| Short Description | From Dragon Ball to Jackie Chan, there have been countless adaptations of the world's most popular folk tale! Learn the true history that inspired the stories, the legends, and the 16th-century novel. |
| Long Description | Though less ubiquitous in Western culture, the Journey to the West story is thought to be the widest-known cultural tale in the world. Many modern adaptations take their inspiration from the 16th-century novel, but the stories themselves date back nearly a thousand years earlier -- and were based on real events. We'll examine the historical and cultural context for the novel and the lore it collected, plus take a look at modern adaptations including cinematic blockbusters, McDonald's Happy Meal toys, video games, and even K-pop hits! |
