In "Journey to the West", the daughter country is a magical country like a dream, which makes countless people yearn for it. It is located on the road of the four Tang monks and apprentices to learn scriptures in the west, where the king is beautiful and gentle, and fell in love with Tang Seng at first sight, but in the end they failed to be together for various reasons. So, does this fascinating daughter country exist in reality?
First of all, we must understand that the daughter country in "Journey to the West" is a fictional story written by Wu Chengen, and it is not a real country. However, in the torrent of history, there are indeed some places that are known as "daughter countries" because of their unique culture and traditions.
The most famous of these is the Murdo Mountains in Danba County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan. In Tibetan legend, the mountain is a sacred mountain where the goddess resides on the top of the mountain, so it is regarded as a symbol of feminist worship. Tibetan women there have a higher status and have unique cultures and traditions. Therefore, it is called the "daughter country" in reality.
In addition, the "daughter village" in the area of Longba Township, Mojiangba, Mojiang County, Pu'er, Yunnan Province, is also a magical place. It is said that the women of this place are more independent, have their own culture and traditions, and are also regarded as the existence of a "daughter country".
However, although there are some similarities between these real-life "daughter countries" and the daughter countries in "Journey to the West", they are not exactly the same. These places do not appear in the case of drinking the water of the Mother and Child River and giving birth to only girls, as in the story.
In general, the daughter country in "Journey to the West" is a fictional storyline, while the real "daughter country" is a special social phenomenon formed based on local culture and traditions. While they share some similarities, they are not all the same.
