However, I feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn

The idiom "However, I feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn" comes from the untitled complete poems of Li Yishan. Li Shangyin, whose real name is Mountain, is a star in the poetry circle in the late Tang Dynasty, and also an influential poet in later generations. Li Shangyin 17 years old began to be an aide, and became a scholar at the age of 25. However, his career was bumpy all his life. He lived under the fence for most of his life and never held an important official position. He had political ambitions when he was young. But because "luck goes against his will", he wrote many poems to express his inner anguish in twists and turns. Li Shangyin's untitled poems have been widely circulated and exerted great influence in the history of China literature.

In 842 AD (the second year of Tang Wuzong Huichang), Li Shangyin wrote a poem "Untitled" on the secretariat of history. There are two sentences like this: "Although my body does not have bright phoenix wings, I feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn." Literally, these two poems mean: we don't have the wings of a phoenix, and we can't fly far away together; We only have a heart like a rhinoceros horn, and we are each other's soul mates through that extremely thin white line. It is said that rhinoceros is a supernatural beast, and its horn has a white stripe from the corner to the brain, so it is called Linxi. Later, people quoted the idiom "However, I feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn" as a metaphor for mutual sympathy.
