Monkey King Festival
The Monkey King Festival ((中国語:齊天大聖千秋) or (中国語:猴王诞)) is celebrated in China on the 16th day of the eighth Lunar month of the Chinese calendar, corresponding to September according to the Common era calendar, a day after the Mid Autumn Festival. The origin of the festival is traced to an epic novel titled ''Journey to the West'' (Xiyou Ji, 西游记) written by the Chinese novelist Wu Cheng'en (1500–1582) in the 16th century during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644). The novel brings out the concept of immortality from Taoism and rebirth from Buddhism. The monkey Sun Wukong, a character in the novel, is the featured figure of the festival.
==Story==
The story has entered into annals of folklore in China. It revolves around Xuanzang, a Buddhist monk during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Harassed by demons and bandits, he visits India, accompanied by his disciples, and protectors, Sun Wukong the Monkey King, Pigsy (猪八戒) and Sandy (沙悟浄).〔 They return to China with Buddhist scriptures.〔 The novel's story became subsumed into the popular culture of China. When the Monkey King appeared in a Buddhist novel, he attained a higher recognition in the cultural ethos of China; temples were built in his honor and his biography was established. The birthday of the Monkey King is observed as the New Year Day, and also as trickster day as he had immeasurable talent and cunning wit.
