I really enjoyed #AmericanBornChinese. I’m a fan of the #stories of the #JourneyToTheWest, and really enjoyed this, in spite of the fact that I approached the #miniseries with appreciation

I would love to see more!

And of course that book bookstore in Bucharest had a chapter from Journey to the West on their wall.

If you're a UKer of my generation, you grew up knowing this song by heart:

So many of us were hooked on Monkey and we ended up absorbing new myths, new stories.

Singing along to Monkey Magic, who knew we were getting hooked on a 16th-century novel about the retrieval of sutras from India??

Makes me quite nostalgic to be watching #AmericanBornChinese and see Monkey and Pigsy again.

Highlight of tonight's #MythOff: I get to tell one of my favorite parts of Journey to the West.

Downside: I have to summarize the previous 76 chapters of Journey to the West.

We really need to do an Epic Day.

@QuirkyFilms Duyu Dan's Pan si dong [盘丝洞 / The Cave of the Silken Web] (1927) is a story from the #JourneyToTheWest saga. Monk Tang Xuanzang is kidnapped by seven beautiful sisters, who turn out to be grotesque spider demons! #wuxia #film #China #SilentCinema #spiders

Speaking of the Monkey King, I bought an audiobook of Julia Lovell's translation of Journey to the West, which was a lot of fun to listen to while drawing and coloring my illustrations this past week or so. There's a lot of humor in it. #journeytothewest #monkeyking

The dharma is born through the mind;
It’ll be destroyed, too, through the mind.
By whom it is destroyed or born,
That you must determine yourself.

If it is through your own mind,
Why do others need to tell you?
All that you need is your hard work
To draw blood out of iron ore.

Let a silk cord puncture your nose
To tie a firm knot on the void;
Fasten that to the tree of non-action,
That you’d not be vicious and wild.

Regard not the thief as your son,
And forget all dharma and mind.
Let not the Other deceive me:
With one big punch strike him out first.

The manifest mind’s also no mind;
Manifest Law is no-law.
When both Bull and Man disappear,
The jade-green sky is bright and clear.

Any autumn moon’s just as round:
You can’t tell one from the other.

-attributed to Xuanzang in Monkey/Journey To The West
Yu translation

Another short and sweet piece of #Chinese #folklore.

Unlike the famous novel #JourneyToTheWest, which is an unabashed piece of #Buddhist propaganda that dumps on Daoists with monotonous regularity, the collection I get these stories from is a bit more even-handed. In it #Daoist priests are generally depicted as "magnificent assholes" and there's quite a bit of impious levity directed toward Buddhists. It doesn't reach the level of straight-up hostility of the novel, however.

My take on Sun Wukong from "Journey to the West" (2020).

journey to the west 😭

Ich bin traurig, auch zu kaufen ist die Serie hier immer noch nicht. Mit dieser Serie hat vor vielen Jahren mein Faible für chin. Serien (Meteor Garden und co) und später auch k-dramen (Guardian und co) begonnen.

auf YT ist die Serie Journey to the West ohne subs noch online aber nicht mehr mit. Ich meine die "jüngere" Serie mit den etwas besseren FX.
😭 🍵 🎵

wäre für sachdienliche Hinweise dankbar wenn die Serie doch zu kaufen oder zu streamen wäre
