Chapter 649 (1/2)
Kirin, in the eyes of Chinese people, is a symbol of auspicious, so people regard it as a kind of auspicious beast.
The so-called son of Kirin, according to the literal understanding, is the continuation of auspicious omen, and a deeper interpretation of this, refers to some people with both political integrity and ability, benevolence, goodness and holiness.
However, such a statement is more general.
Especially in ancient times, he could not be called the son of Qilin with virtue, talent and benevolence.
In any period of ancient times, Ming Dynasty was ruled by imperial court.
And the one who controls the court hall is the imperial family.
When people refer to the emperor, they usually use the real dragon as the emperor.
The emperor is the dragon, and the one who continues the glory of the emperor is the son of the dragon.
In mythology, the unicorn can stand side by side with the dragon.
But in the feudal dynasty, the status of Qilin was not as good as that of real dragon.
In their eyes, the moral of the son of Kirin is to some extent refuted by the real dragon.
Therefore, if these four words are used in the court, they will not only be belittled, but also cause unnecessary trouble.
Then the word ”son of Qilin” had no place in the ancient imperial court.
However, in ancient times, in addition to the imperial court, there was another area that the imperial court could not control, that is, the river and lake.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This is also a general statement.
More specifically, it refers to places outside the court hall.
Sometimes, the rivers and lakes check and balance the court, or even stand on the opposite side of the court.
Because the court hall has already used the dragon as its representative, they will not use it again.
Therefore, people in the lake regard the unicorn as a representative symbol.
The son of Kirin became the one they sought after and even served.
In the eyes of the people in the river and lake, the son of Kirin is not only a man of integrity and ability, but also a man of benevolence and benevolence. He can not only call on all the people in the world to wipe out injustice, but also wipe out all the enemies in troubled times, even overthrow the unjust Dynasty, and become a new world.
In short, the son of Qilin in the river and lake can stand side by side with the real dragon emperor in the court hall!
With the changes of the times, the world is no longer the original world.
Nowadays, the world is full of interests and intrigues.
The so-called ”son of the unicorn” has not appeared for many years due to the smoky things everywhere!
These four words, in Jiang Chen's impression, now generally exist only in books and TV plays.
But he didn't expect to hear the name mentioned now.
More importantly, people with this name will appear in front of them.
If someone else mentioned these four words, Jiang Chen would scoff and listen to them as a joke.
But, this words is Qiao son hears from the mouth of boss Xu.
Boss Xu is not an ordinary role. In qiao'er's words, the original boss Xu is the pinnacle of Cloud City.
Rao Shi has been in seclusion for many years, and his strength may not be much lower or even higher than before.
And he dares to say that these four words must not be people in the court, but a big role in the Jianghu.
Although it is no longer possible to describe today's society by ”court hall” and ”river lake”, in the sense of eyes, these things still exist.
