#Sun louhou

[icekingofhope]

One thing I wish people talk about more is wukongs kids

yuebei xing Luzhen and Jidu and louhou (and others but that’s a story for another day)

cause in a way they are still detites but also I love thinking about dadkong and how much he loves each of his kids no matter what

so I decided to draw them when they were children and make cute shit

(also without text verison of the second image-)

[the-monkey-ruler]

Do you know all of Sun Wukong's children? I understand that King Paramita is Lady Iron Fan's son with Wukong(?). and that Yuebei Xing and her brothers are maybe children of Taiyin xing (the theory). Obviously I understand that they are not like something canon, however, it is interesting to know about them.

I can’t say that I do know every iteration that Wukong has kids but I can try to make a list of what I got at least! There are the non-canon kids of Sun Wukong that I know of at least right now. I'm sure there is more but these are the ones I know from media at the moment.

A Supplement to the Journey to the West (1640) 西遊補 (this is just a dream) Paramita 4 other unnamed sons

Journey to the South (1570) 南遊記 (unnamed partner) Jidu Luohou Yuebei Xing

Later Journey to the West (17th-century) 後西遊記 Sun Luzhen (adopted)

Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes (2000) マーヴル VS. カプコン 2 Sonson

Westward Journey Online II (2002) 大话西游2经典版 Mind Monkey (unintentionally contributed to new Rock Monkey)

High School DxD (2008) ハイスクールD×D Bikou

The Monkey King's Daughter (2009) Meilin Cheng

New Journey to the West: Unexpected Jingxi (2017) 新西游之意外晶喜 Unborn child (with White Bone spirit) (also might not be his)

Adventure in Journey to the West (2018)大闹西游 Sun Wuyuan (disciple, but like it's obvious he adopted)

God of High School (2020) 갓 오브 하이 스쿨 Park Taejin (adopted)

DC Festival of Heroes: The Asian Superhero Celebration #1 (2021) Sun Marcus (hair clone treated as child)

The Chronicles of the Ranger (2021) 游侠战纪 Hou Mo (stone monkey, hard to say if direct descendant)

Monkey King (2022) 悟·空 Sun Xiaosheng (disciple, might be adopted)

American Born Chinese(2023) Sun Wei-Chen

Honorary mentions:

Monkey King: Hero Is Back (2015) 西遊記之大聖歸來 Jiang Liu'er Anan

My Dad is Monkey King (2021) 我的爸爸是齐天大圣 Li Yiyi (this is more symbolic than real dad)

Lego Monkie Kid (2021) 悟空小侠 Qi Xiaotian / MK (stone monkey, possibly related)

So this is NOT ALL of the children I'm sure but I'm sure as I keep posting media that the list with increase!

I made a fanfic about the non-canon kids for Supplement JTTW, JTTS, and PJTTW!

I do wanna say that I started the chapters with Wukong being mostly inspired by 1996 Xiyouji dynamics and who Wukong is mostly based on. The first chapters are about Paramita and the four unnamed kids in Supplement! All named after paramitas in buddism.

I try to base each kid off one of Wukong's inspirations in media! I hope y'all enjoy!

I'm not the best artist but I did have fun trying to draw them

Pink - Jnana, fifth born

Red - Paramita, first born

Yellow - Bala, fourth born

Green - Pranidhana, thrid born

Blue - Upaya - second born

Jiaozi is a character from the "journey to the west" of the yuan zaju dynasty, daughter of king huolun jinding and wife of sun wukong, the great sage of tongtian. Sun wukong once said, "I stole fairy clothes, fairy hats, fairy peaches and fairy wine in my heavenly palace. My wife will happily enjoy them." So jiaozi is not only sun wukong's wife also is the mother of his children. Jidu and luohou and daughter yuebei. The eclipses twins and the moon star comet

@maidenofthecloud hmmmm apologies if I'm missing something but as far as I knew "Jiaozi" is just a kind of dumpling (X_X). HOWEVER, this could very well just be due to my own ignorance and the fact that I've never encountered an English translation of the Zaju Xiyou Ji. If you have the link to one please share it!

