Wang Wu said with a smile: "You may not know that Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty sailed to Africa 600 years ago.

The reason why he ran so far is said to be looking for the auspicious beast Qilin in the eyes of our Chinese people.

According to ancient Chinese legends, a unicorn appeared in the world, which is a good omen for the country's peace and peace, but no one has seen the appearance of a deer body, an oxtail, and a unicorn in ancient books. Therefore, some people have always doubted whether it really exists.

In the twelfth year of Ming Yongle, that is, on September 20, 1414, Zheng He's Yang Min brought back to Bangge Tsang, which is today a giraffe that was tributed by the new king of Bangladesh, Saifuddin. Make a fuss about it.

14 Because the shape and habits of the giraffe are too consistent with the unicorn described in the ancient Chinese books, after further understanding, it is found that the origin of the giraffe is in East Africa. The Chinese are convinced that the giraffe is the unicorn.

So after Zheng He's fleet sailed to West Asia for the fourth time, it bypassed the Arabian Peninsula and made its maiden voyage to East Africa to the hometown of giraffes in Yongle for thirteen years. In the same year, Zheng He's fleet returned to China. The envoys of various countries that came together included the envoys of the Malin country in East Africa. The seat of this country is Malindi of Kenya.

Got a giraffe from the country.

In the 14th year of Yongle, that is, 1416 AD, Maling State paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty for the second time. Ma Huan’s book "Yingya Shenglan" has the following description of the beast:'A unicorn, the front two feet are more than nine feet high, the back two feet are about six feet high, the head is raised and the neck is one foot and six feet long, and the head is high. No one can ride after being low. There are two fleshy horns on the head, beside the ears. The body of the oxtail deer, the hoof has three taeks,

Plaque mouth. Eat chestnuts, beans, and noodles. 'It's not difficult to see that the so-called'kylin' is a giraffe. According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", it was recorded in the Ming History that in the three years of orthodoxy, that is, in 1438 AD, Bangge Ciguo once again paid tribute to the "kylin."

Why did the South Asian Bangge thorn, who did not produce giraffes, repeatedly paid tribute? This was related to the international situation and maritime trade at that time.

Before the great geographical discovery, the Arabs controlled the East-West maritime trade.In addition to carrying general cargo, their dhow sailing also transported horses from the Arabian Peninsula and Somalia to India, and even transported Burmese and Sri Lanka. Elephants are transported to Indus. Since the dhow can carry horses and elephants, the Arabs took the giraffe from its part.

It is certainly not a problem to transport the data from East Africa to Bangge Spurs.

Because of the influence of the Ming Dynasty on the vassal states, giraffes are still referred to as unicorns in Japanese and Korean, and giraffes are also referred to as "unicorn deer" in Taiwanese.

Moreover, some overseas media reported that the indigenous people who looked like Asians were found in Kenya. They reported that they were descendants of sailors from Zheng He's fleet and revealed that their ancestors had sent giraffes to China. "
