Hmm... I'll go find the original text of Journey to the West and translate it right away, but I'm curious, are there no original texts of Journey to the West available in libraries or online outside of China?

No

I didn't expect this Teutonic monkey to actually understand this concept. I used to think you guys only drank horse urine.

You're welcome. Which type would you like to see? There are currently three popular types of stories about Sun Wukong in China: 1、The translations of the original works. 2、Adaptations based on the original works, where modern people travel to Sun Wukong's world or Sun Wukong travels to the modern world. 3、Suspenseful and horror-style stories, which are usually only enjoyed by Chinese audiences and often depict Sun Wukong's life as a series of conspiracies and intrigues involving various deities and buddhas.

1、I've lived in China all my life and have never heard of anyone treating the substance you mentioned as alcohol. 2、Soaking animals or other substances in alcohol does not require fermentation. It only involves utilizing the high solubility of organic compounds in alcohol to extract medicinal components from those substances. The objects for extraction typically include herbs, poison glands from toxic animals, deer antlers, and other medicinal materials, but not hornets. 3、If you are unwilling, you need not consider us of the same race; I come from a nation referred to as brethren by the Romans, while your country is the barbarian tribe that destroyed Rome. There's a saying, "蛮夷类兽" (Barbarians are akin to beasts), and another phrase goes, "入夷则夷，入夏则夏" (If civilized people learn from beasts, they will become barbarians, but if barbarians learn from Romans or Chinese, they will become civilized). 4、Knowing that hornets cannot be used to brew alcohol doesn't require education from China; it only demands the most basic human common sense.

You should understand the full picture of something before making judgments: In ancient China, due to overpopulation, many people lacked sufficient food, and meat rich in protein and fat became something many desired but couldn't get. This phrase simply expresses the food scarcity in ancient China, yet you only thought of your racist perspective, without considering those ancient people struggling with hunger.

This is a Chinese phrase: "Nine-foot tall man." In ancient China, one foot was equivalent to twenty centimeters, so nine feet would be approximately 1.8 meters in height.

This is a Chinese proverb: "At thirty, one is a wolf; at forty, a tiger." It means that women around the age of thirty to forty have very strong sexual desires. When they are with their husbands, they may "devour" them like fierce beasts.
