    The unicorn found by Zheng He in the West should refer to the giraffe in Africa. There were no giraffes in ancient China, and Zheng He and others mistakenly thought they were the legendary unicorns for the first time.

    The unicorn that Zheng He brought back from the West was a giraffe.

    In the twelfth year of Yongle of the Ming Dynasty (1414 AD), Zheng He's fleet sailed to Bengal and returned to Beijing with two sacred beasts named "Keelin" (Giri in Somali) that had been paid tribute by Bangladesh.

    ** And the people also competed with each other. When everyone saw this divine beast, their minds immediately matched the legendary unicorn, and the pronunciation of "Kirin" was also the same as that of the unicorn.

    The unicorn that Zheng He Cong brought back from the West was a giraffe.

    600 years ago, Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty of China sailed the world, and history has reached as far as Africa. The reason why he ran so far is said to be to find the auspicious beast "Qilin" in the minds of the Chinese. Ancient Chinese legends say that there is a unicorn in the world, which is a good omen for the peace of the country and the people, and the peace of the world, but no one has ever seen the appearance of this ancient book described as a deer body, ox tail, and unicorn beast, so some people have always doubted whether it really exists.

    On September 20, the twelfth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1414 AD), Yang Min under Zheng He brought back a giraffe that was paid tribute by Saifudin, the new king of Banggara (now Bengal), and the whole country of the Ming Dynasty was in an uproar.
