The play derived from the Chinese classical novel Journey to the West, centering on a mythological figure named Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King.

Sun Wukong is a monkey born from a stone who then obtains supernatural powers through Taoist practices. After rebelling against the gods and being jailed under a mountain by the Buddha, he is later sent to protect Xuanzang the monk on a pilgrimage for Buddhist scriptures.
