李卓吾先生批評西遊記 (Journey to the West), Vol. 1

The four words "The heart moves and the spirit tires" are the path to long life. Those who are good at reading do not necessarily rely on the ancient canons and formal teachings to be considered "reading." On the contrary, even if one spends days circling around those ancient canons, what connection do they really have with the reader?
Regarding my commentary on the Monkey Sun Wukong: it is simply because the pilgrim is mischievous and goes beyond human expectation. I thought of looking for another word to describe him, but nothing is as good as the original "Monkey."
