Classical Chinese writing about Kirin

1. The origin of ancient Chinese Kirin is a traditional auspicious beast in ancient Chinese Han myths and legends, with a gentle temperament and a legendary life span of more than 2,000 years. The ancients believed that wherever Kirin haunts, there must be auspicious signs. Sometimes it is used to describe people with outstanding talents and both ability and political integrity. Everyone calls Kirin, Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu the five great beasts. Actually, it's not Kirin, it's Huanglong.

The ancients called men Qi and women Lin. Kirin, an ancient benevolent beast, is an auspicious treasure, which combines a dragon's head, antlers, lion's eyes, tiger's back, bear's waist, snake scales, horseshoes and oxtail. Since ancient times, it has been used as a palace decoration to enhance the official prestige, and it is also a symbol of the powerful.

The ancients believed that the dragon represented God, Heaven, Emperor and courtship, so the dragon was gradually monopolized by the royal family. Phoenix also means wisdom, training and ambition. Therefore, people regard Kirin and Xuanwu as their mascots and spread them widely.

Basic information

2. Is the description of Kirin in the ancient prose "Delinger" by Han Yu true?

Lin is very clever, and this is also very clear. There is singing in the poem and writing in the Spring and Autumn Period, which is a biography of miscellaneous notes, although both women and boys know it is auspicious. However, the forest is a thing. If you don't keep livestock at home, you are always out of the world. Their shapes are different, but they are like horses, cows, dogs, jackals and elk. However, although there is a forest, I don't know if it is a forest. I know that horns are cows, dogs are horses, dogs are jackals and elk, and dogs are jackals and elk. Only Lin is still there, which is unknown. Unknown, it is appropriate to call it ominous. Although, out of the forest, there must be saints who care about the position. Lin is a saint. A saint must know the forest, and the fruit of the forest is not ominous. He also said, "The reason why Lin is a forest is virtue, not form." It is also appropriate to call it ominous if you don't wait for a saint.

4. Some novels about Kirin are animals created by combining thoughts according to the way of thinking of China people.

Judging from its external shape, it is characterized by moose body, oxtail, horseshoe shape (called "wolf's hoof" in history books), fish scale skin, horns with meat at the corners and yellow. This model is a new combination after dismembering many real animals. It concentrates all the advantages of these precious animals on Kirin, a fictional god beast, which fully embodies the concept of "Jimei" of China people.

Kirin is an auspicious animal. It is peaceful and long-lived. Deer itself is an animal trainer, strong and good at running, which is of great benefit to people.

The legendary special god of Bailuyuan. There is a folk saying that Kirin sends children.

Kirin is mainly deer, which has the characteristics of cattle, sheep and horses. Its comprehensive aspects are not as extensive as those of Longfeng, but its reputation is not small.

The study of Kirin is not as popular as that of Longfeng culture. It is not clear who its original author is and where it came from. Some scholars speculate that it may be the ancestor of Zhou people, because Zhou people originally lived in the northwest, when the northwest was rich in aquatic plants and suitable for the growth of deer. In slave society and feudal society, the dragon and phoenix were seized by the supreme ruler, losing the original meaning of totem synthesis and becoming the symbol of the emperor and queen of the supreme ruler.

Kirin, with good nature, has been squeezed into the people in the power competition, and the people expect it to bring good years, good fortune, long life and beauty. 14 19, Zheng He returned to Nanjing with a giraffe presented by King Marin.

Because the giraffe looks like a unicorn, which is an auspicious thing in China folklore, and the people of China knew little about giraffes at that time, everyone agreed that the giraffe given by King Marin was a unicorn. Lin is also used as the official costume of the imperial court.

The boudoir emblem of Yipin Guan in Qing Dynasty is decorated with Kirin, which shows that its position is second only to that of dragon. In the Qing dynasty, only the royal family and relatives were qualified to wear the dragon symbol. The emperor is Huanglong and Zilong, and the prince, elder brother, Baylor and Beizi are dragon patterns. 1, Kirin is a mythical animal in legend and may not exist in real life; Kirin is second only to dragon in all animals. In the ancient legend of China, Kirin, dragon and phoenix, and tortoise were combined into four spirits, and they were the king of the hairy beast. Kirin is a godsend of ordinary people.

