Origin and Story of 龙骧麟振
King Wen of Zhou, a ruler of great virtue, married the virtuous Lady Si. Their children were exceedingly benevolent and kind, likened by people to the 'toes of a Qilin'.
The Qilin (unicorn) is an auspicious animal, known for its spiritual nature, benevolence, and sincerity.
If King Wen's consorts cultivated virtue within themselves, their descendants would also be influenced by this sacred virtue, becoming virtuous rulers. This would ensure the continuation of the great undertaking initiated by King Wen.