As it is pretty much all my knowledge of that play comes from the scholar Hongmei Sun's overview of different versions of the the Monkey King throughout the centuries. Here's a few things she has to say on this earlier version of the westward journey:

"The six-part, twenty-four-act Zaju Xiyou ji is attributed to the fourteenth-century playwright Yang Jingxian, who lived during the late Yuan and early Ming periods. In the few hundred years between Shihua [an even earlier version] and Zaju, the story of ‘Journey to the West’ is not only more expanded, containing many of the stories that can be found later in Journey to the West, but the monkey figure in Zaju has grown into a character strikingly different from Hou Xingzhe [the monk's faithful companion in Shihua]. If Hou Xingzhe in Shihua is depicted as an advisor for Tripitaka, as respectable albeit mysterious deity, and a brave fighter, the monkey in Zaju is pictured as a rowdy clown, an untamed demon and ill-qualified Buddhist disciple.

The monkey’s name in Zaju now is almost the same as in the sixteenth-century fiction Journey to the West. He refers to himself as ‘Tongtian Dasheng’ (Great Sage Reaching Heaven), only one word’s difference from ‘Qitian Dasheng,’ the title Sun Wukong receives from the Taoist heaven in the sixteenth-century book. In some versions of the Monkey King story, including the Zaju, Qitian Dasheng and Tongtian Dasheng are brothers…

Although Tongtian Dasheng is the monkey’s title, in the drama everyone calls him ‘the monkey’ (husun), including Guanyin, even though she is the person who gave him the names Sun Wukong and Sun Xingzhe (Acolyte). When Guanyin presents Sun Xingzhe to Tripitaka as his disciple, she gives the monkey an iron fillet, a cassock, and a knife….Even with the headband’s control, Tongtian Dasheng’s behavior and language indicate that his mind remains that of an irreverent demon.

As in the zaju theater tradition, Sun Xingzhe introduces himself to the audience with a poem at his first appearance. Vaunting his celestial birth, his power, and the troubles he could create, in colloquial expression rather than elegant traditional terms as others’ opening poems, the monkey’s poem describes himself as a celebrated ape demon, referring to himself as the King of a Hundred Thousand Demons. In the following statement he introduces himself and his four siblings as his demon family: His elder brother Quitian Dasheng, a younger brother Shuashua Sanlang, and two sisters, Lishan Laomu and Wu Zhiqi Shengmu. This genealogy of the monkey shows that Sun Xingzhe in Zaju is already much more localized, settled into the local religious/cult culture. Unlike the monkey in other versions, this one has a wife, the abducted princess of the Country of the Golden Cauldron. He also proudly reports to the audience his famous misdeeds, which is also the reason that heaven is after him: he has stolen the Jade Emperor’s celestial wine, Laozi’s golden elixir, and the Queen of the West’s (Xichi Wangmu) peaches and fairy clothes. He also makes upfront ribald references about himself in this very first speech. The monkey’s demonic heart is indicated by his intention to eat Tripitaka immediately after Tripitaka rescues him from beneath the mountain. He never shows any seriousness about his business of pilgrimage, and his behavior does not improve during the journey. When the team arrives in India, he uses crude language in a conversation with an old lady about Buddhis ideas of the ‘heart.’”

---

@journeytothewestresearch also writes that in Zaju Xiyou Ji the princess is eventually freed from her forced marriage to this monkey by Heavenly King Li Jing (Li Nezha's father) and the Bodhisattva Guanyin. Here Sun Xingzhe/Sun Wukong definitely bares more similarity to magically powerful and sexually violent monkeys in other stories from Chinese folklore! And that remains true even though the quote you provided makes it sound like he wants the princess to enjoy nice things.

