There is no clear explanation in "Journey to the West".

But according to the description in "Journey to the West", Sha Monk drank jade jelly and fairy wine at the Peach Fair before he was demoted to the Liusha River, so he may like sweet food and drinks.

In addition, during the pilgrimage, Sha Monk also tasted various human delicacies, such as fruits, pastries, vegetarian dishes, meat, etc., so he may not be picky about food, as long as he can fill his stomach.

Sha Seng is one of the protagonists in the Chinese classic "Journey to the West". He is the disciple of Tang Monk in Liusha River. His monastic name is Wu Jing, and his predecessor was the general rolling curtain.

During the pilgrimage for Buddhist scriptures, Sha Monk was often responsible for guarding the luggage and driving the white dragon horse. He would also help the master and his brothers to slay demons at critical moments.

Sha Monk's weapon is the magic staff, which is made by Lu Ban from osmanthus branches cut by Wu Gang.
