There is a jade pendant with a picture of a monkey riding on the back of an elephant. What does this mean?

Seal the Hou (monkey) to worship the elephant.

"Worship the marquis" means to worship the marquis or be appointed as prime minister. Generally, it means distinguished fame, outstanding political achievements, lofty title and smooth promotion.

From Yuan Yiming's "Appreciating Chrysanthemums in Dongli": "I want to take a tour, but he is a drinker, drinking lightly, taking his peers and worshipping."

I can only stay here and swim back to play, but he goes to drink royal gifts, sing songs, wear brocade and silk, hold weapons and stand on high.

Extended data:

Hou was the title of China in ancient times, and Marquis was a "super product", meaning more than one product. Princes and princes are collectively referred to as princes. It is the highest title in level 20, and was granted a fief.

Marquis only granted kingship and a few meritorious deeds. Influenced by China, some neighboring countries also take this as a topic. The real vassal (or vassal) refers to the monarch of the vassal state or the warlord of the armed separatist party who supports the central rule of the empire and holds the military and political power alone.

A vassal must have his own army and territory and run his own independent kingdom. This is essentially different from those governors who only have titles and no military and political control, but only regional military and political chiefs who have temporary management rights.
