Rare JTTW Puppet Play
I am proud to host a guest post by @ryin-silverfish about a rare JTTW puppet play from Quanzhou, Fujian province, China. The play is roughly from the Yuan to early-Ming period, meaning that it predates the 1592 edition of the novel. There are parallels with the finished work, pointing to a possible influence, or at the very least, they borrowed from the same source. But there are many differences as well. The most surprising for me are:
Sha Wujing is the one who transforms into a white horse.
Erlang becomes one of Tripitaka's disciples after being demoted for flirting with a heavenly maiden.
An example of modern Quanzhou string puppetry depicting a battle between Sun Wukong and Princess Iron Fan.
