Our Monkey King is Buddhist, yours is Hinduist. His name is 悟空, means "comprehend empty". Before he become a Buddhist, he was a wild monkey, like to destroy rules.



eh, what it means? I don't know, it's a tradition come down generations to generations, may show the respects or appreciations to our familiar animals . What Capricorn means, by the way?
My Monkey King like you.

Mountain goat. Climbs near vertical walls, which translates into human personality as extremely ambitious and goal oriented....from personal experience, quite a bit of control freaks.

Related species-not photoshop....they go to lick salt of a dam in Italy, just as a demonstration of climbing skills. The larger can climb something like this too.

Those wild monkeys are very annoying, be careful, they would rob your handbags, camera, bottle water etc.

 

[Ramesh N]

Any particular reason to name the year on animals in China ?

They have already done that to me. They took away my handbag and grabbed all my food and drinks. But thankfully, they left my handbag!

Do you really have interests knowing the reason? It would take a while to describe the tradition.

 

[AViet]

Please refer to it as "East Asian lunar new year". The Gregorian calendar must originate from somewhere, but today we call it "western new year", or "solar new year" not "Roman new year" or "Greek New year".

The lunar new year festival have been celebrated in East Asian countries for ancient times. It is so silly if people still call it "China new year".

Yes. Even a link to an article should be fine.
