The Monkey King Festival () is celebrated in China on the 16th day of the eighth Lunar month of the Chinese calendar, corresponding to September according to the Common era calendar, a day after the Mid Autumn Festival.
 The origin of the festival is traced to an epic novel titled "Journey to the West" (Xiyou Ji, 西游记) written by the Chinese novelist Wu Cheng'en (1500–1582) in the 16th century during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644).

A Maggot (1985) is a novel by British author John Fowles.
 It is Fowles' sixth major novel, following "The Collector, The Magus, The French Lieutenant's Woman, Daniel Martin," and "Mantissa."
 Its title, as the author explains in the prologue, is taken from the archaic sense of the word that means "whim", "quirk", "obsession", or even a snatch of music (see earworm).
 Another meaning of the word "maggot" becomes apparent later in the novel, used by a character to describe a white, oblong machine that appears to be a spacecraft.
 Though the author denied that "A Maggot" is a historical novel, it does take place during a precise historical timeframe, May 1736 to February 1737, in England.
 It might be variously classified as historical fiction, mystery, or science fiction.
 Because of the narrative style and various metafictional devices, most critics classify it as a postmodern novel.
