Basis For
Ummm....didn't this serve as a loose basis for the _Dragonball_ anime series?


 * Indeed it did. There's probably a whole bunch of other stuff I've forgotten to mention as well... -- Paul A 00:52 24 May 2003 (UTC)


 * Not only a loose basis, but the main character of the anime, Goku, is named after the Japanese transliteration of Sun Wukong's name, Son Goku.--24.152.188.86 22:00, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

interwiki
I've just been visiting this article's interwiki counterparts to see if any happen to have useful images; the image I just added is the best I could find. But I note with interest that the Chinese wikipedia's primary image is a front-cover scan of one of the English translations... --Paul A 02:05, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

punishment
sun wukong was punished for his mischeiviousness by being brought into heaven, while the pig dude who accidentally knocked over a vase was stabbed one hundred times a day by a magic flying sword.

the pig was punished for coveting one of the goddess Chang'e. the vase was knocked over by Sha wujing. Xunflash 22:54, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

did some arranging
I'm new. Did a little cleanup. Intend to know if further cleaning up is needed. Don't know how to proceed. Please advise, anyone. Thanks. Sylee 04:15, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Xian
I visited Xian this summer, and brought back a great panorama of the Great Wild Goose Pagoda, the starting and ending point of the REAL "Journey to the West".

I added the panorama to the bottom of the page. The sanskrit scrolls/religious writings brought back by Xuanzang from India were at one point stored and translated at the pagoda. According to a tourguide, Xuanzang is also buried beneath the pagoda (though I doubt it). Yan

Real

 * What do you mean by "real" JTTW? --Maru (talk) 23:17, 25 September 2005 (UTC)


 * The Journey to the West is based on real events. Xuanzang was a real guy who really did go to India. Yan


 * Ah. The historical Journey to the West. --Maru (talk) 01:29, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
