02 / The story of the year

Zodiac animal: Monkey · 猴

Stem & branch: 丙申 · bǐng-shēn
Lunar year length: 354 days

Monkey personality in tradition

The Monkey is often associated with cleverness and playfulness, familiar qualities in Chinese storytelling.

The phrase “curious & inventive” describes a traditional association with this animal, rather than a rule about everyone born in 2076. The year element is one part of the calendar; it does not establish a person's complete five-elements or Bāzì chart.

我属猴。

Wǒ shǔ hóu. “I was born in the Year of the Monkey.”

Monkey compatibility in folklore

Monkey, Rat and Dragon form a traditional harmony group of three. Tiger sits opposite Monkey, six places away in the twelve-animal cycle. These describe symbolic positions, not evidence of who will make a good partner.
