The Chinese have traditionally regarded the white-haired monkey as an auspicious symbol. For instance, Lan Shih-ning, the famous artist of the Ching dynasty depicted such a creature to exemplify purity and nobility in a painting entitled "A Hundred Generations of Feudal Lords."
中國人一直把毛色純白的猴子當作祥瑞的象徵，像清代畫家郎世寧在「百代封侯」的吉祥畫裡，便把猴子畫成渾身雪白，以顯示它的純潔、精靈與高貴。
