What is the character of Kirin? Kirin is a traditional auspicious animal in ancient China. It is said that where there are unicorns, there are auspicious signs. Kirin, with mild temperament, is one of the four great beasts in ancient China, with a life span of 2000 years. So what is Kirin's character like?
What is Kirin's personality? 1 Kirin is a traditional auspicious animal in ancient China. It is said that where there are unicorns, there are auspicious signs. Kirin is one of the four great beasts in ancient China, with a gentle temperament. Its service life can reach 2000 years. Sometimes people also use the idiom "Kirin gifted scholar" to describe people with outstanding talents and both ability and political integrity. Kirin's status is not low, it should be said that its status is equal to that of Longfeng. In the ancient book Huai Nan Zi, Kirin was described as the grandson of Ying Long.
Why did the ancients believe in Kirin? Legend has it that Confucius saw Kirin. Confucius was a great thinker and educator. He was always cautious about his words and deeds. However, in his revised Spring and Autumn Annals, something about Kirin was recorded. In the book, he wrote: "There were four years of mourning, and in the spring, forests were discovered in the west." In other words, at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, a dying unicorn was captured in the western territory of Lu, and Confucius learned about it. People believe that Confucius can't tell lies, so people firmly believe that Kirin really exists in history.
Kirin Kirin, the male is Qi and the female is Lin. In fact, if you look closely at Kirin, you will find that its appearance is a mixture of many creatures, such as the head of a dragon, the body of an elk, the oxtail and the horseshoe. Therefore, we also have reason to believe that Kirin is just a mythical beast invented by the ancients. Just like a dragon, it does not exist in itself. Only in ancient China, Kirin had its own profound cultural connotation. In China's traditional folk custom, placing Kirin-shaped ornaments or ornaments at home has the function of blessing. Kirin can often be seen in some ancient books in China. For example, in the second year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, a cow in Jiangsu turned into a unicorn, covered in black scales, but people thought it was a monster and killed it. Similar stories are too numerous to mention.
What is Kirin's personality? 1. Ancient totem worship.
Kirin is an ancient beast, which first appeared in Zuo Zhuan in the 5th century BC. It is said that Kirin is also the ancestor of Zhou Renzhou. The poem "Kirin treads on auspicious clouds, but it is hard to disappear on earth" began to exist at that time. In the eyes of ancient people, Kirin is the most auspicious symbol in the world. As long as it appears, it symbolizes the occurrence of good things, especially in ancient times, people still regard Kirin as a totem of the tribe.
Why can Kirin become a totem?
The reason why Kirin has these beautiful meanings actually stems from a kind of worship of the ancients. In ancient times, people's knowledge level was limited, their productivity level was very low, and their ability to resist major natural disasters was very weak. At that time, people spontaneously created many "beasts" and "gods" and wanted to pray for their wishes by worshipping these "beasts" and "gods".
Therefore, Kirin was probably a totem worship in ancient times, which can be inferred from the appearance of Kirin. "The lion's head, antlers, tiger's eye, elk body, Longlin and oxtail are all totems of different tribes in ancient times. Therefore, it is credible to regard Kirin as a tribal totem.
According to historical records, the origin of Kirin may be Ying Long, the ancestor of the Yellow Emperor. Kirin is one of the main branches of Ying Long lineage, so it is conceivable that Kirin became a totem of ancient worship.
Kirin is Zhou's totem.
Moreover, ancient humans also had certain standards when choosing totems. In addition to the superstition of a particular animal, the blood relationship between animals and clans is also a criterion for totem selection.
According to this, some scholars believe that Kirin is probably a totem worship in the ancient Zhou Dynasty, because the appearance of Kirin looks like a deer, and the radical of the word "Kirin" is also "deer", so Kirin should have a great relationship with deer.
According to archaeological records, it can be found that Kirin first appeared, and Zhou is most likely to regard Kirin as a totem, because there are a large number of deer near Zhou's living area, so according to such findings, Kirin is most likely to be Zhou's worship totem.
For this reason, it is a bit difficult to convince the public that Kirin is a god beast. The reason why Kirin is listed as a god beast is not only because of the totem worship of ancestors, but also because of the relationship between Kirin and Confucius.
