Sun Wukong, the Bodhi Patriarch in the first chapter of "Journey to the West" took it, and the traveler took it from Tang Monk in the 14th chapter:
The Patriarch smiled and said: "Although your body is humble, But it's like a pine cone-eating monkey. I gave you a surname, meaning "猢". Yin cannot be transformed into nurturing, so it would be better to give you the surname "狲". The word "狲" is removed from the word "Zi", which means "child". "When the monkey king heard about it, he was filled with joy and kowtowed: "Okay, okay, okay! Now I know my surname. Master Wanwang is merciful. Since he has a surname, it's easy to give him a name," said the Patriarch. : "There are twelve characters in my sect, and they are assigned names. You will be the tenth generation's disciple." The Monkey King said: "Those twelve characters?" The Patriarch said: "They are the vast wisdom, true nature, ocean, Yingwuyuan." The twelve characters of "Enlightenment" are ranked as "Enlightenment". How about I call you Sun Wukong? It is: Hongmeng first established the original namelessness, and it took Wukong to break the stubbornness.
"Disciple, what is your surname?" The Monkey King said: "My surname is Sun." Sanzang said: "I gave you a Dharma name, but it is easy to call." The Monkey King said: "Without the kindness of Master. "My original Dharma name is Sun Wukong." Sanzang said happily: "It fits our sect. You look like that little Toutuo, so I'll give you a mixed name, okay?" ?" Wukong said: "Okay! Okay!" From now on, he is also called Sun Xingzhe.
