猴子捞月

Monkeys are the representatives of liveliness and cleverness in the zodiac. In folk stories, there is an allusion of "monkeys fishing for the moon", which tells that a group of monkeys saw the reflection of the moon in the water and thought it was a real moon, so they reached out and fished for it, but the result was of course empty.

 

This allusion not only shows the curiosity and naughtiness of monkeys, but also implies people's yearning and pursuit of beautiful things, but it is often in vain because of improper methods.
