Abstract

Author explored and analyzed the tragic theme of novel of Journey to the West from the different religious aspects, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism and “Combination of three religions”. Wu Cheng’en wrote in a humorous tone to disclose the ugly realities and he wanted to save the decadent feudal society in religious ways. But the author himself had found the illusory of religions at same time, which made him helpless. The research results would help well comprehend the theme of Journey to the West from religious views, and provide reference for creative writing. This also enriched the religious terms of tragic researches.
