《西游记》是我国明代伟大小说家吴承恩写的，被誉为中国古典文学四大名著之一。
Journey to the west is written by Wu Chengen, a great and small thinker in Ming Dynasty. It is known as one of the four famous works of Chinese classical literature.
本书根据南宋话本《大唐三藏取经诗话》，名间流传的唐僧取经的故事和一些平话、杂剧综合加工、大胆想象，创造而成。本书主要歌颂了孙悟空同邪恶和困难作斗争的勇敢、坚毅；同时表现了唐僧的仁慈、怯懦、迂腐；猪八戒的憨厚、自私、可笑。作品运用积极浪漫主义的创作方法，描绘出神奇的幻想图画，反映了人民的理想、意志和愿望。故事离奇曲折、变化多端，人物形象活灵活现，语言生动诙谐，是我国青少年最优秀的读物之一。
This book is based on the Southern Song Dynasty story book "three collections of Scripture poetry in the Tang Dynasty", the story of Tang Monk's Scripture collection circulated among famous people, and some Pinghua and Zaju's comprehensive processing, bold imagination and creation. This book mainly praises Monkey King's bravery and perseverance in fighting against evil and difficulties; meanwhile, it shows monk Tang's kindness, cowardice and pedantry; pig Bajie's honesty, selfishness and laughability. The work uses the creative method of Active Romanticism to depict the magical fantasy picture, reflecting the people's ideal, will and desire. It is one of the best books for teenagers in our country. The story is strange, tortuous, changeable, vivid and humorous.
愿这本《西游记》能够成为少年儿童的阅读精品，丰富我们的精神世界，是大家都能真切的感受到古典文学的无穷魅力。
I hope this book "journey to the west" can become a fine reading for children and enrich our spiritual world, so that everyone can truly feel the infinite charm of classical literature.
