Features: Zhu Dingchen's Tang Sanzang's Journey West to Free the Cursed Spirits and Yang Zhihe's Journey to the West, along with the classic Journey to the West by Wu Cheng'en, were all written during the Ming Dynasty. How do these three works relate to each other? Which one came first? Did the Zhu and Yang versions edit and shorten the Wu version, or did the Wu version inherit and perfect the Zhu and Yang 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 for those engaged in the study of the history of fiction, particularly Journey to the West.
