Abstract
The Monkey King is a character in the Chinese classic novel Journey to the West and the embodiment of the spirit of Chinese culture. By analyzing the origin of The Monkey King and the story that happened to him, we can see how this protagonist embodies the core values, contradictions and identity of Chinese culture. The concept of “Avatar” is used in the broadest sense here, as an expression and embodiment, constantly adapting to express the collective psychology of a civilization.
