Abstract
“Unicorn” is a kind of merciful animal with very strange shape. Actually it’s a mythic animal seldom-seen, appearing only in a peaceful & prosperous era. But in the 14th year of Duke Ai of Lu, a period of decline & chaos, a unicorn was caught & mistaken for an inauspicious monster. Confucius felt so sorry for the unicorn that he shed tears & stopped his writing career of the Spring & Autumn Annals in that very year. Being a follower of Confucius, who is the Sage, Han Yu wrote ‘Interpretation of Catching the Unicorn’, comparing himself to the unicorn. This paper discusses the aim of Han’s article, his writing background, & the reason why Han compared himself to the unicorn. “It’s the character, not the shape, that makes the unicorn so special & unique”, emphasized Han. This paper will try to explain why should he say so, & what are the connections between him & the unicorn.