So given these literary and historical circumstances, especially with Jidu, Louhou, and Yuebei Xing not appearing until the 17th century Journey to the South, it might be a stretch to say that the princess of the Country of the Golden Cauldron is a likely candidate to be their mom. This is especially true since as far as I'm aware there's no mention of Sun Xingzhe and the princess having any kids, or even of her being pregnant...ON THE OTHER HAND, it must be acknowledged that she might also be the best candidate given that no mom is mentioned in Journey to the South and that there is a historical precedent for her being Sun Wukong/Sun Xingzhe's wife for awhile. If that narrative thread is followed then it might mean Jidu, Luohou, and Yuebei Xing have more than one similarity to the children of the Yellow Robe Demon, who also kidnapped a princess and had two children with her. In that situation I'd actually hope that she isn't their mom, given that that would make Sun Wukong a rapist and them the product of a forced marriage. ON THE OTHER OTHER HAND, given that the Monkey King's characterization and many aspects of his history from Journey to the West and Journey to the South (as far as I know lmao) is so different from Sun Xingzhe's in Zaju Xiyou Ji , and that all of this comes from folkloric roots in which stories are very different from region to region and even one year to the next, I could see there being an argument made for bringing her into the more recent continuations of Xiyouji as Sun Wukong's wife and the mother of his children while the rapey aspect of the earlier version of their relationship is dropped for something more loving or at least consensual. So even with my ignorance on what precisely happens in Zaju Xiyou Ji and Journey to the South, it seems like as with Xiyouji itself there's a lot you could potentially do with "the princess of the Country of the Golden Cauldron is Jidu, Louhou, and Yuebei Xing's mother" idea, from the sweet and loving to the absolute grimdarkest context.

[children-of-the-sun-au]

Uh, okey how to divert the situation. Wukong! Hold mengtao.*gives mengtao to Wukong*

Wukong:…

Wukong: You got lucky young man…

Louhou: Phew….

[centuryberry]

Ok I gotta ask- I have read Queen Of The Mountain like 5 Times in the past 3days because of how addictive it is and i just cant get this thought to go away and i havent seen anyone else mention a scenario like this, so

How do you think the og/cannon lmk crew would react to the QOTM crew? (And vice-versa too) Like Mk and his friends meeting Yue's crew that's adventuring with her and realizing why they're so similar. The way the QOTM crew would act around Og Wukong and Macaque with them being confused and then the Og Crew getting to meet girl dad! Sun Wukong who's ripping apart reality with his bare hands with his equally as furious husband and their co parent partners beside him while being followed by DBK and PIF who are rushing for the son. I just can't get the thoughts to go away, I love love love when people make such unique Aus like this that gets my mind running!

In general, the LMK crew and the QOTM crew would be fascinated with each other. There are so many similarities and yet so many differences. The significant ones being: Yue, Louhou & Jidu, Shanzha, and RinRin.

There's a whole lot of Celestial Primate lore dump and some storytelling on the QOTM side of things and some fanboying and questioning from the LMK side. Tang is especially interested in the changes in QOTM's JTTW and its circumstances.

LMK!Wukong and LMK!Macaque wouldn't know what to do with Yue and the twins so they'd keep them at arm's length. Wukong would do his "heroic celebrity" persona and Macaque physically distance himself from all of them. Yue wouldn't take this personally, but the twins would be confused and sad.

Out of everyone, Pigsy would warm up to Girl Dad!Wukong the most. He'd exchange child-rearing stories with the monkey and actually listen to the monkey ramble about his "amazing perfect smart daughter" and his "adorable rambunctious twin sons" for hours.

LMK!Shadowpeach would be loudly disgusted by QOTM!Shadowpeach's established relationship while inwardly feeling super conflicted and somewhat envious of the family that they created. Meanwhile, QOTM!Shadowpeach would feel slightly horrified at the state of their counterpart's relationship. The worst part is that they could see how things could have played out without Yue coming into their lives and changing them for the better.

Headcanons for Sun Wukong’s children !REWRITE! (Part 1)

King Paramita

The oldest and was born immortal. This however didn’t stop him from stealing the nectar of immortality.

Enjoys sweets.

Became a general at age 15.

Retired at the age of 25 to take care of his younger siblings.

is currently the caretaker and teacher of Jidu, Louhou, and Yuebei.

Her red bracelets were gifted to her by Guanyin to help control his powers

The skull she carries is the head of Lady Bone Demon.

doesn’t really get along with their siblings very well, especially Jidu.

