Explored Chinese Culture from a non‑native learner’s view, focusing on daily life, city impressions, and cultural do’s and don’ts. Understanding culture makes language more meaningful and cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu all feel very different yet welcoming. Excited to keep studying both the language and the culture and hope to visit in the future.

hi Ms. Mao, I read the segments of the project marked "recorded". I am afraid the pronunciation is pretty bad but I will continue to practice it. My wife and I are leaving for a trip to China on 5/26 to visit her relatives in Shanghai. I have valued this class as it has "forced" me to learn new vocabulary, practice the Chinese characters for these new words, and to practice creating sentences. Most of all, the links you provided over the course of the semester has shown me lots of videos from which I can learn more Chinese words and grammar.....Regards, Alan Fong

Who is Sun Wukong? – part 1 (not recorded)

Sun Wukong (孫悟空), or the Monkey King, is one of the most famous characters in

Chinese mythology and literature.  He was created by the Ming dynasty author,

Wu Cheng’en, in his novel, “Journey to the West”.  Sun Wukong was born a stone

monkey from a magical stone on Flower and Fruit Mountain.  He becomes the

Monkey King while living on the mountain.  Seeking immortality after the death

of an older monkey and friend, the Monkey King is taken as a student of a magical

Taoist martial artist, Puti Zushi.  Puti Zushi teaches the Monkey King advanced

Taoist practices, including the Way of Immortality, and also renames him “Sun

Wukong”.  Wukong searches for a weapon worthy of his power and skills

among the treasures of the Dragon King.  Wukong finds the gold-banded staff,

Ruyi Jingu Bang (如意金箍棒).

Who is Sun Wukong? – part 2 (not recorded)

Considered brash, rude, and impudent, heaven’s forces first try to peacefully

resolve their differences with Wukong.  Failing to reconcile, heaven’s forces

and Wukong battle with Wukong winning each time.  Finally, heaven appeals to

the Buddha who imprisons Wukong for 500 years to learn patience and humility.

500 years later, as Bohdisattva Guanyin searches for disciples to aid

Tang Sanzang on his pilgrimage to India, Wukong offers to be a disciple, in

exchange for his freedom at the completion of the journey.  Guanyin accepts

and, to help Tang Sanzang control Wukong, gives him a gift from Buddha.  It is a

magical headband that Wukong is tricked into wearing.  It can never be taken

off and causes unbearable headaches when Tang Sanzang chants a certain

sutra, Jin Gu Zhou (紧箍咒).  Over the course of the pilgrimage, Sun Wukong

grows spiritually and comes to learn and value patience, humility, and

Buddhist teachings.

The Monkey King story over the years – part 1 (recorded)

Wu Cheng’en is generally recognized as the author of “Journey to the West”.  However,

that claim is complicated by the fact that much of the novel’s material originated from

folk tales that had circulated through oral storytelling for centuries.  Despite the years

of scholarly work to clarify conflicting claims of authorship, Wu is still accepted as the

writer of the 1592 printed version of the novel.

There have been several English-translations of the novel, an abridged version written in

1942 by Arthur Waley, another in 2006 by Anthony Yu, and another in 2021 by Julia Lovell.

Unabridged translations include two four-volume versions written between 1977 and

1983 by Anthony Yu and another by William Jenner.

The Monkey King story over the years – part 2 (recorded)

There have been many media adaptations over the years, ranging from paintings

(Japanese prints in 1865) to stage plays and operas (performed in Europe, the U.S.

and Asia) and both serious and comical films (majority are Chinese-made featuring

well-known stars).  There have been many television adaptions dating back to 1978

and originating from China, Japan, and Korea and produced by Western studios such

as Amazon and Netflix.  There are even comics and animation retelling and imagining

new adventures of the “Journey to the West”.

