The Origin of "Year of the Monkey and Year of the Moon"

One argument is that the word "monkey" should be "donkey", and "Year of the Monkey and Horse Month" refers to an unknown year, that is, things are far away and cannot be realized, and there are no donkeys in the zodiac, so it is also called "Year of the Monkey and Horse Month". Some experts also believe that the meaning of this word mostly comes from the spread of dialects, and it is a variant of the homonym "when it is the moon".

"Year of the Monkey" refers to the fifth lunar month of the Year of the Monkey, which only happens once every twelve years.
