The rhinocero s unicornis moved to so ut h co ntinuo usly because t he climate and enviro nment changed. That was why t he rhinoceros unicornis was rare in t he area of Yellow River. If the rhinoce2 ros was seen in t he area of Yellow River, it was considered t hat it came for Saint King. In t his sense, t he rhinoceros was deified. The Indian rhinoceros which was called kylin kept on moving to sout h. It lived in the Yellow River valley in Shang Dynasty. From Spring and Aut umn Period to Qin and Han Dynasty it could be seen in the Jianghan basin. Now it only can be found in northeast of India and Npali. key word : Kylin ;rhinoceros unicornis ;four Spirit beast s ;the change of climate and environment 22