Usually keeps to herself to prevent conflict which leads her to respond apathetically

((Part 2 in W.I.P))

[multishippers-stuff]

this is my first post and I hope you like it

just for some context: I will be talking about wukong's 8 children plus Sun luzhen who is Sun Wukong’s spiritual descendant. In other words, also a stone monkey who just so happens to learn the secrets of immortality and causes havoc in heaven, before being tasked to protect the historical monk Dadian on a similar journey to India.

oldest to youngest: Paramita, Jidu, Louhou, Yuebei Xing, Shani, Shruka, Kasei, Xingzuo Xingxi and Luzhen.

(Only know a bit of paramita, jidu, luohou, Yuebei xing and Luzhen's personality, not much on the others though)

So anyways, this is just an AU of how macaque finds out about them and all of sun wukong's children have his powers

Now on with the story:

the siblings are in their human forms (except for paramita who just changed his eye color because he's the most human looking out of all his siblings) wandering around the market to buy groceries and peach chips for wukong while he's in FFM training mk until paramita accidentally bumps into macaque (who is also in human form), mac helps paramita up, sees the others behind him and notices how they all look like wukong, mostly.

(Note: paramita is the only one who knows about macaque and his drama with wukong in this au)

Paramita quickly gets up and excuses himself with Jidu, Louhou, Yuebei Xing, Shani, Shruka, Kasei and Xingzuo Xingxi following but then macaque sees Luzhen who looked like a carbon copy of wukong. Everyone went on with the shopping and went back to FFM once they were done. Macaque who was frozen in place gets suspicious and shadowteleports to FFM, he hides in the bushes when he finds paramita talking about him and warning his siblings not to get close to him for the whole visit. Macaque then follows them all the way to wukong's hut.

Paramita: Father, were back, here are those peach chips you asked for.

Wukong: Welcome back and thanks for getting them.

Wukong then turns around, opens the peach chip bag and starts to eat. While Mk and the others were happily conversing, paramita quickly goes on to drag Wukong away for a secret conversation, with macaque hiding in the shadows near.

Paramita: *Whispers* Father, I saw macaque earlier today in the market. I think he recognized us, considering how he froze after seeing Luzhen.

Wukong: WHAT?!

Mk and the monkey siblings immediately turning their attention to wukong

Wukong: It's okay, paramita just told me that uhh... he saw some of the monkey fighting AHAHHAHA. Nothing to see here

Wukong: (going bak to the conversation)* Whispers* Are you sure? and how do you know it was mac?

Paramita: Seriously? I have the eyes of truth and I doubt he would be dense enough to not notice the resemblance

Wukong: Were you followed?

Paramita: No, I don't think so

Mk: *Shouts* Hey Monkey king, what are you going you guys talking about?

Wukong and Paramita: Nothing, Mk

Mk: Well ok, but you better finish, especially you Paramita, you're in charge of cooking

Paramita: I know and we will

Wukong: just in case, keep your eyes peeled. He could be lurking somewhere

Part 2?

[icekingofhope]

I had decided to draw wukong kids when they become adults

Not the best designs I’ve done but I love it

[the-monkey-ruler]

Hi! I don’t know if you happen to know, but I’m trying to research Journey to the South (as I am currently reading Journey to the West) but I can’t seem to find any translations of it available to an English speaking audience. Would you happen to know of any translations?

Thank you

Funny enough I happen to know quite a bit! I helped create and edit the JTTS pdf together and it is publically available thanks to @journeytothewestresearch

Feel free to enjoy!

[artisticmoonfall]

Based on the forgotten sequel of 'A Supplement to the Journey to the West', 'Journey to the South' and ' Later Journey to the West'. The Monkey King has a total of eight children shared between two 17th-century novels, but only four are mentioned by name along with a descendant. The ones mention by name; Paramita, Jidu, Luohou, and Yuebei Xing and Luzhen. Peach Tree AU From left to right, oldest to youngest: Paramita, Jidu, Louhou, Yuebei Xing, Shani, Shruka, Kasei, Xingzuo Xingxi and Luzhen.
