46.When talking abut Chinese literature, Jurney t the West is ften at the tp f pepleˈs lists. It is a classic nvel written in the 16th century by Wu Chengˈen (abut 1500—1582). It is ne f the mst well-knwn Chinese literary wrks in the West.
Jurney t the Westˈs ppularity has made it an inspiratin(灵感) fr many Western wrks—and nt just in the wrld f literature. Fred H, an American musician, wrte an pera called Jurney Beynd the West: The New Adventures f Mnkey. The pera, which includes kung fu perfrmances(表演) and ther Chinese elements(元素), brrws directly frm Jurney t the West.
Characters frm Jurney t the West have als appeared in many Western vide games, including Overwatch, Warframe and League f Legends. And in 2017, Netflix hsted a Suth Krean shw called A Krean Odyssey that is a cmedic retelling f the past Jurney stry.
But why has Jurney t the West lasted nt just fr ten years, but fr centuries?
James Trapp, a writer fr the British Cuncil, suggests that Sun Wukng, knwn t mst Western readers as the Mnkey King, is the reasn fr the nvelˈs lasting ppularity. “In many ways, the Mnkey King is the archetype(原型) f the flk her, r in mdern terms, the superher,” Trapp wrte. In these ways, the Mnkey King is similar t Western flk heres such as Huckleberry Finn. Hwever, he has been arund fr much lnger than many f these heres.
The stry itself is similar t that f the Western classic Odyssey, a Greek pem abut a herˈs jurney f self-discvery and victry. Its similarity t famus Western stries has made Jurney t the West ppular amng Western readers fr centuries.
