A monkey illustration of the Chinese Zodiac

Monkey is the ninth in the 12-year cycle of Chinese zodiac.
It is a clever animal. During the Spring and Autumn Period (770 - 476 BC), the dignified Chinese official title of marquis was pronounced 'Hou', the same as the pronunciation of ‘monkey’ in Chinese. The animal was thereby bestowed with an auspicious meaning.