There is a folk saying that "Kirin sent the son", saying that Confucius was sent by Kirin; Kirin is produced by scattered stars, so the main auspicious animal is one of the most famous auspicious animals. Kirin contains benevolence and righteousness. In the ancient culture of China, there are many legends about the rise and fall of emperors and Kirin. Kirin, like phoenix, is hermaphrodite and Qi is male.

The forest is female, and the moose's body, oxtail, fish scales and feet are even-hoofed (but there is also the saying that Kirin has five toes). She has a horn on her head and meat on it. 6. Kirin was a common mascot in ancient China. Historically, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built the Qilin Pavilion in Weiyang Palace, painted heroic images as a reward, and showed the world his love for talents. 7. Kirin is also widely used in official clothes.

The boudoir emblem of Yipin Guan in Qing Dynasty is decorated with Kirin, which shows that its position is second only to that of dragon. In the Qing dynasty, only the royal family and relatives were qualified to wear the dragon symbol. The emperor is Huanglong and Zilong, and the prince, elder brother, Baylor and Beizi are dragon patterns. 8. Kirin may be a giraffe? In the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He brought back giraffes from Africa after returning from the Western Ocean. At that time, the Ming people had never seen such a large animal that only produced in savanna, and thought it was a unicorn! This is why the friends above say that Kirin is a giraffe! 9. Kirin is also found in the western world, but it looks like a horse with long horns. In the Old Testament, unicorns are often mentioned in Hebrew legends. Many people have seen the famous Japanese cartoon "Saint saint seiya", in which there is a bronze warrior who looks like the guardian warrior Saint saint seiya of Tianma constellation and has similar armor, that is, the Kirin constellation.

10, you can still see the image of Kirin. At present, the most famous unicorn image in China is the unicorn in the tomb of Nanjing Southern Dynasties. There are many kinds of god beasts guarding Xiangrui in the tombs of the Southern Dynasties, but they all evolved from the image of unicorns. Outside the Zhongshan Gate in Nanjing, there is a sculpture, which is a symbol of Nanjing and is based on the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Southern Dynasties outside Nanjing.

This sculpture is luxuriantly decorated, and its body tends to the image of liger. It is carved from huge stones, and its height is about 3 meters. The sculpture has a chest and a waist, the eyes are really open, the neck is short and wide, and the animal body decoration is very decorative, with a strong sense of body and thick. On the basis of attaching importance to the whole sense, it pays more attention to exaggeration and deformation, making it look magnificent and lively. Kirin gave birth to the ancient fertility folk custom in China.

A way to pray for children. According to legend, Kirin is a kind beast, a symbol of good luck and can bring children to people.

According to legend, on the eve of Confucius' birth, a unicorn spat a jade book at his home, which said "the watery son is the king of decline", meaning that he has the virtue of an emperor and does not occupy his position. Although it is said in latitude, it is actually the basis of "Kirin sending a child", which is contained in Wang Chong's Lun Heng Ding Xian and Jia's Notes on Picking Up the Legacy.

Folks have the reputation of "son of Kirin" and "son of forest". In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, people often called smart and lovely boys "my Kirin".

Since then, "Kirin has sent pictures." As a woodcut, it is a good omen to engrave the couplet "Kirin in the sky, Lang on the ground as the champion".

It is generally believed that worshipping Kirin can give birth to children. Tang Du Fu's Song of Summer Xu's Two Sons: "Don't you see Summer Xu's two sons?"

Inducing auspicious dreams followed. Confucius gave Shi a kiss. It is not a unicorn in the sky. "

Hu Pu 'an's Records of China Ethnic Customs. "Hunan" quoted "Changzhi New Age Folk Poetry": "It is also strange for a woman to be surrounded by dragons. A real dragon is not as good as a paper dragon, but it can send a child to the forest. "

Original note: "If a woman is barren for many years, every time a dragon lantern comes home, she will be given a seal instrument to surround her with a dragon body once, and the dragon body will be shortened and she will ride around the hall once, which is called the gift of Qi Lin." According to Lin Qiqi, it belongs to the dragon, that is, the person who replaces Qijia with the dragon lantern.

