Title Sun Wukong demanded from the Jade Emperor after feeling the rank he was first given (
弼马温, keeper of the heavenly horses) was beneath him. Literally 'Sage on par with Heaven.' Triggers the episode of
大闹天宫 (Havoc in Heaven), arguably the single most famous scene in all Chinese popular mythology, adapted into films, operas, animations, and games from 1961 onward.