Second, the two encounters between Kirin and Confucius
Although Kirin was born with auspicious omen, it is still difficult to enter the list of animals without the blessing of other people's fame and fortune. After all, there are countless mythical beasts created by the ancients because of totem worship, and it is not enough for Kirin to rely solely on sending children and auspicious signs.
So at this time, Confucius, a figure inseparable from Kirin, appeared. It can be said that Confucius and Kirin are a pair of mutually successful beings, and they rely on each other to reach the realm of two gods.
1, Kirin sent the son, and Confucius came to earth.
The first intersection of Confucius and Kirin was when Confucius came to earth. According to "Notes on Collection", Confucius came to Niqiu Mountain to pray on the eve of childbirth. Later, after Confucius was born, because his head looked like this mud hill, Confucius was named Zhong Ni. Most importantly, on the eve of Confucius' birth, a unicorn appeared in Confucius' house.
This unicorn lived in Confucius' house for two days. Before Confucius was born, it also wrote a "Jade Book" which read "The son of a crystal son, who declined and became king". Confucius has the talent and virtue that only emperors have, but he can't be an emperor, so he is called "king".
In addition to the appearance of Kirin, Confucius also saw the auspicious feeling of "two dragons circling the room and five stars descending from the court", which was naturally overjoyed, so he tied an embroidered belt on the corner of Kirin to pray for Confucius, and Confucius was born. According to Confucius' later achievements, it is truly deserved to call Confucius "Su Wang".
Although the auspicious signs about Confucius' birth are exaggerated, it can be seen that Kirin and Confucius are indeed closely related, which has become a major reason for later generations to list Confucius and Kirin as shrines.
2. Xishoulin, Confucius sealed the pen.
The second intersection of Confucius and Kirin was the year when Confucius collected his pen. As the pioneer of Confucianism, Confucius was also a comprehensive lecturer in the Spring and Autumn Period. He taught and educated people all his life and worked hard at writing. But when he was 7 1 year old, Confucius closed his pen on the grounds of "hunting in the west"
According to records, in fourteen years, the royal family of Lu hunted and played in Juye, Shandong Province. Someone hunted a strange-looking animal, which had the body of a deer, horseshoes, oxtails, unicorns and wore armor.
Everyone didn't know this beast, so they asked Confucius. Who knows that Confucius was startled when he saw this beast, and then he hid his face and cried.
Everyone was puzzled, and Confucius said, "Lin is a wise king. When I see harm, I will harm it."
This is a unicorn, an auspicious beast. Only when the country is stable, the politics is clear, the people live and work in peace and contentment, or a wise king appears in the country, will it appear. It's just that this unicorn happened in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the war continued, and the land fell apart. It was born at an untimely time and it was bound to encounter great misfortune.
This is the story of "I was captured in the West". Confucius thought it was ominous to meet Kirin in this troubled times, and he knew that Kirin had lived for himself when he was born, so this time he gave birth to Kirin, which means "I am poor."
Therefore, when Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals, he wrote: "Four years of mourning for the public, the West is in the forest." He also wrote an elegy for "hunting in the west is better than the forest". "Tang Yu's world is full of happiness, but now is not the time to take it. I am worried about it."
Finally, Confucius finished the Spring and Autumn Annals, and from then on, he never wrote a new treatise until his death two years later. Although Confucius' seal of calligraphy also has a certain relationship with his age, it is only that "hunting in the western expedition is the biggest factor"
Later generations built "Kirin Terrace" in Juye, Shandong Province to commemorate the "Western Expedition". Later, Xin Qiji passed by here in the Southern Song Dynasty and wrote a poem "The Spring and Autumn Pen begins and ends, and the classic is named after Lao Lin."
Compared with "Lin Tu Yu Shu" when Confucius was born, the story of "Xi Shou Li Lin" is more credible. In addition to the Spring and Autumn Annals, it is also recorded in Zuo Zhuan and Historical Records. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai also wrote in "Ancient Poetry" that "I hope that the saints will stand still and I will never win the forest." Therefore, the historical evidence of "hunting in the west and getting the forest" is more sufficient.
