In the seventeenth century, monkeys were often infested at the bridgehead of Heidelberg, and they kept saying hello to passers-by like their masters. A poet wrote the poem when he saw the scene. Later, according to the story of the monkey, the bronze monkey sculpture was erected at the old bridge in Heidelberg, and the sculptor carved the poem next to it. It is said that touching the fingers of the copper monkey will return to Heidelberg, touching the mirror in his hand will bring wealth, and touching the mouse next to it will give birth to more children.

    This copper monkey in Heidelberg is very famous and is said to be a red punching point. The monkey's shape is very strange, if the tour guide does not say, I have not seen him as a monkey. The monkey has a round mirror in his hand, and there are two small mice at the monkey's feet. Everyone who travels to Heidelberg touches the bronze monkey, so he becomes very bright. Next to the bronze monkey is a statue of the Elector.

    Touching the bronze monkey on the old bridge in Heidelberg, it is said that the monkey symbolizes ugly shamelessness, the mirror represents vanity, the right hand stretched out finger pointed at the other side, is a mockery of the other side. Admonish people not to be arrogant, everyone has an ugly side.

    It means good luck and that you will return to Heidelberg if you touch the Monkey, so be sure to do it. It’s also right next to the iconic bridge that gives you a great view of the castle. There’s also a ton of traditional German restaurants and even a good Korean and Thai place really close.#mytrip #tripvlog #mytripvlog #wecreat #heidelberg #vacation #travel #awesomepic

    Europe, Germany. Heidelberg (III). Copper monkey. In front of the old bridge, holding a mirror in one hand, surrounded by mice, it is said that touching the mirror can bring fortune. Copper monkey pedestal engraved a poem: Why are you looking at me? Have you not seen the old monkey? You'll be sure to see my kind when you're going around Heidelberg.

    铜猴是海德堡最著名的雕塑,座落在老桥的桥头。其实我觉得这是只狒狒,造型有点诡异,据说铜猴是有传说的,大概就是它通过敲打手上的铜锣吓退了进犯海德堡的军队,人们为了感谢它铸造了这个铜猴。
