李卓吾先生批評西遊記 (Journey to the West), Vol. 8

"At that time, drunk on wine and muddled in mind, I swayed and stumbled, acting recklessly. I used my power to break into the Palace of Vast Cold the moon palace of the goddess Chang'e.

The beautiful fairy came to meet me, her appearance enough to steal a soul. My old mortal desires were hard to extinguish.

Lacking all sense of high and low, and losing proper decorum, I grabbed hold of Chang'e and insisted we sleep together. Again and again, she refused.

I hid here and there, my heart unhappy. My lust was as great as heaven, and I shouted like thunder, nearly shaking the celestial gates.

The Inspector Official reported me to the Jade Emperor, for that day my destiny was ill-fated." Vast Cold

"Surrounded and with no air flow,

With no path of advance or retreat, I could not escape. I was seized by the gods; though my heart pained, I was not yet afraid.

I was escorted to the Hall of Miraculous Radiance to see the Jade Emperor. According to the law, I was sentenced to death. Thanks to the Great White Planet, Li Jinxing,

Who stepped forward and knelt to plead on my behalf. My sentence was commuted to two thousand blows, leaving my flesh torn and bones nearly broken.

I was released and banished from the celestial gates. I sought a livelihood under Mount Fuling. Because of my sin, I was wrongly reincarnated,

And my worldly name became Zhu Ganglie."
