I'm not very well versed in Filipino Mythology and Folklore but I do have quite a lot of subscribers from the Philippines so It's something I will look into very soon.
So a Quilin looks threatening and scary, but turns out to be super majestic and peaceful while the usual Unicorn looks majestic and peaceful, but turns out to have roots that make it a lot scarier. The Chinese Unicorn is basically the opposite of the regular Unicorn.
Jo King Yeah.... But i really dont want to see Suicune as Kirin because 1.I hate battling it online and capturing it is also a pain 2.Monster hunter flashback..... battling Kirin(yes Kirin is a Monster in that game) in that game was a pain too WHY EVERY KIRIN FIGHT HAS TO SUCK ASS???
The name of suicune can be interpreted as 水犬 meaning water dog( the pronunciation was what gave me the inspiration) while Raikou is 雷狗 meaning thunder dog. 犬quan and 狗gou meaning dog
The giraffe was brought to China by the famous Admiral Zheng He to the Yongle Emperor during the Treasure Fleet Voyages. The Yongle Emperor was too busy to ever leave China fighting the Mongols, etc. You said the Emperor had gone to Africa.
Forget the image about Qilin you saw。。。 The qilin is a symbol of Confucius, and the original description of the qilin is also from Confucius: a corner with flesh, colorful hair patterns, a deer body, hooves like a horse, and a tail like a cow，unless threatened, never hurt other creatures. It is synonymous with mercy. embodiment of the most important virtue of Confucianism -- benevolence仁. The image you see today is from the Ming Dynasty, more like a dragon。 In ancient China, people believed that the qilin is the king of all mammals，Just as the dragon is the king of aquatic animals、 Phoenix is the king of birds。 In modern art appraisal, The mark of a qilin is the hoof and the tail of a cow. Anything with claws is not considered a qilin.
The ‘My Little Pony’ series featured the Kirin in an episode of season eight, but like the other bits of mythology they took inspiration from, it was rather loose. I’d love to see a video that explores the mythology they used, and compares it to the actual literature.
@@burra007 well, probably cuz they're animated (if you think about how any pony in MLP would look irl). Maybe they wouldn't look AS cute if we imagined them irl.
Thank you so much for this explanation. This powerful creature came to me in 2016 and again recently so it's great to gather more information as we have a close relationship as one of my guides in this lifetime. such a great honour. greatest gratitude to you!
I really love your channel. You explain content really well, especially Greek Mythology which can be confusing at times. Not to mention your calming voice. You've got another subscriber right here.
Some ideas for future videos: A review for "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" Mythology in Star Wars The story of Romulus and Remus Conflict between Horus and Set I also pledged on patreon.
Those are great ideas, a few that I have been planning for a while. I was going to make a video about my situation and the Patreon in the next few days but you seem to have beat me to it as the first patron. Thank you so much for your support.
I just stumbled upon your channel and I am so happy I did. These are the kind of videos I didn't know I wanted to see but now I am absolutely fascinated by them!
It has to be, similarities In appearence aside, a kirin In mythology is said to appear with the imminent passing of a sage or illustrious ruler. I wouldn't be surprised if it was foreshadowing Kaidos death.

The only difference between the Chinese Qilin and the Japanese Kirin is that the Chinese Qilin has one or two horns, while the Japanese Kirin has only one horn. Interestingly, giraffes are called Kirin in Japan
In the anime Yashahime, a continuation of Inuyasha, the main antagonists were corruped Qilin daiyoukai (aka great 'demons') by the names of Zero and Kirinmaru. There was also a third one, the daughter of Kirinmaru, although she only existed in a spirit form inhabiting an artificial body. Whilst Zero and Kirinmaru were villains, Rion was openly friendly to the protagonists, although she was later deceived.
I just found your channel and I'm glad that I did. I really love that you actually included that girin is a part of korean mythology as well. Most people tend to forget korea entirely when talking about asian mythologies.
A Bengal sultan (moden day Bangladesh and Bengali speaking Indian part) got a shipment of a Giraffe from Somalia and the handed it over to Chinese Delegates (who visited Bengal as a part of Zheng He's voyage in the Indian Ocean). The Giraffe was then gifted to Emperor Yongle of China around 1414. There is a famous painting about the aninal and it Bengali keeper. Dr Sally K Church of Cambridge has an wonderful article about this episode of how ab African beast was presented to China as a means to fordge diplomatioc tie, six centuries ago.
Man, I didn't struggle against any monster until I fought Kirin in monster hunter. I am a hammer main btw. But once I switched to the Glaive, I was gucci
@@-TheLegendHimself- shit, I was a shit ass player back here😂. Kirin is easy now with a hammer, GS, and LS. I main those three and have stopped using the glaive for months
interesting. i wonder how the Kirin in MLP will be similar to their mythology counterparts. the designs i have seen appear to follow the Japanese version, and when angered burst into flames. Cant wait to see the episode and see if there are any other parallels.
I could be wrong but those of you who are playing the latest Monster Hunter game may come across a Qilin or Kirin.
Mythology & Fiction Explained oh yeah. Only it shoots lightning.
Umm Could You Please Do Some Videos On Filipino Mythology Please
Can you do one on African mythology and deities or the seven gods
I'm not very well versed in Filipino Mythology and Folklore but I do have quite a lot of subscribers from the Philippines so It's something I will look into very soon.
Yeah it is
So a Quilin looks threatening and scary, but turns out to be super majestic and peaceful while the usual Unicorn looks majestic and peaceful, but turns out to have roots that make it a lot scarier. The Chinese Unicorn is basically the opposite of the regular Unicorn.
Suicune is a qilin/kirin. Big cat is one form of it, making the Legendary Cats more plausible than Dogs.
Entei is a Chinese Lion, and obviously Raikou is a sabertooth tiger.
Jo King Yeah....
But i really dont want to see Suicune as Kirin because
1.I hate battling it online and capturing it is also a pain
2.Monster hunter flashback..... battling Kirin(yes Kirin is a Monster in that game) in that game was a pain too
WHY EVERY KIRIN FIGHT HAS TO SUCK ASS???
***SPOILER ALERT***
Now i understand TDG, and here i was thinking mad snail had come up with the Du Zhe's Qilin thing.
The name of suicune can be interpreted as 水犬 meaning water dog( the pronunciation was what gave me the inspiration) while Raikou is 雷狗 meaning thunder dog. 犬quan and 狗gou meaning dog
Actually the official name for the trio is the Legendary Beasts right?

