Three Zang of Journey to the West, Subduing Demons?
In the modern plane:
"So they're broadcasting Journey to the West! This is wonderful, I love this book so much."
"In Journey to the West, my favorite is the Great Sage! When I was a little boy, my grandpa took me to see an opera of it—The Havoc in Heaven. I'll never forget it as long as I live!"
"I wonder how the Journey to the West shown on this screen compares to our movie, Cave of the Silken Web?"
During the Republic of China era, a Journey to the West movie had been released, but it was later banned. The main reason was that it contained numerous bizarre and superstitious elements. Aside from the fact that mainstream thought in Zhonghuajia at the time was focused on breaking down feudal superstition, there was another factor that could not be ignored: the actors in the film, both in their attire and their performances, were slightly too "sensational," which at the time was considered offensive to public decency.
