The Qilin, a mystical and benevolent creature, is said to possess the head of a dragon, the body of a deer covered in scales, and the tail of a bull. For generations, it has been revered as a symbol of luck and prosperity. Unicorns, in various forms, have been present throughout history. Chinese records describe a magnificent creature called Ch'i lin or K'i lin, known as the "great unicorn."

This mythical being is said to emanate vibrant colors, possess a voice reminiscent of a thousand wind chimes, and avoid conflict at all costs. With a lifespan of a thousand years and a horn measuring twenty meters long, Ch'i lin's gentle nature is believed to be the reason its hooves make no sound, as it delicately treads on the grass. The Chinese hold Ch'i lin in high regard as a creature of immense power and wisdom, appearing during significant moments as a harbinger of good fortune.

In Chinese, Korean, and Japanese traditions, the sighting of a qilin is associated with the birth or passing of a truly benevolent and wise leader. Due to its connection with luck and its peaceful, vegetarian nature, the qilin is sometimes referred to as the "Chinese unicorn" in Western culture.
