Confucius was born after meeting Lin, and died after seeing Lin. Confucius once wrote an elegy for Qilin: "In the Tang and Yu times, Lin and Feng were wandering around. Why do you come here now when it is not the right time? Lin is here, and Lin is here. My heart is worried." After Confucius died, , the story of Huolin's final writing is widely circulated. Li Bai, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, has a poem in his "Ancient Poetry" that says, "If a saint is established, his last work will be in Huolin." Han Yu, a great writer in the Tang Dynasty, said in his "Lin Jie": "The corner of a lin can carry meat, and it can be equipped with weapons without doing any harm." "When you travel, you must moisten the soil, and the place you come back to is auspicious. 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."
