Do people worship sun wukong

Answer 1

Although Sun Wukong was just a character in a Chinese novel, there is a holiday centered around him, and includes offering to him, so some people might. Depends on how you define "worship" Some people "worship" celebrities.

Second answer

There was a monkey cult in southern China during the 13th- or 14th-century. This was prior to the anonymous publishing of Journey to the West in 1592, but stories of the Monkey King were popular during this time. This doesn't necessarily mean they were worshiping particularly him, though. For more on this, see the paper "Indigenous or Foreign?: A Look at the Origins of the Monkey Hero Sun Wukong" (1998) by Hera S. Walker. A modern day example comes from Singapore. One tree was constantly hit by cars located next to a busy street. This caused a monkey-shaped calus to form under the park. Once the bark was stripped away (thanks to another crash) people began to leave offerings of bananas and incense sticks because they felt it was Sun Wukong.
