According to Li Changqing in Ming Dynasty, the twelve earthly branches are related to the characters of twelve animals. His explanation of applying for a monkey in the Seven Manuscripts is that "it is a pity to apply for a monkey as a three-yin, but it is a pity to be negative, and the monkey is matched with it, and the monkey's nature is also a pity". He believes that the monkey's clever and cunning character makes it the zodiac at sunset and at "Sanyin".
