Li Jing, the king of Tota, was ordered to lead the heavenly soldiers and generals to capture Sun Wukong, but was defeated by Wukong and withdrew to the heavenly court. At the suggestion of Tai Bai Xing, the Jade Emperor recruited Sun Wukong for the second time, named him the nominal Monkey King, and asked him to manage Pan Taoyuan.

Heavenly Court encircled Huaguo Mountain for the second time, and Sun Wukong was hit on the head by the diamond bracelet and was captured by the six saints led by Erlang God. Betting on the heavenly court, all kinds of criminal laws on the demon slashing platform could not hurt Sun Wukong in the slightest, so Taishang Laojun took Sun Wukong back to Tushi Palace and put it into the gossip furnace for alchemy. Later, the Buddha suppressed Sun Wukong with Wuzhi Mountain and informed him that someone would come and release him in hundreds of years. After 500 years, Tang Seng was ordered to save Sun Wukong from Wuzhi Mountain, so Sun Wukong followed Tang Seng to the West to learn scriptures under the ignition of Guanyin, and killed demons all the way.

Journey to the West is based on the folk story of Tang monks learning scriptures and related scripts and miscellaneous dramas (written by Yang Ne in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty).

The first seven chapters of Journey to the West narrate the birth of Sun Wukong, and there are stories such as havoc in the Heavenly Palace. After that, he wrote the story of Sun Wukong following Tang Seng Xitian to learn scriptures, eliminating demons and overcoming difficulties along the way.

In the book, the images of Tang Seng, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng are vividly portrayed, with a grand scale and a complete structure.

Wu Chengen (c. 1504-c. 1582), the name Ruzhong, was a native of Yangshan, Jiangsu.

Wu Chengen was about 40 years old to make up for a year of tribute, went to Beijing to wait for the assignment of official positions, was not selected, because of the poverty of his mother's hometown, he went to Changxing County, and finally because he was falsely accused, two years later

"Returning with his sleeves", in his later years, he made a living by selling literature, and lived nearly 80 Dream of Red Mansions a total of 120 times, the first 80 times were made by Cao Xueqin, and the last 40 times are generally believed to be made by Gao E.

In the process of writing and revising the eighty chapters of Cao Zuo, they were circulated in the form of manuscripts. In the 50th year of Qianlong (1791), Cheng Weiyuan typeset the first 80 and the last 40 sequels in movable type, and since then 120 editions have been popular.

However, the text of the first 80 chapters has been changed. Introduction: Dream of Red Mansions was written in the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty in the middle of the eighteenth century, with the four families of Jia, Wang, Shi and Xue as the background, with the love tragedy of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu as the main line, describing the decline of the four families of the feudal bureaucrats Jia, Wang, Shi and Xue, especially the Jia family, exposing the sins of the feudal rulers and explaining the historical fate of the inevitable decline of the feudal dynasty.

The language of the work is beautiful and vivid, and he is good at portraying characters, creating characters with distinctive personalities such as Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Wang Xifeng, Xue Baochai, and You Sanjie.

The book is large-scale, well-structured, and of high artistic achievement. Cao Xueqin, a Chinese Qing dynasty family, the word Mengruan, the name Xueqin, also known as Qinpu and Qinxi, was born in 1715 and died in 1763.

His ancestors were originally Han nationality, and then they were Manchurian Zheng Cao Xueqin White Flag Cloth (house slave). Cao Xueqin's great-grandfather Cao Xi, grandfather Cao Yin, and his father's Cao Hao and Cao Fu successively served as Jiangning weavers for more than 60 years, and were favored by Emperor Kangxi.

Cao Xueqin grew up in wealth and glory. In the early years of Yongzheng, due to the involvement of the internal struggle of the feudal ruling class, the Cao family suffered many blows, Cao Fu was dismissed and imprisoned, his family property was confiscated, and the family moved back to Beijing, and the family road has been declining day by day.

This turning point made Cao Xueqin deeply feel the heat and coldness of the world and a clearer understanding of the essence of the feudal social system.

Since then, he has lived in poverty, he can write poetry and painting, is good at writing, with perseverance and perseverance to devote himself to the writing and revision of "Dream of Red Mansions", read it for 10 years, added and deleted 5 times, and wrote this literary masterpiece that pushed Chinese classical creation to the peak.

"Dream of Red Mansions" has become a great realist work in classical Chinese with its rich content, twists and turns in the plot, profound ideological understanding, and exquisite artistic techniques.

In the twenty-seventh year of Qianlong (1762), the young son died, Cao Xueqin fell into excessive grief and grief, and on the Chinese New Year's Eve of this year (February 1, 1764), he died of poverty and illness without medical treatment (about the year of Cao Xueqin's death, there are two other versions of Qianlong 28 and 29 years), and the funeral expenses were funded by friends.

Deng Xiaoda once praised this book and said: "Dream of the Red Chamber is a book that gathers the essence of all Chinese cultures, he is not only the pride of Chinese, but also the pride of the world, he is the pride of the whole universe, even if there are aliens, I believe it is difficult for them to write so well!" So wonderful! Such a wonderful book!
