Is King Yu Zhou a monkey or an elephant? How did Wang Yu get his name?

According to historical records, King Yu Yi was a kind of monkey. Yu Wang's name comes from ancient books, among which? Hey? And then what? Velvet? It has been recorded, and its appearance is consistent with that of The Journey to the West.

King Yu Zhou is a figure in The Journey to the West. He worships the Monkey King, the Great Sage of the Monkey. In those days, the Monkey King visited all the demons in Huaguoshan and worshipped seven of them, including the famous Niu Wangmo. King Yu Zhou is one of them, ranking sixth, and is known as the Great Sage of Exorcism.

According to historical data, Yu Xie should refer to the golden monkey we are talking about now. Yu Yi is recorded in Shuo Wen, Shan Hai Jing and Compendium of Materia Medica. In modern Chinese, it means that Yu Yi's figure is similar to that of a macaque, with red eyes, long tail, soft long hair and golden yellow all over. King Yu Yi is also the king of Yu Yi.

In The Journey to the West's original text, there are few descriptions about King Yu Zhou, but the title of "exorcist" is also true. It is very powerful, and it can show its face, even the gods dare not approach him easily. Moreover, it is surprising that the evil in Historical Records is female. Being intimate with the Monkey King shows that his mana should be very high. On the journey to the West, he didn't meet King Yu Zhou, but several other great sages showed that King Yu Zhou was really mysterious.

The rumor that King Yu Zhou was an elephant originated from an online novel "The Lion Camel Country", which wrote a chapter about the journey to the West that passed through the Lion Camel Ridge. However, the three brothers of the Lion Camel Ridge were written as three of the Seven Saints at that time, but in fact, this is contrary to the original Journey to the West and can be easily overturned, which shows that it is indeed a rumor.
