After Wu Cheng'en, The Journey to the West had a number of abridged editions and sequels, for example, *Xu Xiyouji*, *Xiyou Bu* and *Hou Xiyouji*. Its stories had, have and will continue to have a strong impact on Chinese drama, painting, sculpture, film, TV and other fields. This indicates that the story of Xuanzang is well-known in China, and Buddhism and India are topics of popular interest.
