"Journey to the West" reading notes excerpt insights
In the treasure house of Chinese culture, "Journey to the West" is undoubtedly a bright pearl. This myth written by the Ming Dynasty writer Wu Chengen has become a classic in the history of Chinese literature with its rich imagination, vivid plot and vivid characters. In the process of reading this **, I not only felt its profound connotation and thoughts, but also gained a lot of wisdom and inspiration in life.
In "Journey to the West", the scripture-learning team composed of Sun Wukong, Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng went through 9981 difficulties, and finally succeeded in obtaining the true scriptures and returning to the Tang Dynasty. In the process, they not only overcame various difficulties and challenges, but also grew and progressed while supporting each other. Among them, Sun Wukong, as one of the protagonists, is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with his powerful and witty image. He dared to challenge authority, was not afraid of power, and did not hesitate to take risks and make difficulties for the sake of learning from experience. This spirit of courage and determination is undoubtedly an example for us to follow.
While reading, I was drawn to many of the plots in the book. Among them, the most fascinating is the plot of Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace. He acted recklessly in the heavenly palace, challenged the gods, and was finally pressed by the Buddha at the foot of the Five Fingers Mountain. This plot not only shows Sun Wukong's bravery and fearlessness, but also reflects his unruly character. At the same time, the plot also implies a reflection on authority and rules, reminding us to bravely challenge injustice and authority while sticking to our principles.
In the process of learning from experience, the mutual support and trust between team members is also one of the most touching episodes. Tang Seng, as the leader of the scripture-learning team, led the team to overcome many difficulties with compassion and the belief of purifying all sentient beings. Although Zhu Bajie is greedy and lazy, he can also stand up at critical moments and contribute to the success of the team. Sha Seng has become an indispensable member of the team with the spirit of hard work and hard work. They support each other in difficult times and advance and retreat together, and this team spirit is something we should learn from and advocate.
In terms of perception, "Journey to the West" has given me a lot of inspiration. First and foremost, it taught me the importance of persistence and perseverance. In the process of learning from the experience, the team members have gone through countless trials and tribulations, but they have always been firm in their beliefs and courageously moving forward. This indomitable spiritual quality is what we should have when facing the difficulties and challenges of life. Secondly, "Journey to the West" also made me realize the power of teamwork. In a team, each member has their own characteristics and strengths, and only by trusting, collaborating and supporting each other can we overcome difficulties and achieve success. Finally, "Journey to the West" also made me understand the importance of self-cultivation and improvement. In the process of learning scriptures, the four Tang monks and apprentices are also constantly cultivating and improving their abilities and spiritual realms. This pursuit of self-growth is also the direction we should make unremitting efforts in life.
In short, "Journey to the West", as a classic myth**, not only attracts countless readers with its rich imagination and vivid plot, but also gives us many inspirations and insights with its profound ideological connotation and life wisdom. Through reading "Journey to the West", I have a deeper understanding of the complexity of human nature, the true meaning of life, and the path of growth. In the days to come, I will continue to absorb the wisdom and strength in "Journey to the West", face the challenges and difficulties in life bravely, and strive to become a better version of myself.
