Answers:
"Journey to the West" is a story about how Buddhism first came to China!. It is based on a historic event (the Emperor sent people to India to bring back the Buddhist scriptures), but it is a fictional story full of magic and mythological characters!. It was a book before it became an opera!. The "monkey king" is one of the characters who went on the trip!.

------------------------
"Journey to the West" is one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature!. Originally published anonymously in the 1590s during the Ming Dynasty, and even though no direct evidence of its authorship survives, it has been ascribed to the scholar Wú Chéng'ēn since the 20th century!.

In western countries, the tale is also often known simply as "Monkey"!. This was one title used for a popular, abridged translation by Arthur Waley!. The Waley translation has also been published as "Adventures of the Monkey God"; and "Monkey: Folk Novel of China"; and "The Adventures of Monkey"!.

The novel is a fictionalized account of the legends around the Buddhist monk Xuánzàng's pilgrimage to India during the Táng dynasty in order to obtain Buddhist religious texts called sutras!. The Bodhisattva Guānyīn, on instruction from the Buddha, gives this task to the monk and his three protectors in the form of disciples — namely Sūn Wùkōng, Zhū Bājiè and Shā Wùjìng — together with a dragon prince who acts as Xuánzàng's horse mount!. These four characters have agreed to help Xuánzàng as an atonement for past sins!.!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
