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：西游记 英文简介
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：《西游记》读后感
《西游记》读后感
丰县首羡镇便集小学
学生：马雨欣
这个学期，我读了吴承恩写的小说《西游记》，它是我国四大名著之一。
孙悟空是《西游记》里的主人公，是个了不起的英雄。他有无穷的本领，天不怕，地不怕，具有很强的反抗精神。他虽然有大英雄的气度，但还是喜欢听恭维的话。他机智勇敢，而他最大的特点就是敢斗，敢和三界之主----玉皇大帝斗。
沙悟净心地善良，任劳任怨且忠心耿耿，但沙悟净有个缺点就是不敢反抗。
再说猪八戒，他可没有孙悟空那样的气度，又好吃，好女色，好占便宜，爱偷懒，经常是心里惦记着高老庄的老婆，还有时不停的让师傅念紧箍咒，伺机报复一下孙悟空。虽然他这样，但人们还是很喜欢他。沙悟净心地善良，任劳任怨且忠心耿耿，但沙悟净有个缺点就是不敢反抗。
最后是师傅唐僧，他既没有孙悟空的本领，也不像好吃懒做的猪八戒一样。虽然他只会念经但他心地善良，慈悲宽厚。唐僧曾经被人们说成软弱迂腐，但他并没有失去信心，一直坚持不懈。最后终于经历九九八十一难取得真经。
西行取经的惊险故事令我大开眼界，我还要再读一遍。

第五篇：《西游记》读后感
《西游记》读后感
我是一个女孩，所以我对《三国演义》、《水浒传》那些围绕着英雄好汉借刀弄抢的名著不感兴趣，然而我的性格天生又与林黛玉的性格相反，落红不是无本，是一种自然现象，在黛玉眼中却化成一丝忧伤，所以我也没选择读《红楼梦》。而《西游记》陪伴着我走完童年，是我儿时不可缺少的回忆，升入大学的我再次细读《西游记》，从中我不再是被那搞笑的桥段所吸引，而是更上层次的深入感受作者吴承恩所要表达的精神面貌。
整个取经的过程就好比一个团队经过重重困难最终打造出一个高质量的公司，从中我不得不承认吴承恩先生是一位具有团队意识的人才。为什么会这样说呢？因为吴承恩笔下的五位主人公分别代表着当下社会团队中所需要具备的五类人才。想要成功并非靠一人之力，一个好的团队也并非只有一种类型的人才。
唐僧之所以能取得真经也要感谢他的四个徒弟。孙悟空不用我介绍吧！他的火眼金睛，一个跟斗十万八千里，护着唐僧一路斩妖除魔，他就是一个有能力的典型代表，你说一个团队乃至一个社会能缺少有能力的人吗？
而二师兄猪八戒你可别看他长的丑，平常又懒又贪吃偶尔还迷恋美女，可人家听话啊，唐僧叫他往东她绝不往西，叫他站着他绝不敢坐着，一路上认认真真完成自己的任务。
说起沙和尚各位估计又想起了那熟悉的喊叫声了吧，“大师兄，师傅被妖怪抓走啦！”如果你不在意这句话，建意你回味一下《西游记》那个背着行礼躲在白龙马身后默默付出的沙僧吧。如果一个团队的人都争当出头鸟，那么这个团队该多么混乱不堪。
白龙马虽然是一匹马，但团队中也不能缺少白龙马一样谦虚的人，白龙马好歹也是龙王三太子，但人家愿意放下身断托着唐僧西行，最后得以成仙，您想如果没有像白龙马一样愿意从低层做起的人，那么还会有团队的组成吗？
而唐僧才是最大的领导者，他既不会仙术，又不懂如何对付妖怪，又是一位善良的人，但他却能管得住孙悟空，白龙马也一生愿让他骑，可想而知唐僧是那么厉害的一个人了吧！
所以通过此书让我觉得：想要让读者协会越办越好，必需具备这五类人才。在此我也祝咱们云南外事外语职业学院读者协会越办越好，让我们共同努力，使读者协会在杨林大学城发扬光大。
