Journey to the West was a classic ancient Chinese novel. There was a reason why it mentioned the two names of "Xianyue Sanxing Cave" and "Bodhi Ancestor" at the beginning. The Crescent Three Stars Cave was a mysterious cave mentioned in the novel. It was said that an immortal, the Three Stars Lord, lived in it. In the novel, Sanxing Jun was a very important character. He not only played a key role in the plot, but also represented different meanings. For example, in the third chapter, Sanxing Jun reminded Tang Sanzang to avoid a steep mountain peak on his way to learn the scriptures. This mountain peak was called "Sanxing Dui", which meant steepness, difficulty and danger. Patriarch Bodhi was another mysterious character in the novel. His identity had always been controversial. However, judging from the plot of the novel, Patriarch Bodhi played an important role. He not only taught Sun Wukong and the other protagonists martial arts and Taoist skills, but also helped them find a real way out. Therefore, in the novel, Patriarch Bodhi represented the importance of wisdom and cultivation. His appearance also added more meaning and depth to the whole story. The Slanted Moon, Three Stars Cave and Bodhi Patriarch played a very important role in the novel. They not only injected mysterious and magical elements into the story, but also promoted the development of the story and the shaping of the characters 'personalities.
