As mentioned in ancient records, the appearance of Qilin is considered a special occasion.
History contains references to the relationship between Qilin and the emperors. Kilin is considered a messenger from Heaven and his presence influenced the rise and fall of dynasties. It is believed that during the reign of the legendary emperors, among whom the morally stable and benevolent Fu Xi, Huangdi, Yao and Shun, Qiling appeared.
While hunting in 122 BC, one of the greatest rulers of the Han dynasty, Wu (Wu), met the white Qilin. In honor of such an event, the “Song of White Qilin” was written, and the emperor also changed the name of the era to “Yuanshou” in honor of the auspicious and successful occasion.
Under the ruler, the “Kilin Tower” was built. The great-grandson of the ruler in 51 BC, Emperor Xuan, hung eleven paintings in the tower with portraits of court officials who had high merits for the country. The term “Killin Tower” has become a household name for its high merits.
All the emperors mentioned above were diligent and hardworking. The country prospered under their rule.
The era, under the patronage of Kirin, was famous for its prosperity and tranquility.
