The fourteenth chapter of the Journey to the West? Six thieves disappeared without a trace? Text: The old name of this mountain was Wuxing Mountain, but because I decided to establish a country in the west of the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Liangjieshan. In the first year, I heard the old man say that when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, this mountain descended from the sky. There was a monkey who was not afraid of cold and heat, and he didn't eat or drink ... The monkey said, I was the Monkey King who made a scene in the Heavenly Palace 500 years ago, and I was crushed here by the Buddha because I committed the crime of falling into the sky. Is there an explanation in the original text? When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty? That is to say, the day when the Monkey King was crushed by the Tathagata at the foot of Wuzhishan was the time when Wang Mang rebelled. Tathagata Buddha suppressed the Monkey King because the Monkey King made a scene in Heaven and messed up the heaven, and the Jade Emperor shouted? Invite Tathagata to the Western Heaven? . In other words, the Monkey King made a scene in the Heavenly Palace in the morning, and invited the Tathagata Buddha at noon or afternoon. Plus Tathagata and the Monkey King will not fight for more than a day. According to the Japanese saying, the Monkey King made a scene in the Heavenly Palace the year before Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, that is, the Western Han Dynasty.

Many people like to compare the time nodes in The Journey to the West with the real history, but they can't? Fit? In contrast, the biggest flaw is that it took 14 years for Tang Priest to learn Buddhist scriptures, and it was still his when he returned to the Eastern Jin and Tang Dynasties. Brother? Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, received him. Emperor Taizong Li Shimin reigned for 23 years. Assuming that Emperor Taizong died in the year when Tang Priest came back to learn from the scriptures, what year should Tang Priest go to learn from the scriptures? 23 - 14 = 9? , is the ninth year of Li Shimin's reign.

However, in The Journey to the West's original work, he wrote:

In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, on the third day of September in Jiaxu, Chen Xuanzang taught in Chang 'an, and Guanyin Bodhisattva came to sell cassocks. That is, when Li Shimin was in the reign of Emperor Taizong 13, Guanyin Bodhisattva came to ask Tang Priest to learn Buddhist scriptures from the West. There is no way to compare the time points of the two, so if we compare The Journey to the West's time node with the real history, we are just entertaining ourselves, and we must not be serious.
