I think the Tang monk meat should be absolutely beautiful. After all, so many monsters want to eat it. Unfortunately, none of them have succeeded. It is said that those monsters may have been cheated, and eating human flesh can live forever. There is no scientific basis. As for why we should steam it, it may be because steaming it can better maintain the original flavor of Tang monk meat.

Tang Priest, also known as Tang Sanzang, is a figure in The Journey to the West, one of the Four Great Classical Novels in China. He was reincarnated and rebuilt by Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of the Tathagata. His prototype was Xuanzang, a monk in the Tang Dynasty, and his layman's name was Chen Xian, and his dharma name was Xuanzang. He was honored as "Master Sanzang" and later called "Tang Priest".

When it comes to the Tang Priest in The Journey to the West, it is a household name. The prototype of Tang Priest is Xuanzang in the Tang Dynasty. At the age of 13, he followed his second brother to become a monk in Luoyang Jingtu Temple. In the Tang Dynasty, he traveled to India and studied Buddhist scriptures carefully. After 17 years, he returned to Chang 'an and wrote books and translated scriptures in Hongfu Temple, Jionji and other places, which made great contributions to the cultural exchanges between China and India.

In Xuanzang's hometown, his sacred sites are everywhere, including the Tang Priest Temple, the Tang Priest's Tomb, and the Preface Monument of Sanzang in the Tang Dynasty. Locals seldom call him by his French number, but usually call him Tang Priest or Holy Monk. People are used to calling him this way, because it is easy to understand and can show the special feelings of hometown people.