5. The description of Kirin in the novel Kirin.

In the Yellow Sea, there are creatures that are not bound by common sense, such as monsters and demons, but Kirin is different from these. Kirin is the only twelve animals in the world created by the Emperor of Heaven. Kirin can "transform" into a human form, from a human form to an animal form, and it also has powerful demon power. Only Kirin can choose the king of a country. If Wang leads astray, Kirin will fall down because of "immoral disease" Before the next Kirin chooses a new king, that country will lose its king and Kirin.

The male unicorn is called Qi and the female unicorn is called Lin. Kirin is usually called stone country+qi (forest), for example, essence, lianlin, and so on.

There is a sacrificial wood on Pengshan Mountain, and all the Kirin are born from the eggs on the sacrificial wood. For example, Dai Qilin's egg fruit is called "Taiguo". So there is brotherhood between Kirin. Before Kirin was born, the strange woman who took care of Kirin was born. The femme fatale is a demon who specializes in serving Kirin. They are creatures with deep feelings-equivalent to Kirin's wet nurse. In fact, under normal circumstances, Unicorn Chan grew up drinking the milk of monsters. Except for unicorns that bear fruit, unicorns will remain in animal form for a period of time after birth, and then will be transformed into human form. Being able to transform into a human form means extraordinary strength. Kirin looks like deer and horses. Its body is silvery white, with a golden mane and a beautiful unicorn. Kirin's humanoid hair (actually mane) is a rare golden color and cannot be dyed in other colors. In the twelve countries, people have all kinds of hair colors, but there is no gold. Although they are all gold, the coat color of different Kirin is not the same, some are golden yellow, some are gold silver, and some are gold slightly orange. Black unicorn is a rare unicorn that only appears once in hundreds of years. It is said that its appearance is a good sign. The black unicorn is black all over, turns into a human figure, and its hair is black. The black unicorn is the most powerful unicorn, and it can survive even if its horn is injured (usually, a unicorn will die if its horn is cut off-the source of spiritual strength-or its head is cut off).

Kirin will become "Pengshan Gong" after birth, and will be carefully taken care of by the fairy in Lu Peng Palace until she reaches adulthood. Pengshan Palace means the owner of Lu Peng Palace. Young unicorns will play in the Yellow Sea in the form of animals and subdue demons as their own messengers. The spell of Kirin's demon-lowering spell is like this: "Pro, soldier, fighter, philosopher, monarch, array, forward, go!" God is refreshing, the sky is clear, God is refreshing, Wang is refreshing, not dirty or turbid, ghosts surrender, and Yin and Yang are harmonious, like law! " Kirin looked into the devil's eyes and bound the devil with innate strength. As soon as Kirin relaxes, the demon either escapes or attacks. When the devil's momentum weakens, Kirin can pronounce the devil's name and restrain it-the devil is persuaded to become an emissary. In fact, this is a process of establishing a contract. The order is to eat Kirin. They worked for Kirin before their death and did not resist any orders from Kirin. After the death of Kirin, envoys will share the body of Kirin, thus increasing their demon power. The process of confrontation is also a process in which demons measure the strength of Kirin and judge whether it is worth serving each other.

When Tai Qi was touched by gluttony, the spells were different: "Pro, soldier, fighter, fighter, monarch, array, line, forward and go!" Ghosts should surrender, yin and yang should be combined, ghosts should surrender, and yin and yang should be combined, like the law! Surrender, arrogant! "

"Pro, soldier, fighter, all, array, column and front" (りん, ひょぅ, とぅ, しゃ, か) Generally speaking, I am reading. It is said that these nine words contain the power to break the magic. These nine-character mantras are also divided into mantras and Tiantai Sect. The mantra is "face, fight, fight, all, fight, front", which means "gathered soldiers and brave people in battle are sacrificed in front of them". However, the nine-character mantra of Tiantai Sect changed the word "in" to "in", that is, "near, soldiers, fighting, soldiers, all-round, array, front and line", which means "gathering soldiers and brave people all March forward" In fact, these nine words originally came from China. And it should be "near, soldier, fight, fighter, all, array, column, front, line", without the word "in" (so it seems that Tiantai Sect is authentic). It originated from Bao Puzi written by Ge Hong, a famous doctor in Jin Dynasty. The purpose of "Bao Puzi" is to talk about the skills of self-protection when seeking immortality in the mountains (this is explained in the whole article), and to protect oneself with mantras. The nine-character mantra used by the Kirin of the Twelve Kingdoms should be "pro, soldier, fighter, philosopher, all-round, array, line, front and line", instead of "pro, soldier, fighter, philosopher, all-round, array, upright and front" which often appears in various games and cartoons.

