself.He even makes a bet with Buddha.His is a rebellious character that will just not bow to established rules.Full of life and filled with spirit as well as being sincere and optimistic in nature, he is not bothered by suffering and is always ready to face up to new challenges.This kind of wiliness to forge ahead maybe the stuff those heroes are made out of.But it carries with it a weakness of arrogance impulsiveness and a desire to excel over others.Pig fills a role that symbolizes the desire to comfort and pleasure.He to has magical powers but it is just not the same as monkey.Who makes him seem naive and clumsy by comparison monkey just love to tease him so pig does his level best to be a thorn in monkeys side by telling lies about him to tong song jon.Pig is a lazy gluttonous that needs his material comforts when it comes to trouble he just can't hold his side up so is always first to call on for help.During their journey he nearly cast his companion in his own spiritual cultivation inside.When he falls for enticement of beautiful women and riches.But if finally turns out to be all work of Buddha salvia that has come to test him.Yet thanks to the author pig ludicrous behavior brings an ironic smile to the readers face rather then a frown of disapproval because while pig makes a laughing stock of him self-the reader is reminded of the covetous raspy nature that empathy the human condition.Another character that appears quite less frequently is friar san when he does take the stage.His quite resolute and down to nature are readily apparent.Actually In journey of the west is purification of the mind so that the entire expedition to find Buddha scriptures is actually a way of achieving spiritual goodness.So in this play three arrogant weakness laziness even ignorance they are all weakness of human nature that requires spiritual correction.However honesty goodness and courage are all our friends in the depths of our soul.And this way the journey to the west the various characters in battle with evil and they teach us that in human life it is possible and temper ourselves to achieve ideals and goodness.

第四篇：《西游記》讀后感

《西游記》讀后感

豐縣首羨鎮便集小學

學生：馬雨欣

這個學期，我讀了吳承恩寫的小說《西游記》，它是我國四大名著之一。

孫悟空是《西游記》里的主人公，是個了不起的英雄。他有無窮的本領，天不怕，地不怕，具有很強的反抗精神。他雖然有大英雄的氣度，但還是喜歡聽恭維的話。他機智勇敢，而他最大的特點就是敢斗，敢和三界之主----玉皇大帝斗。

沙悟凈心地善良，任勞任怨且忠心耿耿，但沙悟凈有個缺點就是不敢反抗。

再說豬八戒，他可沒有孫悟空那樣的氣度，又好吃，好女色，好占便宜，愛偷懶，經常是心里惦記著高老莊的老婆，還有時不停的讓師傅念緊箍咒，伺機報復一下孫悟空。雖然他這樣，但人們還是很喜歡他。沙悟凈心地善良，任勞任怨且忠心耿耿，但沙悟凈有個缺點就是不敢反抗。

最后是師傅唐僧，他既沒有孫悟空的本領，也不像好吃懶做的豬八戒一樣。雖然他只會念經但他心地善良，慈悲寬厚。唐僧曾經被人們說成軟弱迂腐，但他并沒有失去信心，一直堅持不懈。最后終于經歷九九八十一難取得真經。

西行取經的驚險故事令我大開眼界，我還要再讀一遍。

第五篇：《西游記》讀后感

《西游記》讀后感

我是一個女孩，所以我對《三國演義》、《水滸傳》那些圍繞著英雄好漢借刀弄搶的名著不感興趣，然而我的性格天生又與林黛玉的性格相反，落紅不是無本，是一種自然現象，在黛玉眼中卻化成一絲憂傷，所以我也沒選擇讀《紅樓夢》。而《西游記》陪伴著我走完童年，是我兒時不可缺少的回憶，升入大學的我再次細讀《西游記》，從中我不再是被那搞笑的橋段所吸引，而是更上層次的深入感受作者吳承恩所要表達的精神面貌。

整個取經的過程就好比一個團隊經過重重困難最終打造出一個高質量的公司，從中我不得不承認吳承恩先生是一位具有團隊意識的人才。為什么會這樣說呢？因為吳承恩筆下的五位主人公分別代表著當下社會團隊中所需要具備的五類人才。想要成功并非靠一人之力，一個好的團隊也并非只有一種類型的人才。

唐僧之所以能取得真經也要感謝他的四個徒弟。孫悟空不用我介紹吧！他的火眼金睛，一個跟斗十萬八千里，護著唐僧一路斬妖除魔，他就是一個有能力的典型代表，你說一個團隊乃至一個社會能缺少有能力的人嗎？

而二師兄豬八戒你可別看他長的丑，平常又懶又貪吃偶爾還迷戀美女，可人家聽話啊，唐僧叫他往東她絕不往西，叫他站著他絕不敢坐著，一路上認認真真完成自己的任務。

說起沙和尚各位估計又想起了那熟悉的喊叫聲了吧，“大師兄，師傅被妖怪抓走啦！”如果你不在意這句話，建意你回味一下《西游記》那個背著行禮躲在白龍馬身后默默付出的沙僧吧。如果一個團隊的人都爭當出頭鳥，那么這個團隊該多么混亂不堪。

白龍馬雖然是一匹馬，但團隊中也不能缺少白龍馬一樣謙虛的人，白龍馬好歹也是龍王三太子，但人家愿意放下身斷托著唐僧西行，最后得以成仙，您想如果沒有像白龍馬一樣愿意從低層做起的人，那么還會有團隊的組成嗎？

而唐僧才是最大的領導者，他既不會仙術，又不懂如何對付妖怪，又是一位善良的人，但他卻能管得住孫悟空，白龍馬也一生愿讓他騎，可想而知唐僧是那么厲害的一個人了吧！

所以通過此書讓我覺得：想要讓讀者協會越辦越好，必需具備這五類人才。在此我也祝咱們云南外事外語職業學院讀者協會越辦越好，讓我們共同努力，使讀者協會在楊林大學城發揚光大。
