Monks in the temple bullied them because tourists refused to take them in, humiliating Tang Priest, and Wukong showed his great power, which scared the monks to meet them in a hurry. Four disciples spent the night in the temple, enjoying the moon and talking about the scriptures, and three disciples rested, leaving only Tang Priest to recite the scriptures at night.

Creative background:
In the first year of Zhenguan of Emperor Taizong (627), Xuanzang Tianzhu, a 25-year-old monk, went hiking in India. After starting from Chang 'an, he passed through Central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and finally arrived in India.
He studied there for more than two years and gave a speech at a large-scale debate on Buddhist classics, which was well received. In the 19th year of Zhenguan (645), Xuanzang returned to Chang 'an and brought back 657 Buddhist scriptures, which was a sensation. Later, Xuanzang dictated his The Journey to the West, which was compiled by his disciples into a 12-volume Record of the Western Regions of Datang.
Wu Cheng'en, the author of The Journey to the West, lived in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and experienced five periods: Hongzhi in Xiaozong, Zhengde in Wuzong, Jiajing in Sejong, Qin Long in Mu Zong and Wanli in Zongshen.
The social situation in the middle and late Ming dynasty was very different from that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Political class contradictions, ethnic contradictions and contradictions within the ruling class have intensified and become increasingly acute. The ideological and cultural enlightenment rose, the trend of human liberation rose, civic literature became increasingly prosperous, novel and drama creation entered a period of all-round prosperity, and capitalism sprouted economically.
