What does it mean for Kirin to die in the Book of Changes?

China people call Kirin, dragon and phoenix and tortoise "Four Spirits", and Kirin is the first of the "Four Spirits".

Kirin's giving away children is a way of blessing in ancient China. Legend has it that Kirin is a kind beast, a symbol of good luck and can bring children to people. Chong Wang is on the balance. It is described in Ding Xian that before Confucius was born, Kirin spit jade books in his home. This allusion became the source of "Kirin sends a son".

According to legend, Congo, the father of Confucius, and Yan Zheng, the mother of Confucius, were just boys, but they suffered from foot disease and could not be sacrificed. The couple felt very sorry. They prayed together in Nishan. One night, suddenly a unicorn wandered into the que. Kirin spit out a piece of silk book from his mouth, which read: "Descendants of water sprite, who have been in decline for a long time, seek wisdom." The next day, Kirin disappeared, and there was a loud baby crying from Kongge's house. In fact, the popular picture of "Kirin sending a child" is a portrayal of the folk custom of praying for Lin to send a child. According to this legend, there is also a picture of "Kirin spitting books", which is mostly used for the decoration of Confucian temples and learning palaces, meaning that auspicious signs are sent to prison and sages are born.

In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, people often called smart and lovely boys "my Kirin". Since then, there has been a work of "Kirin sends pictures", which is engraved with the couplet "Kirin in the sky, the champion on the ground". It is an auspicious pattern deeply loved by people, especially in the late Qing Dynasty.

So there was a son sent by Kirin to die.
