Since Pangu opened the world, the three emperors ruled the world, and the five emperors Dinglun, there is a land overseas called Aolai country. It is close to the sea, and in the middle of the sea stands a mountain called Huaguo Mountain. This mountain is the spiritual vein of heaven and earth, and it has existed since the beginning of chaos and the judgment of Hongmeng. At the top of the mountain, there is a fairy stone. This stone is three feet six feet five inches high, two feet four feet wide, its height is like three hundred and sixty-five degrees of Zhou Tian, and the width is like the twenty-four qi of the political calendar. There are nine holes and eight holes on the stone, echoing with the gossip of the nine palaces.

Since the birth of the stone, it has absorbed the innocent earth show, the essence of the sun and the moon, and over time, there has been spirituality. One day, a stone egg burst out of the stone, round and slippery. Because of the weather, he turned into a stone monkey, with complete facial features and strong limbs. He immediately learned to walk, learn to speak, and prayed in all directions. Two golden rays of light shot out of its eyes, soaring into the sky. The monkeys revered him as the "Monkey King" because of his successful breakthrough into the Water Curtain Cave.

After a lot of hardships, he worshiped under the patriarch of Subodhi, and learned superb spells such as seventy-two changes, somersault clouds, and immortality, and was named Sun Wukong. He was born in a fairy stone on Huaguo Mountain, born from heaven and earth, without parents, without a name and surname. The ancestor took a surname "Qian" from the monkey king, and went to the beast to be an ancient month, which means that the old yin can not be cultivated, so he taught him the surname "Tan", and went to the beast to be a subline, which is in line with the original meaning of the baby. His name is based on the twelve characters in the patriarch's door - the vast wisdom is really like the nature of Hai Ying Wu Yuanjue, and the turn of the monkey king is the "enlightenment" generation, so the ancestor named him "Sun Wukong".

Wukong realizes the nature of the vacuum, and he must walk in this emptiness in order to achieve the realm of gold and water. So he was known as the "Walker" and also known as the "Monkey King". The story of this legendary hero has been perfectly presented in the four famous Chinese novels "Journey to the West", and has become a myth and legend in the hearts of generations of people.
