Preface: The Monkey
[edit]The story of the exploits of Sun Wukung (孫悟空; known in the West as the Monkey King) narrated in the sixteenth century book the Journey to the West shows the Monkey King to be a rascal and a thief as well as the resilient trickster figure who is able to outwit both the celestial gods and the lords of the netherworld (陰間) before at last earning great honor through his service to them.[1]

Before the monkey came
[edit]Beginning at the end
[edit]“ | At day's end, like hush of dew Comes evening. A hawk wipes the scent of sunlight fom its wings. When earth's colors fade and some pale design is sketched, Then glimmering fireflies paint in the story... |
