Alright, let’s talk about this 1788 Chinese zodiac thing. I don’t know much about fancy stuff, but I can tell ya what I heard from folks and what makes sense to me. You know, back in 1788, they had their own way of figuring things out, just like we do now, only different. They looked at the stars and the moon, and they had these animals, see?
So, this 1788, they say it was the year of the Monkey. Monkey year, huh? Makes you think of those little fellas jumping around, always busy, always curious. I reckon people born that year were probably a bit like that too. Always getting into something, can’t sit still for a minute. My old man used to say, “a monkey mind is a busy mind,” and I guess that’s true.
Now, what’s so special about the Monkey, you ask? Well, I heard tell they’re smart, real clever. They can figure things out quick, like how to get the best apple from the top of the tree. But they can be a bit tricky too, you gotta watch out for them. They might try to pull a fast one on ya, you know?
- Smart and quick-witted
- Always curious and active
- Can be a little bit mischievous
And what about who gets along with who? They say if you’re a Monkey, you’re good with folks born in the year of the Ox, or the Snake, or even the Dragon. Sounds about right. Oxen are strong and steady, Snakes are wise, and Dragons… well, Dragons are powerful, everyone wants to be friends with a Dragon! It’s like in the village, the strong fella always gets the most respect, ya know?
But, they also say Monkeys don’t get along so well with Tigers and Snakes. Too much fire there, I guess. Always arguing and fighting, like cats and dogs. My neighbor’s son married a Tiger girl, and let me tell you, it was fireworks all day, every day. Couldn’t agree on nothin’. So maybe there’s something to this animal stuff after all.
And what about luck? Everyone wants to know about luck. Well, I figure luck is what you make it. But they say Monkeys got their own lucky numbers and colors. I can’t remember them all, but I think red is lucky for them. Red is good, like a lucky firecracker on New Year’s. Makes sense. Everyone likes a bit of red to brighten things up, especially in the dull winter months.
Now, if you’re trying to figure out your own animal, or your kids’, or your grandkids’, you gotta look at the year they were born. It’s all tied to the moon and the stars, like I said. There are 12 animals in all: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. They go round and round, year after year. It’s like planting crops; you gotta wait your turn.
And each animal has its own personality, its own strengths and weaknesses. Some are hard workers, some are thinkers, some are leaders. Just like people, I guess. We’re all different, but we all gotta live together in this world, ain’t that the truth? Even the no-good lazy folks have their place, I suppose.
So, if you were born in 1788, you’re a Monkey. And that means you’re probably pretty clever, always on the go, and maybe a little bit mischievous. But don’t let that go to your head. Remember, it’s not just about what animal you are, it’s about how you treat people and how you live your life. Be good, work hard, and maybe a little luck will come your way. That’s what I always say.
Anyways, that’s my two cents on this whole 1788 Monkey business. Take it or leave it, it ain’t gospel, just what I’ve heard and what seems right to me.
Chinese zodiac is just a fun thing to think about, ain’t nothin’ to lose sleep over. Just live your life the best you can, that’s all that matters.