3. Confucius and Kirin are listed as shrines.
The image of Kirin is an auspicious beast, and the ancient definition of Kirin's god is "benevolence, virtue, auspiciousness, nobility and giving children." Confucianism represented by Confucius is also "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith". So the spirit they represent is very similar.
1, people call it a god.
As a matter of fact, the saying that Kirin sent a son originated from the "Lintu Yu Shu" when Confucius was born. Therefore, people all hope that their children will meet the good omen of "Lin Tu Yu Shu" when they are born, so they call it "Lin Lin" to celebrate their birthday, and there is even a saying that "Kirin in the sky is the best on the ground".
In the eyes of the people, although Kirin looks fierce like a lion's head and antlers, its true character is very docile. "Delinjie" records that "you must swim in the soil and get lucky. You must not walk away from insects and practice grass." This shows that Kirin is not only an auspicious symbol, but also a kind-hearted beast, and even the flower bug is unwilling to hurt it.
Song Yan-Cham also said in "Poetry" that "there are enough people who are easy to kick, and only enough people can kick instead of kicking. Those who have the quantity are easy to get, and those who have enough can get it but not reach it. The horn is easy to touch, and only a few feet can be touched without touching. " This shows that Kirin is really a "benevolent beast".
Correspondingly, the image of Confucius in people's minds is also benevolence-oriented, advocating benevolent government, which is very similar to Kirin's character, so there is a saying that "the forest is Confucius".
2. The king called it God.
As mentioned above, Kirin is "the king of Ming is the king of Lin", so kings of all dynasties hope that Kirin can be born during his reign, so that he can prove to the world that he is a wise king.
As we all know, the dragon has always been the exclusive totem of the royal family, but the royal family attaches no less importance to Kirin than the dragon. For example, Qilin Pavilion was built in Han Dynasty, Qilin Hall was built in Han Dynasty and Linde Hall was built in Tang Dynasty.
These are all manifestations of the king's worship of Kirin. With the worship of the royal family, it is more logical for Kirin to be included in the beast. Therefore, Kirin was endowed with divinity, not simply because of some beautiful wishes of ancient humans.
The animal name of Kirin can be summarized as a gift from ancient humans. Later, because of the interdependence with Confucius, he achieved two great achievements: "Kirin sent the son" and "Western expedition hunting forest". Finally, because of the influence of Confucius and the uniqueness of Kirin itself, it won the unanimous worship of the people and the king.
This is the reason and process why Kirin was listed in the list of god beasts and went to the altar. Until now, Kirin is still a kind of worshipped beast in the culture of the Chinese nation. The auspicious culture of Kirin is still deeply buried in the hearts of China people, and its status as a beast will be passed down for a long time.
What is the character of Kirin? What is the character of Kirin's son?
If the "seven kills" appear in Shizhu Tiangan, and there is only one overall situation of the whole eight characters, there will be a god of food to restrict the seven kills, and the Lord himself is strong, then this person will get a unicorn. The child is usually middle-aged or elderly. The so-called seven people killed the children and then were transported to Guanzi Dezi Banner. The so-called ancestor Qi Ying was born of the so-called unicorn in ancient times.
Kirin life means a very good life. Kirin is an auspicious beast. Naturally, Kirin is a kind of fate. Kirin's life is a very beautiful life. In some industries, it can be regarded as a general term for outstanding talents. The life span of Kirin people is usually born on 15, 5, 9 and 25 of the lunar calendar. Such people generally have extraordinary talents, are easily loved by everyone, and have a particularly good reputation, but they should pay attention to keeping a low profile, and some light will not make people feel unattainable.
When was Kirin born?
People born on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar may be unicorns: the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar is the full moon. Most people born on this day are optimistic, cheerful, versatile and versatile. At the same time, his own temperament is more romantic. Both men and women have certain charm and are more perceptive than reason, but such people are well connected and closely connected. Noble people are eternal, and they are ready to help others.
People born on the fifth and ninth day of the lunar calendar may be the fate of Kirin: the five elements of this day belong to fire. Most of them are precocious and independent They are tough and active. Many of them will go out to make a living when they are young. Sour, but most people will get more help after middle age, with smooth career development, abundant wealth, and complete life.
