1, Kirin is an animal created by combining thoughts according to the way of thinking of China people. From its external shape, it looks like a moose, a dragon's tail, a horseshoe (called "deer's hoof" in history books), a dragon's skin, a corner with meat at the corner end, and yellow. This model is a new combination of many real animals. It concentrates all the advantages of these precious animals on Kirin, a fictional animal, which fully embodies the concept of "Jimei" of China people.

2. Kirin is endowed with excellent quality in legend. For example, it is said that it is gentle and kind, does not cover insects, does not fold grass, has horns on its head and meat on its horns, so it is called "benevolence". Zhao of Xiliang said in the "Kirin Fu": "A round hoof, the rules are good, you must choose the swimming place, and you must be in the back, don't jump into the trap and get into trouble." Fu Ruizhi, the Book of Song Dynasty, said: "The benevolent wears righteousness, does not drink the pool, does not trap, and does not catch."

Kirin has been regarded as a symbol of wisdom and a metaphor of culture and art in Europe since ancient times. But in modern times, some westerners turned it into a modern totem of money fetishism and the hunting object of profit-seekers, so they got the so-called "Golden Kirin". La chasse à la licorne, a best-selling novel by Elobres, a contemporary French writer and academician of Goncourt College of Literature, has been translated into Chinese and published in Beijing.
