猴在中國傳統的十二生肖中排在第九位，它靈活、機智，討人喜歡，尤其是《西游記》中的美猴王孫悟空，它那呼風喚雨，無所不能的形象更是家喻戶曉、深入人心。自古以來，人們就把猴子視為吉祥物，由于漢字“猴”與“候”諧音，“候”為中國古代的爵位之一，所以在許多藝術品中后的形象都含有“封侯”的意思。
Monkey ranks ninth in the traditional Chinese zodiac. It is flexible, witty and likeable, especially Monkey King monkey king in Pilgrimage to the West. Its image of being powerful and omnipotent is well known and popular. Since ancient times, people have regarded monkeys as mascots. Because the Chinese characters "monkey" and "Hou" are homophonic, "Hou" is one of the ancient titles in China, so in many works of art, the post image contains the meaning of "Fenghou".
“桃” 在古代文獻和漢畫圖像中傳承著不少有關桃子的故事和神話傳說，如“二桃殺三士”、“東方朔偷桃”、“西王母蟠桃園、蟠桃會”等，特別是一部《西游記》更把桃子的神話傳播得家喻戶曉、婦孺皆知，于是桃子無可爭議地被公推為“增福添壽”的祝壽圣品。到了明清時期，“猴子抱桃”、“白猿獻桃”“仙候獻壽”等題材的文玩藝術品大量流布于當時社會的各個階層，成為人們待人接物、禮尚往來的禮品和欣賞把玩、勵志自勉的文房實用品、藝術品。
"Peach" inherits many stories and legends about peaches in ancient documents and Han painting images, such as "two peaches kill three scholars", "dongfangshuo steals peaches", "Xiwangmu pantaoyuan, pantaohui", etc., especially a "journey to the west" which spread the myth of peaches to the household, women and children. Therefore, peaches are undisputed promoted as the "blessing and longevity" blessing and longevity blessing Product. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, "monkey holding peach", "White Ape Offering peach", "immortal waiting for longevity" and other themes of literary and art works were widely distributed in all levels of the society at that time, and became the gifts for people to receive things and exchange courtesies, as well as the practical and artistic articles for people to enjoy playing and encourage themselves.
“仙猴獻壽”的傳說最早出自先秦時期，云蒙山白猿之母病重不起，白猿往孫臏桃園偷桃被捉，跪地泣告，孫臏可憐動物尚知孝母，于是贈桃放白猿歸山，猿母吃了桃后竟然病愈，白猿為報恩將洞中所藏《兵書》獻給孫臏，孫臏終成齊國一代名將。
The legend of "Xian Hou Xian Shou" originated from the pre-Qin period. The mother of white apes in Yunmeng Mountain couldn't afford to be seriously ill. White apes stole peaches from Sun Bin's peach garden and were caught. They knelt down and wept and complained. Sun Bin's poor animals still knew their filial mother. So he gave peaches to white apes and sent them back to the mountain. After eating peaches, the mother of apes recovered. In return for his kindness, white apes presented the book of war to Sun Bin, who eventually became a famous general of the state of Qi.
更為大家所熟知的版本則是出自《西游記》，仙猴所抱之桃子即是王母娘娘的蟠桃，吃一顆便能長生不老，故“仙猴獻壽”多表達祝福長壽之意。而且有關“仙猴獻壽”之外，還有仙猴騎馬，寓意“馬上封侯”；仙猴、蜜蜂和官印在一起，寓意“封侯掛印”， 此外，相傳舊時的馬廄上總要系上一只猴子，用以避邪，去溫病，守護馬匹安全，這也是西游記中孫悟空被玉帝封為弼馬溫的原因。
The more well-known version comes from journey to the West. The peaches held by the monkey are the flat peaches of the queen mother. If you eat one of them, you will live forever. Therefore, "monkey presents longevity" means to bless longevity. In addition to the immortal monkey's offering of life, there are also the immortal monkey's horse riding, which means "sealing the Marquis at once"; the immortal monkey, the bee and the official seal are together, which means "sealing the Marquis's seal". In addition, it is said that a monkey is always tied to the old stables to avoid evil spirits, go away from febrile diseases and protect the safety of horses. This is also the reason why Sun Wukong is named Bi Mawen by the Jade Emperor in the journey to the West.
