《西游记》中孙悟空形象包含了作者对社会与人生多重文化背景下的探索与追求,因此,要正确把握这一形象,就必须多层面、全方位地进行研究。从作者所处时代的文化特质来看,孙悟空实际上是封建时代事功型的斗士形象;从民族文化的高度看,这一形象体现出强烈的抗争与进取精神;从人类普遍精神的高度看,这一形象体现了人类共同的自由精神、秩序精神和为人类群体奋斗的精神。其形象的基本内核,便是为造福人类的事业而奋斗的抗争与进取精神。其中困扰着研究者的大闹天宫与西天取经的矛盾,是人类自由精神和秩序精神矛盾统一的具体体现。

If we observe from the cultural characteristic of writer's age,Sun Wukong is a fighter pursuing achievements in feudal society. From the national culture, he incarnates strong combative and enterprising spirit. From the man-kind's universal spirit, he reflects their common spirits of freedom, order and striving for themselves. In short, the fundamental sole of Su Wukong is the combative and enterprising spirit. The contradiction, his action between making trouble in the heavenly palace and seeking Buddhist Scripture, gives expression to the contradiction between the spirit of freedom and order.
