Hailufeng Kirin
海陆丰麒麟
Kirin, also known as Ruilin, is called Kirin, which is a legendary beast of the sea and land. It combines dragon heads, deer bodies, horseshoes, oxtails, and wolf foreheads, wearing colourful scales, which can be used for human beings to fight difficulties. Therefore, traditional festival activities have the custom of dancing unicorn for evil spirits, evil, clean communities, etc.
Kirin looks like a horse, like a deer, with a tail like a ox tail, a mouth that can spit out fire, and a sound like thunder. In general, unicorn (Ki麒)is male (unicorn), lin(麟)is female (pointless), elk body, ox tail, fish scales, feet are even hoofs or five toes, with a horn on the head and meat at the end. In ancient China, Qilin was used to symbolise Xiangrui. It is said that this animal will only appear in the prosperous days of Taiping, or when there are saints in the world, and it is also regarded as Vernon Rui. Confucius is closely related to Kirin. It is said that Confucius appeared before and before his death. Before Confucius was born, it is rumoured that Confucius had a "mouthed jade book" in his yard, which wrote the words "the son of water spirits, the dead king of Zhou and Su, who was recruited by Xianming". Confucius wrote in the Spring and Autumn Period and its three biographys: in the spring of the fourteenth year of Duke Ai (481 BC), Kazukano, who was named after Jiaxiang, Shandong Province.
Kirin is the main colour of green, and the blue-faced white-horned unicorn is used in grand occasions, and gold is used in ordinary occasions. It is customary for the National Arts Association and the Martial Arts Museum to have only one unicorn, and few pairs appear. But in the event of the festival, the number of unicorns may be higher.
Hong Kong's Hailufeng/Chelao ethnic group celebrates the festival or birthday by dancing unicorn. Hailu Fengqilin has a wide face, fangs, a strong shape, a particularly high unicorn on the top of his head, bent and prominent, and decorated with gossip on his forehead as an evil town demon. The dancing unicorn is about 20 feet long and weighs more than 10 kilograms. Kirin dance means to protect the world's "smooth wind and rain, national peace", especially in Hong Kong's Cheung Chau community. The Changzhou Ruilin dance is mainly performed by the Hailu Feng Kirin team, usually danced by men; with the beat beat, it shows Ruilin's mood and mood of anger and sadness. The general Ruilin dance has two categories: "single performance" and "joint performance": "single performance" are performed by Fengqilin in the sea and land, each or jointly performing "greening", "panmen", "jumping", etc. The "joint performance" is usually performed by Fengqilin, navy and land, in conjunction with other human beasts to highlight the majesty of the king of Ruilin.
