The first cultural reference that I am associated with is the Sun Wu Kong festival. This festival that is just for me takes place on the sixteenth day of the eighth lunar month of the Chinese lunar calender. At this festival some things that may go on are the burning of paper and incense as offerings just for me. There might also be a recreation of the battle that I had between the gods in heaven. Another reference to me in the human world is the Buddhist temple in Xiumaoping, Hong Kong, which is a shrine that has been dedicated to me. Lastly, I have been used in many films and television shows. The last film that I was depicted in was a show called Forbidden Kingdom.
