Black Myth: Wukong

The origins and life story of Sun Wukong

Family Background
Sun Wukong's origins are described in detail in "Journey to the West." He was originally a magical stone that absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, located on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit in the Ao Lai country of the Eastern Continent. This magical stone gave birth to Sun Wukong, who was born without parents and was naturally spirited. Sun Wukong's birth was accompanied by a loud sound and light, even startling the Jade Emperor in heaven.

The Origin of the Name
Sun Wukong's name was given by the Patriarch Puti after he became his disciple and learned the art. The patriarch gave him the surname "Hu," removing the beast side, and adding the character for "child" and "system" to form the surname "Sun." Among the twelve-character ranking of the patriarch's school, Sun Wukong was ranked "Wu," so the patriarch named him "Wukong," which means the person who comprehends the truth. Later, Sun Wukong was also given the Dharma name "Xingzhe" by Tang Seng during the journey to the West to obtain the scriptures.

Growth Experience
During his growth, Sun Wukong learned various skills, including the way of longevity, seventy-two changes, and the somersault cloud. He also had the Ruyi Jingu Bang, a weapon that could change its size at will. He became the king of the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit, and was later recruited by the heavenly court as the "Heavenly Horse Warmer." Dissatisfied with the position, he rebelled against the heavenly court and proclaimed himself the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven." In the battle with the heavenly troops, he was refined by Tai Shang Lao Jun's Bagua Furnace and obtained a pair of fiery eyes that can see through darkness, and was finally pressed under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years.

Journey to the West for the Scriptures
Sun Wukong was rescued by Tang Seng from under the Five Fingers Mountain and became his disciple, going to the West to obtain the scriptures together. On the way to obtain the scriptures, Sun Wukong subdued demons and monsters many times and established many great achievements. Although he was misunderstood and punished by his master Tang Seng many times, he remained loyal. In the end, the four masters successfully obtained the true scriptures, and Sun Wukong was also named the Buddha of the Victorious Fight.

Conclusion
In summary, Sun Wukong is a legendary figure in Chinese culture, and his origins and life story are full of mythological colors. His image not only represents the wisdom and courage of the ancient Chinese people but also embodies their pursuit of kindness, justice, and indomitable spirit.
