some background knowledge
Sun Wu Kong
Meaning: Wu - Awareness
Kong - Vacuity
Origin: Pu Ti Zu Shi, the Taoist immortal who taught him the way of immortality and magic, gave Wu Kong this name when he became his disciple. There is a little story behind the surname 'Sun'. In chinese, 'hu sun' is a word for monkey. 'Hu' is made up of the characters 'gu', meaning 'old' and 'yue', meaning 'moon', and with the symbol (we call it bu shou but there's no English equivalent) used in animal names at the left. Old and moon carries negative connotations (moon symbolises yin, negativity) so Pu Ti Zu Shi choose 'sun' as the monkey's surname. If you take away the animal symbol, you get the character 'sun', that is, a different 'sun' meaning 'grandchildren'. It is made up of the characters 'zi', meaning 'child' or 'children' and 'xiao', meaning 'little' or 'small'. Better than old moon, at least. So Pu Ti Zu Shi gave Wu Kong the surname Sun. And he's carried it proudly ever since.
Age
Roughly 850 at the time of the pilgrimage.
ÒÇÇ
Status
- Demonic Immortal (Yao Xian).
- Stone Monkey (Shi Hou).
ÒÇÇ
Original Locatio
Water Curtain Cave (Shui Lian Dong), Mountain of Flower and Fruit (Hua Guo Shan).
Country: Aolai Kingdom( geologically should be japan….but it does not matter where he's from, Wu Kong's not from China, because his personality is symbolic of the Chinese as a people. Helping people in need, putting 'face' and honour high on his priority list, and a certain tendency to shy away from reality are just a few of the identifying traits.
Continent: Dong Sheng Shen Zhou (the eastern continent)
Titles/Other Names
(1) Handsome Monkey King (Mei Hou Wang)
His title when he became king of the monkeys.
(2) Bi Ma We
His title as head of the Heavenly Stables when he first went to Heaven. But when he found out that it had no rank whatsoever, he left the post in anger. From then on, he always hated it when anyone called him by that name.
(3) Great Sage Equal of Heaven (Qi Tian Da Sheng)
When he returned to Flower Fruit Mountain after leaving his post as Bi Ma Wen, two single-horned demon kings came to him and suggested that he take the title of Great Sage Equal of Heaven. Wu Kong was very receptive of this idea and called himself by that title from then on.
(4) Sun Xing Zhe
Tang San Zang gave Wu Kong the name of Xing Zhe (traveling monk) when he became his disciple.
(5) Hun Yuan Yi Qi Shang Fang Tai Yi San Xian (or simply Tai Yi San Xian)
Wu Kong's rank as an immortal.
(6) Buddha of Victorious Battles (Dou Zhan Sheng Fo)
This was his name when he finally attained Buddhahood or zheng guo. Really suits him,
