Today is a society that pays attention to efficiency, and because of this, relatively inefficient book reading has been replaced by more efficient videos and short videos.

"Journey to the West" is one of my country's four great masterpieces. If there were no film and television dramas broadcast, I believe not many people would have watched it.

It would take an average person at least a few days to read the original work. If you want to understand even a little bit of it, it would take at least a few months to do so.

But if you watch the video, you can build the entire "Journey to the West" in your mind within a few days, so very few people read the original "Journey to the West".

However, in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, there is a fifth-grade primary school student named Ma Siqi. She is one of those who likes to read the original novel.

And when she read Journey to the West, she also discovered "loopholes" in Journey to the West.

Perhaps because children are unscrupulous, children tend to be more pure when looking at things, so they sometimes see deeper than adults and can discover things that adults cannot.

After Ma Siqi read "Journey to the West", he pointed out a big loophole of Wu Chengen: in the original work of "Journey to the West", the diets of China and the Western Regions are actually the same.

As we all know, Tang Monk traveled to Tianzhu from the Tang Dynasty to the West, and the eating habits of Tianzhu (ie India) are completely different from those of our country.

Today, the Indians we see eating are completely different from our country in terms of ingredients and methods.

But in "Journey to the West", Tang Seng and his disciples always eat vegetables wherever they go. For example, Zhu Ziguo said: "There, the steward brought food, which was a plate of white rice, a plate of white noodles, and two handfuls of green vegetables.

Four pieces of tofu, two pieces of gluten, a plate of dried bamboo shoots, and a plate of fungus. Sanzang's apprentice collected them and thanked the steward, who said: "There is a clean stove in the West House, and firewood is convenient. Please go and cook."

"The Kingdom of Zhuzi is already a region of India, but it sent some vegetables to Sun Wukong, such as vegetables, tofu, dried bamboo shoots, and fungus. We don't know the rest. Was this tofu available in India at that time? In addition, "Journey to the West"

There are also a lot of mentions of "rice" as a staple food in "The Chronicles". To go from the Tang Dynasty to India, Tang Monk had to pass through some alpine areas. There was definitely no way to grow rice in these places, and the rice that Tang Monk could eat was also fake.

Her discovery was published on the Internet, which aroused heated discussions among many netizens. Some people joked that Sun Wukong brought it here from other places after somersaulting, while others said that they brought some dry food themselves, but these explanations

Ma Siqi's discovery also attracted the attention of an expert on Journey to the West. After reading it, he also gave a thumbs up to the little girl's discovery, because it is indeed a loophole that ordinary people have not thought of.

And it is impossible to refute. However, this loophole cannot be blamed on Wu Chengen, because he is from Huai'an and has never "been abroad". He doesn't know what to eat in the Western Regions or Tianzhu, so he can only write according to his habits.
