Monkeys, particularly macaques and gibbons, have played significant roles in Chinese culture for over two thousand years. Some examples familiar to English speakers include the zodiacal Year of the Monkey, the Monkey King Sun Wukong in the novel Journey to the West, and Monkey Kung Fu.

The gibbons’ role in Chinese art and literature was so important, that the genre also spread to Japan and Korea, although neither country ever belonged to the gibbons’ habitat. The history of gibbon paintings has only rarely been studied.