Who is Zhu Bajie? (not recorded)

Zhu Bajie (猪八戒) translates to “Pig Eight Restraints”, a name given him by Tang Sanzang

as a reminder of his Buddhist teachings and to resist temptations of the flesh.  Zhu Bajie was

previously Marshall Tianpeng, a deity in Chinese mythology and Taoism.  Marshall Tianpeng

was a high-ranking celestial general that was exiled from heaven for flirting.  He was sent

to be reincarnated on Earth but mistakenly fell into a pig well and was reborn as a

humanoid monster, part-pig and part-human, called Zhu Ganglie (猪刚鬛) or

“strong-maned pig”.  Zhu Ganglie is known for his insatiable appetite, laziness, and his

attraction to women.  But on the bright side, he is respectful, soft-hearted, and optimistic.

Zhu Ganglie has great physical strength and uses a golden nine-toothed rake as a weapon.

Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong encounter Zhu Ganglie early in their journey.  After a fight

with Wukong, they realize that Zhu Ganglie has been recruited by Bohdisattva

Guanyin to join their pilgrimage and to atone for his past sins.

Who is Sha Wujing? (not recorded)

Sha Wujing (沙悟淨) or Sha Heshang (沙和尚) means “Sand Monk” or “Sand Priest”.  Like

Zhu Bajie, was originally a general in heaven.  While as a Curtain-Lifting general, he was

punished and banished to Earth after accidentally breaking a valuable crystal goblet during

a Heavenly Peach Festival.  He was reincarnated as a river-dwelling demon in the Flowing

Sands River where he devoured travelers.  To avoid his daily punishment of being stabbed

in the chest by seven magical swords, Wujing was confined to live in the river.  Wujing had

a red beard, had blue skin, and was partially bald.  Unlike Zhu Bajie, Wujing is steadfast,

obedient, and hardworking.  As with Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, Wujing is strong, skilled in

battle, and uses the weapon, Xiangyaobaozhang (降妖寶杖, meaning “Monster Subduing

Precious Rod”), a magical wooden staff.  Wujing was final recruit of Bohdisattva Guanyin

to accompany Tang Sanzang in the pilgrimage.  Guanyin granted Wujing relief from his

suffering as a river-dwelling demon and converted him to Buddhism.  After joining the

pilgrimage, Tang Sanzang renamed Wujing to Sha Heshang.

Who is Bai Long Ma? (not recorded)

Bai Long Ma (白龍馬), meaning “White Dragon Horse”, is a dragon prince, the third son

of the Dragon King of the West.  He accidentally set a fire that destroyed a pearl, a

treasured gift.  Bohdisattva Guanyin, pleading for Bai Long Ma’s life, saved him from

execution.  Bai Long Ma was banished instead to Yingchou Stream and instructed to

await Tang Sanzang.  Upon meeting the pilgrims, through a misunderstanding,

Bai Long Ma, in the form of a dragon, fought Sun Wukong.  But being outmatched,

Bai Long Ma retreated.  Bodhisattva Guanyin clears the misunderstanding about

Bai Long Ma, whereupon he is transformed into the White Dragon Horse as the

fourth disciple and to serve Tang Sanzang on the pilgrimage.

Who is Tang Sanzang? (not recorded)

Tang Sanzang’s original family name was Chen, the son of Palace Graduate Chen

Guangrui and his wife Yin Wenjiao.  Chen Guangrui was murdered by a ferryman

named Lui Hong who abducted his pregnant wife.  When the son was born, Yin Wenjiao

secretly set the baby on a wooden board and sent it adrift down the Yangzi River.

The baby reached Gold Mountain Monastery and found by its abbot.  The abbot

sees to the baby’s care.  He grows up, becomes a Buddhist novice and is

renamed Xuanzang.  He is sent by the Emperor Taizong of Tang to India (in contrast

to the historical Xuanzang, who traveled in disobedience to the Emperor’s ruling)

to collect and return Mahayana Buddhist scriptures to China.  Xuanzang is

renamed Tang Sanzang (唐三藏) for the pilgrimage.  He is also known as Tang

Seng (唐僧), or the “Tang Monk”.

“Journey to the West” – part 1 (recorded)

Sun Wukong is one of five main characters in the fictionalized account or novel of

Xuanzang’s 17-year pilgrimage to India to bring Buddhist scriptures and teachings

to China.  The novel is named “Journey to the West” and is widely believed to have been

written by Wu2 Cheng2 en1 in the 1500’s during the Ming dynasty.  The work is

regarded as one of the classic Chinese novels and many consider it as the most

popular literary work in East Asia.

