Kirin is a traditional auspicious animal in China. The ancients believed that wherever Kirin haunts, there must be auspicious signs. Sometimes it is used as a metaphor for a talented person with both ability and political integrity. The Ninth Rite of the Book of Rites: "Lin, phoenix, turtle and dragon are called the four spirits", which shows that the status of Kirin is at least the same as that of dragon, but not lower than that of dragon.
Kirin is also known as the "beast of middle earth", but compared with Huanglong, which is regarded as the center of the earth in many ancient books such as Huainanzi and Lingxian, Kirin is only compared with the four gods such as Qinglong in Yi Mao.
