4. The origin of the Year of the Monkey: One argument is that the word "monkey" should have been "donkey", and the year of the donkey is used to refer to an unknown year, that is, things are far away and cannot be realized, so there is no donkey in the zodiac, so it is also called "Year of the Monkey"; 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". The Year of the Monkey refers to the fifth lunar month of the Year of the Monkey, which only happens once every twelve years.
