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
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 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.
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!
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.
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.

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.
You actually see one of these and legend of Zelda breath of the wild it is called the Lord of the mountain and was put into the game as a tribute to saturo iwata the late president of Nintendo who passed away shortly before the games release
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.
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
The fact that I do so much research for hours about mythical creatures just to make a Royale High OC that will only last 5 minutes before I realize nobody wants to roleplay with me or wont find it cringey.
2:30 I know that story. Emperor Zhu Di wanted to construct the Forbidden City but the mandarins were opposed and they controlled taxes so he couldn't make it.

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?
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.

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.
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!
@@najarintheoverowrldermuge6568 but not Dragon type Pokemon.
And arceus
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

Unicorns, Kirin, and Qilin.

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.

Unfortunately not but her fruit is just as good

Good work. I love it keep it up
I didn't know that Kirin was also a unicorn in their views! Fascinating!

That's a nice one ;)
Here after Yamato's Zoan form
yo, I like your videos so far. trying to get an idea for an enemy one day
Let's go Yamatoo!!!!!!
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
How about you talk about Sun Wukong? I'd watch it
It's definitely one of the most suggested videos I get so I'll have to start planning the video soon.

*supress ur inner weeb* dammit i cant (sasuke's voice) *KIRIN*
An interesting creature. The Qilin/Kirin really is the Asian unicorn, since it only appears to those pure of heart.

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
One ep in Mlp that shows kirin all the time
Love it!
The fact that I do so much research for hours about mythical creatures just to make a Royale High OC that will only last 5 minutes before I realize nobody wants to roleplay with me or wont find it cringey.
I’m surprised nobody mentions that the Qilin also was the inspiration for Corrin’s dragon form in Fire Emblem Fates.
Kirin is my favorite mythical creature

Then his good friend, Zheng He brought a giraffe and passed it off as a qilin to fool the mandarins into believed it as a sign that the gods wanted the construction of the Forbidden City.
I probably would've never heard of this animal without Dairanger.

aye aye captain
You think you can do some episodes about Celtic mythology? I would love to see a video about the Nuckalavee.
It's something I get requested often and I do find Celtic mythology really interesting, there are a few ideas I have so hopefully there will be a few videos in the coming weeks.
I thought Qilin where lion like with dragon scales and horse huffs on the hine legs used to act like guardian statues. And the Kirin was what you described in this video.
Qilin are one of the rarest, most powerful creatures: no wonder I’m hearing this for the first time. **Here is my interpretation…**
Physical Traits:
- Body of a horse and deer. Creatively constructed into a mystical unicorn.
- Body covered in fish scale: means that it can swim underwater. Water is associated to healing.
- Body covered in fire: similar to a dragon 🐉. Pure Fire does not damage you ~ from Avatar Aang.
- Singular horn: related to healing ~ Ari from MHA.
Appears during:
- Reign of good & just ruler.
- Death and Birth of a SAGE.
- presence signals the start of a Golden Age
- During Peace and Harmony
Characteristics as:
- Calm and Benevolent: Refusing to harm other creatures
- Walking on small cloud: not damage a blade of grass
- will not do harm to any soul that it considers good and pure
- When threatened: incinerate anything with its breath of holy fire.
- Keeps its super natural powers hidden until it feels the need to defend itself for other people from the actions of evil doers.
- Purity: symbol of justice and wisdom.
- Many consider as omen of good fortune.
Dictionary:
- REGAL Creature = befitting a king or queen
- REVERED Creature = deep respect and admiration
Fascinated that Looks can be deceiving. Seems as a creature u don’t wish to come across. But that is the opposite of what the qilin actually is
However, Qilin portrayed in FANTASTIC BEAST is different than the one described in this video.
Yamato!
