Gyrfalcon Worship and the Balance of Liao,Jin and Yuan Political Ecology
Eagle hunting culture has been passed down from generation to generation among ethnic groups such as Khitan,Ju-rchen,and Mongolian.As the best eagle in the world,Gyrfalcon,who is indomitable and fearless of strong enemies,has been the ob-ject of their worship.The rise of Liao,Jin and Yuan dynasties was closely related to their national spirit of loyalty and bravery,and the worship of Gyrfalcon was also an important part of this national spirit.It is not easy to acquire Gyrfalcon,which affected the spe-cial relationship between the three nationalities and the surrounding nationalities and regions further.During the normal flow of Gyr-falcon,the relationship between different nationalities and regions was harmonious,and the relationship between emperors and min-isters was harmonious.However,the exploitation beyond the normal scope of use intensifies the burden of the exporting nations and regions,causes the tension of political ecology,and then threatened their own rule.
