(His Chinese name is Liang Shining). Among his paintings are western-style falcons in Chinese-style trees. These paintings create a very strange impression because to the Chinese raptors are inauspicious birds. <BR/><BR/>The Yuan emperors (of Mongol descent) did use raptors in their symbolism and art. My guess is that both for the steppe peoples and for the Chinese, raptors represent the predatory invaders of China.<BR/><BR/>Medieval European nobles were inseparable from their hawk, their hound and their horse, just like present-day Kazakhs or Kyrgyz. There's actually the possibility of a connection, because the early European mounted knights were significantly influenced by Alan steppe traditions.John Emersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12058849885222086640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-1163299347959248272006-11-11T18:42:00.000-08:002006-11-11T18:42:00.000-08:00Those steppe buzzards I suspect... or are they eag...Those steppe buzzards I suspect... or are they eagles?
