Monkey 猴

The Monkey is invention: wit, adaptability and a talent for finding a way around a locked door.

The Monkey is the cycle's inventor: curious, quick and resourceful. It reads as adaptability, humour and an instinct for finding the route nobody else noticed.

The shadow is cleverness without commitment: the Monkey can improvise forever and ship nothing. The useful reading is invention — the chart shows whether it becomes innovation or trickery.