Fun fact: The qilin/kirin is the inspiration for Suicune in Pokemon.
Fun? Why fun? Nobody finds this fact fun.
With the body of a Cheetah and the mane is supposed to be Polar Light.
@*Monika:•*• That's Christian polical
Also Keldeo!

Starting that MLP kirins are cute as a button
@@burra007 well, probably cuz they're animated (if you think about how any pony in MLP would look irl). Maybe they wouldn't look AS cute if we imagined them irl.
Anyone thinks of the forest god of princess Mononoke ???
exactly what i thought of
Pin Hair Perhaps they used the Qilin as a basis, or it was supposed to be a Qilin all along.
Me too
Definitely
Pin Hair omg yes!
From now on, I will also call qilins "cocogoat"
Ganyu? Qilin is not same creature to Goat
@huge asian x petite white And I'm cool with it
A video about this is as rare as a Qilin horn...
About the giraffe story....I was not the emperor....it was Admiral Zheng He who brought it back from one of his voyages.
MrArthoz kinda like how the portuguese got the pope an elephant
is tru giraffes looks there short necked counter-part, the shivatheruim- real kirin

Donica95 and Journey to the West or Forbidden kingdom. I’m surprised Dc or Marvel hasn’t pick him up lol

Wow, such a majestic and totally cool creature! Thank you for this beautiful and thoughtful video! ✨😎💫
Unicorns, Kirin, and Qilin.
Awesome, now I have three deer like animals to populate my fictional world.
I read the title and thought of Sasuke.
Begone with the thunderclap
I thought of Monster Hunter
You a real one
-meh-
*supress ur inner weeb* dammit i cant (sasuke's voice) *KIRIN*
Ganyu ~~
Here after Yamato's Zoan form
The only difference between the Chinese Qilin and the Japanese Kirin is that the Chinese Qilin has one or two horns, while the Japanese Kirin has only one horn. Interestingly, giraffes are called Kirin in Japan
Can you do the comparison of dragons? Both the Western and Eastern dragons? Explain the differences, what they look like, and what they represented?
. Western concept of dragon was from Bible not home grown . Chinese dragon is home grown
I first heard of this creature in *Ninja Gaiden II (2008).* It was mentioned in the lore description of Ryu's Lunar Staff weapon. 🤔
Im here because of yamato's devil fruit, Im too curious to know about it
They told stories and funny jokes.
Their stand up was a... riot.
I didn't know that Kirin was also a unicorn in their views! Fascinating!
who is here after one piece 1019 dropped??
Who's here after chapter 1019?
aye aye captain

I’ve been playing a game called spelunky, and there’s a qilin but i honestly thought it was a goat.
ganyu from genshin impact
it's a big dream of mine to get a vivid Qilin back piece. Color, scales, fire, everything.
I came here because Ganyu from Genshin Impact, she is a Qilin.
Do wendigo or kitsune
Beautiful creature! I loved this video!
Kirin is my favorite mythical creature
Who's here after chapter 1019 of One Piece???
Yamato's Devil Fruit!!!
Google Okami Amaterasu. Thats exactly what Yamato looks like.
This aged well
Thank you very interesting 👍👍👍👍
Loved the story, thank you!
One ep in Mlp that shows kirin all the time
I just found your channel and I'm glad that I did. I really love that you actually included that girin is a part of korean mythology as well. Most people tend to forget korea entirely when talking about asian mythologies.
Everything in Korea comes from China, what original culture do you have? By the way, theft is your Korean culture.
