Traditional character
Monkey people are quick, full of ideas and fun to be with. In tradition 'monkey' sounds like 'noble rank', and the picture of a monkey on horseback wishes a rise in office.
In company, Monkey people liven the mood and pick up new things remarkably fast.
Customs and getting along
The Monkey King of Journey to the West is loved by all; in Monkey years, monkey paper-cuts and New Year ornaments are especially popular.
With Monkey people, puzzling things out together is the best fun; once the direction is set, leave the playing to them.
