And it has been refined into fiery eyes, and many characteristics are consistent with macaques. It's just that Sun Wukong is less than four feet tall, and four feet in the Tang Dynasty is about the same as now, that is, about one meter four. And an adult male macaque is 64 centimeters tall, so it is almost tall enough.

Author in Journey to the West.

In this work, four special monkeys are mentioned, and the remaining three are described in detail, but the Lingming stone monkey is not stated. This shows that the author tacitly acknowledges that Sun Dasheng Ye is the Lingming Stone Monkey, but this is also controversial.

Sun Wuchun Liangkong may be a macaque, and there is also a possibility that Sun Wukong is a Lingming stone monkey.

Some people think that Sun Wukong is very likely to be a macaque, because in "The Poetry of the Three Tibetan Scriptures of the Tang Dynasty", Sun Wukong's self-proclaimed name is: "Huaguo Mountain Ziyun Cave 84,000 copper-headed iron-fronted macaque king", which should be the same species as the six-eared macaque. Sun Wukong's appearance seems to be somewhat similar to macaques, Sun Wukong "round eyes, check ears, full of hair, thunder mouth, thin face, sharp mouth and shrunken cheeks, body like a pine-cone eating monkey chop quietly wide, although like a human, but less gills than people."

All these factors indicate that Sun Wukong is likely to be a macaque.

In the original work of "Journey to the West", there is not only Sun Wukong, but also four spirit monkeys, namely Lingming stone monkey, Akajiri horse monkey, gibbon monkey and six-eared macaque, among which Lingming stone monkey is a stone monkey like Sun Wukong, so Sun Wukong may also be a Lingming stone monkey.
