The historical background to the novel is asfol 2: In the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, a Buddhist monk named Xuanzang(602664)traveled alone through Central Asia to the land of Tianzhu(present-day India)to seek original Buddhi

34、st scriptures. The journey covered thousands of miles and took 17 years, and Xuanzang passed through 138 states, writing a brilliant page not only in the history of Buddhist culture but also in the history of Sino- 3cultural exchange.
