The Birth of Sun Wukong (Monkey King)
《西游记》开篇：花果山仙石孕育石猴，石猴寻访菩提祖师，得名孙悟空，学七十二变与筋斗云。他大闹天宫，后被压五行山下，再随唐僧取经。石猴出世是全球读者检索「Monkey King / Sun Wukong」的入口故事，宜作为中国奇幻叙事的第一课。
Journey to the West opens with a stone monkey born from a magical rock on Flower-Fruit Mountain. Seeking a master, he becomes Sun Wukong, learns seventy-two transformations and the cloud somersault, storms Heaven, and is later pinned under a mountain—until he escorts the monk Tripitaka on the scripture pilgrimage. For English readers searching “Monkey King” or “Sun Wukong origin,” this is the gateway myth of Chinese fantasy: rebellion, skill, and a long road toward discipline and compassion. The tale is literary (Ming novel) layered on older folklore; teach it as story-world, not history.
悟空出世：石卵迸裂——不受谱系约束的生命力闯入秩序。后文大闹是能量与规矩的长期谈判。野性要有规矩，规矩也要容得下生命力。今日：组织里的「石猴」需要引导，不是立刻钉死；也不是放任成灾。
Wukong born of stone: life unbound by pedigree bursts into order. Later havoc is a long negotiation between energy and rule. Today: an org’s “stone monkey” needs guidance—not instant nails, not free rein to catastrophe.
After the moral, ask one question: if a similar choice showed up today, where does the story snag? Name that tension first—then take your own step. You need not copy the ancients, only borrow their clarity.
