Description In one of the four classic Chinese works, "Journey to the West", the "Tang Monk" who went to the West to seek scriptures was originally reincarnated by the second disciple of Buddha Shakyamuni, "Jinchanzi" (also known as Jinchan Elder). Tang Sanzang was reincarnated from Jinchanzi Zhenling to the Eastern Tang Dynasty monk, symbolizing the "golden cicada shedding its shell". Therefore, people regarded the cicada transformed from a shell as a symbol of longevity and regeneration, Therefore, there is also a saying in "Journey to the West" that eating "Tang monk meat" can lead to immortality.
