Chinese culture and tradition have always held the monkey in very high esteem. It has far-reaching influence on Chinas way of life, even going as far as being the foundation for one of the most dangerous fighting styles to be invented by the nation. The monkey continues to be a symbol of peace and wisdom, often revered by Chinese culture for its human characteristics and respected as a very smart animal. For those born under the year of the monkey, you are regarded as lucky, wise, and active. This is because according to the Lunar Calendar, each of these 12 animals has a profound influence over those born under its year of celebration.
