As a descendant of Ying Long, the water unicorn Kirin certainly inherited some characteristics of Ying Long. The water unicorn has a powerful Ying Long's tail, but it is indeed the most special kind of unicorn, with a head, a tiger's back, a bear's waist, a lion's feet and a dragon's tail. It's shaped like a lion. It's a mountain beast of Qingyun Mountain, with a fierce mouth.
Fire Kirin Fire Kirin is an ancient god beast. Legend has it that it is the mount of Emperor Yan Shennong. You can release flames all over your body, swallowing gold and spitting fire. Its temperament is very fierce and it has infinite natural power. It is said that it lives in Leshan area and often stirs up the life around Leshan during the flood. It often appears in the picture books where Kirin sends her son, mainly inheriting Ying Long's dragon horn and scales, deer head and horse body. Deer head symbolizes vitality, while fire means light, so it is often said that fire Kirin sends her son a blessing.
Wood Kirin The shape of wood unicorn is the most common kind of unicorn, including the dragon head, deer body, snakeskin and horseshoe shape. It has inherited the most important part of Ying Long's dragon head, and also has the skill of spitting lightning at Longkou. Dragon is the head of wealth, so people often give Muqilin the meaning of promotion and wealth.
Golden Kirin Golden Kirin is golden, inheriting Ying Long's wings and claws, lion's head and fan's tail. Jin Qilin has no related myths, legends and historical prototypes, but its image is often used in town houses to exorcise evil spirits or some ornamental ornaments. Because gold symbolizes honor and light, and the dragon's claws and wings of the golden unicorn have strong fighting power, it is often given the meaning of exorcism in Feng Shui. It is also put in some shops to make money.
The five elements of the earth unicorn are centered on the earth, and there are five elements in the soil. Therefore, the earth unicorn combines the advantages of the other four unicorns, and its image is the best among the five unicorns, which combines the dragon head of wood unicorn, the dragon forest of fire unicorn, the dragon wing of gold unicorn and the dragon tail of water unicorn. Therefore, the earth unicorn has the theory of reconciling yin and yang, reducing demons and protecting the law.
