So Qilin and Aoyin they all come from this book.
Legends describe Qilin as a gentle and peaceful creature. In Buddhist depictions of the creature, for instance, the Qilin is shown to be walking on clouds, as it refuses to harm even a single blade of grass by walking on it. In the meantime, in some stories, the Qilin is capable of incinerating people, and possesses a variety of supernatural powers. These abilities are only revealed, however, when it is required to defend innocent people from the malice of evil.

Figure 2: Qilin
According to Richard (2002) Aoyin resembled an ox but with four horns and hair like a straw. And cry like an infant. But the Aoyin was a predacious animal and known how to kill and devour humans. Also was a cruel monster.
Figure 3: Aoyin
I combine Chinese fairy tale and western culture to creative a story and talk about set off to symbolize good can defeat evil. And metaphor someone who is a generous self-sacrificing man.