6. Lin Shi got the answer in classical Chinese:

Liu Ningzhi recognized a shoe written by a person and used it. The man later lost his shoes, returned them and refused to take them back. Shen also recognized the shoes written by his neighbor. Lin smiled and said, "Is it Qing ③?" Give it right away. The neighbor lost his shoes and returned them. Lin Shi said, "Aren't these your shoes?" Smile and accept it.

Although this is a trivial matter, it is natural for people to behave like a scholar, not a condensate. (Selected from Dongpo Zhi Lin)

Precautions:

① Yes: Yes. 2 shoes are written:: wear. ③ Qing: You. However, turning conjunctions.

Translation:

Someone pointed out that the shoes worn by Liu Ningzhi belonged to this person, so they were given to him. The man later found the lost shoes and returned them to Liu Ningzhi. Liu Ningzhi refused to take them again. Neighbors also pointed out that Shen's shoes were neighbors'. Shen smiled and said, "Those are your shoes." He gave them to him. Neighbors later found the lost shoes and returned them to Shen. I accepted with a smile.

Although this is a small matter, we should act like Shen, not like Liu Ningzhi.

The above is for reference only, I hope it will help you.

7. Some classical Chinese descriptions of ancient beasts in China The ancient beasts in China introduced the White Tiger as the god of war and war in China.

Tigers have many magical powers, such as avoiding evil, praying and punishing evil, promoting good, getting rich and getting married, etc. And it is one of the four spirits, and of course it is also changed from the stars.

Among these 28 stars, there are 7 in the west: osmium, building, stomach, ang, bi, Gou and Shen. Therefore, it is the representative of the west, and its whiteness is due to the west. The five elements belong to gold and the color is white.

So it is called white tiger not because it is white, but because it comes from five elements. Xuanwu Xuanwu is a spiritual thing composed of turtles and snakes.

Xuanwu originally meant Xuanming, and the ancient sounds of Wu and Ming are interlinked. Wu means black; Ghost means yin.

At first, Xuan Ming described the tortoise divination as follows: the tortoise's back is black, and the tortoise divination is to let the tortoise go to the underworld to ask his ancestors, bring back the answers and show them to the world in the form of divination. Therefore, the earliest Xuanwu is the tortoise.

Since then, the meaning of Xuanming has been expanding. Turtles live in rivers, lakes and seas (including turtles), so Xuan Ming became a water god; The tortoise lives long, and Xuan Ming has become a symbol of immortality; The first underworld was in the north, and Oracle Bone Inscriptions's Oracle in Shang Dynasty said that "Oracle will point to the north", so Xuan Ming became the northern god Suzaku Phoenix, and in China it was a spiritual object representing happiness.

There are many kinds of prototypes. Such as golden pheasant, peacock, vulture, mandarin fish, blackbird (swallow) and so on.

It is also said that it was made by the Buddhist Dapeng Golden Winged Bird. According to the phoenix myth, the phoenix has a chicken's head, a swallow's chin, a snake's neck, a fish's tail and five-color stripes.

There are five kinds of phoenixes, divided by color: Red Phoenix, Lan Fenghuang, White Swan and Rayna Sue Phoenix, which can also be called Suzaku or Blackbird. Suzaku is one of the four spirits, and like the other three spirits, it comes from the stars, which is the general name of the seven nights in the south: well, ghost, willow, star, Zhang, wing and bird.

Think of it as Suzaku. Scarlet, like fire, the south belongs to fire, hence the name Phoenix.

It also has the characteristics of being far from fire, also called fire phoenix, just like the immortal birds in the west. Qinglong In China, the status of dragons is much higher than that of Indians.

Because in China, the dragon is sacred, supreme and a symbol of the emperor. It is also the representative of the east, and the five elements belong to wood. Because cyan belongs to wood, there is the saying of Zuo Qinglong and you Bai Hu.

