Journey to the West is a Chinese novel published in the 16th century during the Ming Dynasty, which is considered one of the four greatest classic novels of Chinese literature and perhaps the most popular literary work in East Asia. The journey to the West has strong roots in Chinese mythology, Taoist and Buddhist philosophy.
