《西遊記》歷來多從宗教、神魔、思想或人物形象等角度加以詮釋，然食色書寫與身體修煉之間的內在關聯仍有進一步探討空間。本文以《西遊記》為研究對象，結合文本細讀、符號學、身體文化、傅柯權力理論等觀點，探討飲食、色慾、身體、修行與制度之間的互動關係。全文分別論述取經路上的飲食文化、宴席書寫、唐僧肉、比丘國小兒心肝入藥、八戒色欲、取經身體的重構，以及神佛監察與災難制度等議題，指出《西遊記》中的食與色並非單純的感官欲望，而是推動修行、考驗心性、重塑身體與建構秩序的重要機制。本文認為，《西遊記》的西行之路既是外在取經之旅，也是身心重構與欲望治理的內在修煉歷程，藉此重新闡釋小說的文化意涵與思想價值。;Journey to the West has traditionally been interpreted from the perspectives of religion， mythology， philosophy， and characterization. However， the intrinsic relationship between representations of food and desire and the cultivation of the body remains an area that merits further investigation. Taking Journey to the West as its primary subject， this study employs close textual analysis in conjunction with semiotics， body studies， and Michel Foucault′s theory of power to examine the interactions among food， sexuality， the body， spiritual cultivation， and institutional order. The dissertation explores dietary culture along the pilgrimage， banquet narratives， Tang Monk′s flesh， the episode of children′s hearts used as medicine in the Kingdom of Biqiu， Zhu Bajie′s sensual desire， the reconstruction of the pilgrims′ bodies， and the systems of divine surveillance and institutionalized ordeals. It argues that food and sexuality in Journey to the West are not merely expressions of sensual desire but constitute essential mechanisms for spiritual cultivation， moral testing， bodily transformation， and the construction of order. This study concludes that the journey to the Western Heaven is not only an external pilgrimage but also an internal process of bodily reconstruction and the governance of desire， thereby offering a renewed interpretation of the novel′s cultural significance and intellectual value.
