"Xishou Huolin" is famous throughout the country. Some states, counties, townships and villages have place names such as Linzhou in the Tang Dynasty, Jiaxiang County east of Juye, Huolinbao (township) and Huolinji east of Juye City, etc. Named after this. Since ancient times regarded dragons, phoenixes, turtles and lins as gods, hunting for lins in the west has become an important part of literati’s writings. The "Collection of Chunqiu Zuozhuan" written by Du Yu, the general and historian of Jin Zhengnan, said: "Lin is a benevolent beast and the sage king's Jiali." Han Yu, a great writer in the Tang Dynasty, said in "Huo Lin Jie" (annotation): "The horn of a lin can carry meat, and it can be equipped with weapons but does no harm." "When you travel, you must moisten the soil, and you will find auspiciousness in the land. If you don't walk on it, insects will grow, and if you don't walk on it, grass will grow. The king will emerge. Together with the phoenix, turtle, and dragon, they are called the four spirits." Because Qilin is one of the four spirits, some historical stories such as "Lin Jing" and "Lin Jing" "Qilin Book", "Jinbi Story", Song Chengju's "Lintai Story", Qing Li Yu's "Qilin Pavilion", etc. all use Qilin as the title or content of the book. Another example is that the reign names of ancient emperors or the names of ancient buildings and places often use the word "lin" as an auspicious code. Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, called Weiyang Palace Jilin Palace, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty must have called it Qilin Pavilion. In the fourth year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, he took Linyi from Xishou and established Linzhou in Juye. Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty named the reign as Linde, and Empress Wu Zetianbi Zhongshu Province named it Lintai. In the fourth year of the Dali calendar of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, a Lintai stele was erected at Qilintai. In the seventh year of Emperor Jin's reign, Jiaxiang County was established in Shankou Town, Juye County (today's Dashantou area of ??Jiaxiang County) based on the auspicious meaning of Qilin. In the 16th year of the reign of Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty, he considered Lin as an auspicious sign and built the Linfeng Pavilion in the north of Juye County. In the second year of the reign of Emperor Wenzong of the Yuan Dynasty, Fan Xun, the administrator of Juye County, rebuilt the Linfeng Pavilion. In the Ming Dynasty, Fang Shihua, the magistrate of Juye County, built Ruilin Temple in Qilin Terrace. Ruilin Temple is a magnificent building with a spectacular scale. According to local legend, the entire temple covered an area of ??more than 100 acres at that time, with more than 100 monks and dozens of tenants. There are shops, stone mills, vegetable gardens, salt fields, car workshops, etc. near the temple. It is obviously a self-sufficient economic unit. To the south of Ruilin Temple, there is a small river called Bali River. This river flows from east to west, with rows of willows on its banks, gurgling water and numerous swimming fish. There is a ferry on the south bank of the river, which is called "Huolin Ancient Ferry" in "Juye County Chronicle". Every spring, the wind is warm and the sun is warm, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. Scholars and businessmen, men, women and children come here in an endless stream for sightseeing. Unfortunately, due to the wars in the late Ming Dynasty, the entire temple was turned into a ruin. Today, all that can be seen is this earthen platform covered with wild grass.

In the 31st year of Shaoxing, Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty (the first year of Emperor Wanyan and Dading of Later Jin Dynasty), the 21-year-old patriotic poet Xin Qiji joined the anti-Jin uprising army on his way to Juyelintai. Impromptuly compose a five-character rhyme poem:

End of Chunqiu pen, the name of the classic is Jilin. Lu was once built on the deserted platform, and Qin was not burned by wild grass.

The lush mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the green scenery is new. Will Editor Wei continue? The book ribbon has become green.

Sun Yi, a poet of the Ming Dynasty, wrote a five-character poem when he was traveling to "Huolin Ancient Ferry". His poem said:

The cold smoke accumulated on the ancient crossing, and the bright sand shone down. Spring and Autumn are sad for the phoenix sun, and heaven and earth are weeping for the Lin years.

When Lu changed things, there were obstacles, but when Zhou declined, things reversed. So far, they are all masterpieces. Who can tell the true meaning?

Qilin culture is China’s traditional folk culture. For example, the Qilin giving birth to a child is an old Chinese fertility folk custom. According to legend, Qilin is a benevolent beast, a symbol of auspiciousness, and can bring children to people. According to legend, on the eve of Confucius's death, a Qilin wrote a jade calligraphy at his home, which read, "The descendants of Shuijing will decline in Zhou Dynasty and become kings." This means that he has the virtues of an emperor but has not yet occupied his position. Although this is apocryphal theory, it is actually the origin of "Qilin sends his son", which can be found in Wang Chong's "Lunheng. Dingxian" and Jin Wangjia's "Supplementary Notes". Among the people, it is known as "Qilin'er" and "Lin'er". During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, people often called smart and cute boys "my family Qilin". This was followed by the "Qilin Sending His Son Picture". As a wooden painting, the couplet "Qilin'er in the sky, number one scholar on the ground" is engraved on it, which is a good omen. Folks generally believe that worshiping Qilin can lead to fertility and children. "Song of Xu Qing's Two Sons" by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty: "Don't you see that Xu Qing's two sons are so wonderful. They follow each other in auspicious dreams. Confucius and the Shi family hugged him personally, and they were unicorns in the sky." Hu Pu'an's "China Customs Chronicles. Hunan" quoted " "Changzhi New Year's Custom Poems": "It's strange for women to surround a dragon to conceive a child, and it's strange to wish for a child. A real dragon is not as good as a paper dragon, but it can be used as a linlin to bring a child."

"Original note: "If a woman has been barren for many years, when the dragon lantern comes home, she will be given an additional ceremony, and the dragon's body will be wrapped around the woman once, and the dragon's body will be shortened, and a child will be mounted on it, and it will circle around in front of the hall, which is called Lin. Qi gives birth to a child. "According to the fact that Qilin belongs to the dragon clan, this is the person who replaced Qilin with a dragon lantern.

Juye is the hometown of Qilin, and the people of Juye have a special liking for Qilin. In Juye, there are many folk customs about Qilin. All of them. There are countless poems and songs about Qilin, calligraphy and paintings depicting Qilin, and sculptures and inscriptions commemorating Qilin. There are also countless people and things named after Qilin in Juye. As the hometown of China’s Kirin culture, it has ushered in an opportunity for Juye to develop Kirin culture.
