Wu Cheng'en, a renowned Chinese writer of the Ming dynasty, is best known for his masterpiece, "Journey to the West." His life and works have been shrouded in mystery, with some scholars even questioning whether he truly wrote the novel. However, Wu's contributions to Chinese literature cannot be denied.
Wu was born in 1506 AD in what is now Jiangsu Province. He came from a family that had lived in Anhui for generations but were also known as the High Hills Wus due to their ancestral home in Quxian Gao Dian. Wu's early life was marked by hardship and disappointment. Despite his literary talents, he failed several times in the imperial examination system that determined social status.
Despite these setbacks, Wu continued to write prolifically. His most famous work is "Journey to the West," which tells the story of Monkey King Sun Wukong and his companions as they travel from China to India on behalf of Tang Sanzang (Tripitaka). The novel combines elements of mythology and fantasy with historical events and social commentary.
The character of Bogaol's mother has sparked much debate among scholars. Some believe she was a reference to Empress Dowager Cixi while others argue that she represents all women who hold power over men. In any case, her influence on Bogaol serves as a metaphor for how societal expectations can shape an individual's behavior.
Throughout his career, Wu drew inspiration from various sources including folk tales and classical literature like Han Yu's poetry collection "Shan Yue" or Liu Zongyuan's short stories about ghosts and supernatural beings found in collections such as "Bai Xing Shu" or "Chun Yang Zhu". These influences are evident throughout his writings where he often explores themes related not only religious beliefs but also societal norms during this time period through use metaphors & allegories within narratives set against real-life historical backdrop such as political turmoil surrounding civil service examinations & corruption prevalent at high levels government officials leading up corrupt lives - see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Cheng_en#Life_and_works
