Translated with Google translator: More than 600 years ago, Zheng He went down to the Western Sea, brought back the giraffe from the African land, and dedicated it to the Ming Dynasty emperor. The emperor’s minister, in order to please the emperor, then deceived the emperor. This is the unicorn, the emperor did not see. I have never seen a giraffe before, and I believe that it is true. I also call the artist a portrait of a giraffe and call it a unicorn figure. So people later thought that Kirin was a double-horn, but in fact, the earliest record about Kirin was in the “East Zhou Lie Guozhi”: “Hey, beasts also, and they are in the corner of the oxtail, so they don’t stalk the worms. From this we can see that the Chinese unicorn has always been a unicorn. I have to say that Hasbro has been very thorough in researching “Kirin”.

600多年前，郑和远下西洋，从非洲那地儿带回了长颈鹿，并把它献给了当时的明朝皇帝，而皇帝的大臣为了取悦皇帝，于是就骗皇帝这玩意就是麒麟，皇帝没见过麒麟，也没见过长颈鹿，于是信以为真，还叫画师为长颈鹿画像，并称其为麒麟图。所以后来人们都以为麒麟是双角，但其实关于麒麟最早的记载是在《东周列国志》：“麒，仁兽也，麋身牛尾一角，以其不履生虫，不折生草也。”由此可见，中国的麒麟从来都是独角的。不得不说，孩之宝对于“麒麟”研究得还挺透彻的。

For those who don’t understand. In Korean (also Japanese) the word for Giraffe is basically the same as the word for a Kirin. In fact there is a story of a Chinese emperor getting a captive Giraffe as a gift and thinking that it was a Kirin.