“Journey to the West” – part 2 (recorded)

“Journey to the West” keeps the general outline of Xuanzang’s own account of his trek

to India.  But the novel is embellished with elements of fantasy and magical adventures

taken from folk tales and from the author’s own imagination.  Sun Wukong’s birth and

early life are detailed and how Wukong was tasked by Bohdisattva Guanyin and the

Buddha to become the first of four disciples of the Buddhist monk and pilgrim,

Tang Sanzang.

“Journey to the West” – part 3 (not recorded)

Bohdisattva Guanyin and the Buddha provide the monk, Tang Sanzang, with three other

disciples who agree, in order to atone for their sins, to travel with

and help Sanzang – Zhu Baijie, Sha Wujing, and Bai Ling Ma.  It should be said

that The Monkey King is also seeking forgiveness and freedom from the prison that the

Buddha has put him.  It is interesting that the Buddha has tasked beings that are not

virtuous and good, but rebellious and self-centered, to be Tang Sanzang’s companions

and guardians.  One of the main points of the novel is that as the group journeys and

endures hardships and adversity on the way to India, the disciples find enlightenment

through cooperation, compassion, and discernment.

Introduction – part 1 (recorded)

This project is about China’s “superhero”, Sun Wukong, also known as The Monkey King.

I am a not superhero fan but, Sun Wukong is not really a superhero!  He is instead a being

born by magical means and attains supernatural abilities through Taoist training and

practice.  Wukong’s life swings from being mischievous and belligerent, to acts of honor

and service for the good of his companions and the world.  He ultimately attains

Buddhahood.

I first heard of this story from my daughter who was in Chinese school

and came home talking about Zhu Bajie.  I researched the character and discovered an

entire world of fantastic stories, characters, and creatures.  I like learning about

Sun Wukong because Wukong’s adventures link colorful storytelling with China’s

history and geography, and the story of the journey to bring sacred Buddhist teachings

and texts from India into China.

Pinyin –

The Pilgrimage of Xuanzang – part 1 (not recorded)

First, a little history about the Buddhist movement in China.  Buddhism was

first introduced to China during the Han dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE).  Many

historians of ancient China agree that it was brought by missionaries from

neighboring India along the Silk Road trade route.  Another account of how

Buddhism came to China is that a Tang dynasty Chinese Buddhist monk named

Xuanzang journeyed 17 years, without permission from the Chinese emperor, to

India in order to learn more about Buddhism.  He believed going to India would

only way to answer questions troubling Chinese Buddhists.

The Pilgrimage of Xuanzang – part 2 (not recorded)

Xuanzang had many adventures as he journeyed on the Silk Road on the way to India.

He traveled through countries where leaders wanted to detain him.  However, through his

his intelligence and devotion to Buddhism, he was able to convince them to aid in him

in his quest to reach India.  After reaching India, he traveled on to Nepal, the home

of Buddha, and then to Nalanda, in north-eastern India. Xuanzang spent many years in

Nalanda, a renowned Buddhist monastery, with the greatest teachers and thinkers

of his time.

The Pilgrimage of Xuanzang – part 3 (not recorded)

The journey to India and back to China was dangerous and harsh as he travelled

through the hot and dry Taklamakan Desert and the high Tian Shan mountains.

Because Xuanzang left without permission, he was officially a fugitive in his

homeland and traveled much of the time under the cover of darkness.

As he neared the end of his 10000-mile pilgrimage, Xuanzang sent a letter to the

emperor describing what he had learned, garnering praise and welcome from the

emperor.  In recognition of his contributions to the advancement of Buddhism

in China, he was appointed a court advisor.

The Pilgrimage of Xuanzang – part 4 (not recorded)

Xuanzang’s translations of the Buddhist scriptures that he brought back to China were

important influences in the evolution of Buddhism in the East.  His scholarly work also

contributed to the establishment of the Consciousness-Only School of Buddhism in

China that stresses that the world is a manifestation of the mind.  The doctrine and

practice of this school forms one of the four main schools of Buddhism.
