What is the first sentence of a monkey when he is king?

The saying that monkeys rule Wang Qian is that there are no tigers in the mountains. Cyclops is king among the blind.

This idiom comes from a folk story. The original sentence is: there is no tiger in the mountain, and the monkey is called the king.

The content of the story is roughly that the tiger is the king of the forest in the mountains, while the monkey is a second-rate figure with some ability. But when the tiger was not in the mountains, the monkey became king with his strategy. It means that when the real power is absent, some small people or low-level people begin to pretend to be in power, which is mostly derogatory and ironic. When the strongest is absent, it is the incompetent guy's turn to become an important position. Modern times are used to describe a person who is overreaching and arrogant.
