"Liao and Jin Dynasty Falconry"
Leslie Wallace Ph.D. - Associate Professor, Coastal Carolina University.
This talk focuses on materials from the Liao (916-1125) and Jin (115-1234) dynasties. At the time, hunting swans and geese with raptors was the centerpiece of the chunshui (spring water), a ritual hunt that was held in early spring. She discusses this hunt and falconry-related imagery that occurs in Liao and Jin tomb murals, textiles, and jewelry.
Leslie Wallace, Ph.D. is a specialist in Chinese art and archaeology and has published articles and book chapters on falconry in early and medieval China. She is working on a book on representations of falconry in China that covers materials from roughly AD 200 to 1800.
Delivered April 8, 2022, at the "Exploring Global Falconry Heritage" session of the Spring Rendezvous for The Archives of Falconry in Boise, Idaho.