Among these 28 stars, seven stars in the east-Jiao, Kang, Bian, Fang, Xin, Wei and Ji-are used as stars. The ancients imagined them as Jackie Chan. Because it is located in the east, the five elements are colored according to yin and yang, and the east is blue, hence the name "Qinglong". There is also a saying that dragons are lustful, and when they meet cows, they give birth to Kirin, and when they meet pigs, they give birth to elephants.

Another dragon gave birth to nine sons, unlike the dragon. Here's the thing: the eldest son is called prison cow: he loves music, so he often stands on the piano head. Such as Hu Qin of Han nationality and Qin Sang of Bai nationality.

Ma Touqin in Mongolia may also be a variant of prison cattle. The second son's name is Chipi: He loves to kill people, so he is often put on weapons to intimidate the enemy.

At the same time, it is used in ceremonial ceremonies to appear more solemn. The third son's name is Mo Chifeng: it is an animal-shaped dragon, which looks a bit like a dog. It is good at viewing, so it is often placed in the corner of the temple.

It is said that it can deter demons and eliminate disasters. The first Si Er is not old: people like to growl, so they put it on the clock, mostly the image of not old.

It is said that it lives by the sea, but it is very afraid of whales. Once a whale attacks, it screams in fear. Therefore, people make the wooden pestle into the shape of a whale, which makes the bronze bell particularly loud.

The fifth son is a sister-in-law: shaped like a lion. It's imported, and it was introduced to China with Buddhism, so it's a bit like Buddha.

It is so quiet and likes fireworks. Therefore, it is often placed on the Buddha's seat or incense burner to protect Buddhism.

Liuzi is a bully: also called tortoise, he looks like a tortoise. Legend has it that in ancient times, it often carried three mountains and five mountains to make waves.

After being appeased by Yu Xia, he made many contributions to Yu Xia. After flood control became an attack, Yu Xia accepted its advantages and let it recover on its own.

So China's stone tablets are mostly carried by it. The seventh son is an armadillo: also known as the Charter, it looks like a tiger.

According to legend, it upholds justice and can distinguish right from wrong, so it is placed on the top of the sign of silence and avoidance when officials patrol, so as to maintain the awe-inspiring atmosphere of the court. The eighth son is a burden: because he loves literature, he put it in two stone tablets.

Mozi is a kiss: also known as fish-shaped dragon, with a tail. According to legend, it was introduced from India with Buddhism around the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

It's something from the Buddhist scriptures of the rain god, which can put out the fire. So the kiss was changed, so it was placed at both ends of the roof to eliminate disasters and put out fires.

Wei Xiao was born in the East China Sea. He looks like an ox, has no horns, is huge and black, and is supported by only one foot, which is also called one-legged kui. Osmium is a kind of evil beast, which can emit the light of the sun and the moon and make a thunderous cry.

Phoenix is a very familiar bird with a head like a chicken, a jaw like a swallow, a neck like a snake, a chest like a rainbow and a tail like a fish. Birds of Five Virtues.

Kirin is a kind and powerful creature, who knows the way of the world, knows God's will and can listen to destiny. There are twelve countries in the human world, ruled by twelve kings respectively.

Kings are not judged by birth or merit, but by fate. Kirin is a god beast that conveys destiny and chooses a king for the country.

Originally, he was just a scary and disgusting villain. According to Zuo Zhuan, Wen Gong was eighteen years old: "Zhuan Xu is incompetent, unable to teach, ignorant of words, stubborn in speaking, arrogant in abandoning it, and often confuses the whole world, which is called clumsiness." This hopeless villain eventually evolved into the famous ancient Warcraft after his death. "The Wild West Classic" records that "in the wild west, there are wild animals, like tiger and dog hair, two feet long, with a human face and tiger feet, a pig's mouth and teeth, and a tail of ten feet and eight feet long, which disturb the wilderness and are famous all over the world."

It is already a strange and distorted image, which is not so much Warcraft as the product of failed biochemical experiments and nuclear leakage. The famous god beast produced under the ancient divine judgment system is also known as the "law beast".

According to Lun Heng and Huai Nan Zi? According to Xiuwu, it is as big as an ox, as small as a sheep, and looks like a unicorn. It has thick dark hair, bright eyes and usually a unicorn on its forehead. It is said that those who have broken horns die. Some people have wings, but most of them have no wings. Have high wisdom, can understand people's words, and will use horns to resist dishonest and disloyal people.

Later generations tend to be ordinary.
