The Jade Emperor's nephew, Erlang Shen, is brought to have a battle of transformations with Sun Wukong. It seems that he is still not quite powerful enough to capture the Monkey King, but maybe the founder of Daoism can help?
*Our conversation afterwards contains a few words not appropriate for younger listeners that we did not censor. Apologies, parents! We were tired.

The bodhisattva Guanyin arrives to attend the Immortal Peach Festival and finds Heaven upturned over a stone monkey. We discuss the portrayals of Buddhism and Guanyin in the media that have made the deepest impression on us, given that we both have very little personal experience with Buddhism, as well as the propensity of Journey to the West to write fight scenes as poetry.

Wukong bullies the Dragon King into giving him his signature weapon, the Will-Abiding Gold Banded Staff, or 如意金箍棒. Where does this legendary weapon come from, and what powers does it have? What is a Chinese dragon? Does it breathe fire?

Wukong gets into his first fight and hey, why does the fight scene kind of suck? Why does this story sound so odd to our modern western ears? What is a demon, or 妖怪, in Chinese mythology anyway? (Hint: It's not what you think!)

Where did the nimbus cloud in Dragonball originate? What about Naruto's clone ability? Airbending? Most importantly, what is the secret to immortality? In this chapter, we see why the Wukong-like character has become such a popular trope as he becomes one of the most powerful characters in fiction.

Mon, 03 Jul 2023 - 28min - 1 - The Monkey King is Born | Journey to the West Part 1 | ABC Storytime
Language shouldn't be a barrier to connecting with your heritage. We hope that by telling these traditional Chinese stories in English (sometimes Chinglish), we can explore Chinese worldviews and help ABCs connect with their roots.
We start off with a classic - Journey to the West - a Chinese mythological epic that inspired Sun Goku from Dragonball and Saiyuki, Mori Jin in the God of High School, Tiansheng in Animal Crossing, and many others.
