Usually, there are three monkeys in a set, and each monkey has a different shape: one hand covers his eyes, one hand covers his mouth, and the other hand covers his ears.

It is said that this statement originated from the ancient East, which means "admonishing people with monkeys". Nowadays, people seldom use this interesting monkey statue as home decoration, so this sentence is shrouded in mystery in people's eyes.
