![]() The work in question could have been any version of our story, or something else entirely." Translator W. What the gazetteer says is that Wu wrote something called The Journey to the West. ![]() Brown University Chinese literature scholar David Lattimore states: "The Ambassador's confidence was quite unjustified. Recent scholarship casts doubts on this attribution. He reasoned that the people of Wu's hometown attributed it early on to Wu, and kept records to that effect as early as 1625 thus, claimed Ambassador Hu, Journey to the West was one of the earliest Chinese novels for which the authorship is officially documented. Hu Shih, literary scholar and former Ambassador to the United States, wrote that the novel was thought to have been written and published anonymously by Wu Cheng'en. Yu, writing in 2012, warned that "this vexing dispute over the novel's authorship, similar to that on the priority of its textual versions, see-sawed back and forth for nearly a century without resolution." The question of authorship is further complicated by the fact that a good deal of the novel's material had been published in the form of folk tales. The earliest known full-length version of Journey to the West was published anonymously in 1592, preceded by two briefer versions. The four protagonists, from left to right: Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang (on the White Dragon Horse), Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing Enduringly popular, the novel is at once a comic adventure story, a humorous satire of Chinese bureaucracy, a source of spiritual insight, and an extended allegory. Journey to the West has strong roots in Chinese folk religion, Chinese mythology, Confucianism, Taoist, and Buddhist theology, and the pantheon of Taoist immortals and Buddhist bodhisattvas are still reflective of some Chinese religious attitudes today. The group of pilgrims journeys towards enlightenment by the power and virtue of cooperation. ![]() These disciples are Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, together with a dragon prince who acts as Tang Sanzang's steed, a white horse. The novel retains the broad outline of Xuanzang's own account, Great Tang Records on the Western Regions, but adds elements from folk tales and the author's invention: Gautama Buddha gives this task to the monk and provides him with three protectors who agree to help him as an atonement for their sins. The monk is referred to as Tang Sanzang in the novel. The novel is an extended account of the legendary pilgrimage of the Tang dynasty Buddhist monk Xuanzang, who traveled to the " Western Regions" ( Central Asia and India) to obtain Buddhist sacred texts ( sūtras) and returned after many trials and much suffering. Arthur Waley's abridged translation, Monkey, is known in English-speaking countries. It is regarded as one of the greatest Classic Chinese Novels, and has been described as arguably the most popular literary work in East Asia. Journey to the West ( Chinese: 西遊記 pinyin: Xī Yóu Jì Wade–Giles: Hsi 1 Yu 2 Chi 4) is a Chinese novel published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty and attributed to Wu Cheng'en. This then led up to Xoti still coming forth with her feelings towards you (the watcher obviously).Journey to the West in Traditional (top) and Simplified (bottom) Chinese characters So best outcome I managed to get is to accept Maia's romance to get access to the "hidden quest" relating her bird, and then tell her that we should go back as friends. Marking the next lines as spoiler as it includes some stuff from the dialogues, this is also the best "outcome" I could even get. I also tried to move Maia and Edèr away from the party when entering location so Xoti would be the first one to talk since she's the closest companion at the time, but seems that is not the logic for this event. I tried to do the romance options for Maia but then Xoti never came forth, turned down Maia and accepted Xoti, tried to talk to Maia and see if any options were there but none. (Edèr's conversation is irrelevant to upcoming lines) I just spent like 30-40min trying different stuff because I entered a location and Maia, Edèr and Xoti started talking to me in that order. Anyone know if its possible to romance multiple companions?
