Tang Sanzang's Journey to the West: The Legend of the Journey to the West

Author: (Ming) Yang Zhihe, compiled by Chen Xin
Publisher:
Publishing Date: 2006-12-01
Features: Zhu Dingchen's Journey to the West to Release Curses and Yang Zhihe's Journey to the West Chronicle, along with the classic Wu Cheng'en's Journey to the West, were all written during the Ming Dynasty. How do these three books relate to each other? Which one came first? Did Zhu's version and Yang's version edit and shorten Wu's version, or did Wu's version inherit and improve upon Zhu's and Yang's versions? Academia has yet to reach a consensus on this. This book is suitable for lovers of ancient fiction, and it is especially a reference material for researchers of the history of fiction, particularly for those studying Journey to the West.
