The film is based on the biography of Xuanzang. It depicts the legendary experiences of Xuanzang, who traveled to ancient India and brought back the original Buddhist scriptures to Tang Dynasty China. It also reflects the greater Buddhist spirit through the spirit of Xuanzang. The narrative of the film sets a realistic tone, but also involves legendary and magical elements, through which the film brings sublime religious belief into the real story and helps audiences to understand Xuanzang's pursuit of the profound meaning of Buddhism.
