Did the unicorn that Confucius recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period that was hunted by the monar

It's fake, there are no unicorns in the world at all.

The unicorn is a legendary animal.

Therefore, it is impossible for Confucius to have seen a real unicorn.

There is a theory that refers to a giraffe (Zheng He once brought back a young giraffe from Africa), but this should be after more frequent exchanges between the East and the West.

First of all, you have to determine whether there is such a species as a unicorn, the answer is no, so it is impossible for him to encounter a unicorn, it is estimated that it is an animal that Confucius has never seen.

The unicorn is there, and he doesn't know if he meets it.

It was written by Confucius in order to tell the world the standard of right and wrong, good and evil"Spring and Autumn".Come and see, so to speakLu Aigong shot and killedRui BeastKirinIt dealt a heavy blow to Confucius's concept of governing the country. It is for this reason that after the death of the Qilin, Confucius stopped his writing.

To put it simply, "Spring and Autumn" should be more precisely "classics" than historical books, because the compilation process of "Spring and Autumn" was affected by Lu Aigong's shooting of the unicorn, so this scripture is also called "Lin Jing" in history. While"Spring and Autumn" is one of the Confucian classicsIt is also of great significance for the study of Confucius's Confucianism.

It can be said that from the experience of Confucius, Confucius had great ideals and talents in his life, but his talents were destined not to be used in the great era when the Zhou Dynasty was declining and the order of etiquette and music collapsed. Confucius's concept is more suitable for the peaceful era of great unification, in fact, it can be seen from the operation of deposing the hundred schools of thought and Confucianism during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, in Confucius's view, in such a war-torn era, there should not be such an auspicious beast as a unicorn, in fact, from his heart, he felt that the auspicious beast was shot by Lu Aigong to show a kind of inaction. It can be said that he not only feels sorry for the Qilin, do you say that you are an auspicious beast and are insane? The era of peace is the time you should stay, you have to come out in the troubled times to swagger and pass away, it is difficult for you not to be killed!

Through the death of the unicorn, Confucius will also think that his own concept of governing the country may be as pitiful as this unicorn, which can be described as an inopportune time! Not to mention Confucius at that timeHe was seventy-one years oldConfucius himself certainly knew that his lifespan was already limited, and it can be said that it was difficult to see the re-emergence of the Zhou dynasty in his lifetime.

In this context, of course, Confucius was very sad, perhaps Confucius thought of his own miserable life, and felt that his ideals were difficult to realize, and since then Confucius stopped writing, it can be said that "Spring and Autumn" ended with Lu Aigong's "Western Hunting and Harvesting Lin". It also marks that it is difficult for the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty to do anything, and Confucius was also depressed after this incident, so 2 years laterConfuciusJustPassed away.

The death of the Qilin shortly after being brought back to the state of Lu was an extraordinary event in Confucius's view. The unicorn is a rui beast, and it generally only appears in the peaceful era, but the situation at that time was that there were wars, and it was not the era when the unicorn was born at all, so Confucius wrote this history with great sadness and then terminated the "Spring and Autumn Period", which is"Absolutely in the book"The origin.

Because Confucius believed that the unicorn was a divine thing, it would only appear in peaceful and prosperous times, and now it was in troubled times and was captured, so he stopped compiling it.

Mainly because Confucius thought that the unicorn was a mascot, and now he was shot by Lu Aigong in troubled times, Confucius felt very sad and desperate, so he stopped writing "Spring and Autumn".

Because Confucius was quite sad at that time, after all, as a literary person, he must have to bear a lot of pressure, so he finally stopped writing the Spring and Autumn Period.
