Changchun, located in the center of Northeast Asia, is also the place where the former hunting nationalities in the north are concentrated. Many people like to domesticate a wild animal, the eagle. Eagle, also known as "Haidong Qing", according to historical records, "Haidong Qing" in the Tang Dynasty was a valuable tribute from Manchu ancestors to the Central Plains Dynasty. During the Liao and Jin Dynasties, the court nobles often asked Nuzhen for the "Haidong Qing" falcon, which was surprising. In the Qing dynasty, the royal family loved eagle hunting even more. Emperor Kangxi once wrote a poem saying, "There are sixty worms in three hundred miles, and Shen Jun belongs to Haidongqing the most." The sea was called "a handsome bird" by the emperor, but all this was to "tame" the bird. "Catch" before taming. Haidongqing is a kind of raptor, and falconry is also called "falconry", that is, the eagle is not allowed to sleep, and its wildness is gradually removed, and then it is tamed into a falcon through some processes such as boxing, skipping rope and feeding. It is said that falcons have a big temper. Legend has it that a hunter tamed Hai Dongqing and often took him out to hunt. One year, the hunter was old and his eyes were not good. One day, he went hunting with an eagle. At this time, the hunter saw that there seemed to be a rabbit running on the ground, and immediately sent a signal to chase it, so the sea immediately chased it. Chase after chase, the sea found that it was not a rabbit at all, but Yunying. This is because the hunter is old and has bad eyes. He took Yunying as a rabbit and flew back angrily. When he got to the hunter, he pecked the hunter's eyes and then bumped into a tree himself. The course of eagle hunting reflects the arduous course of human conquest of nature and is a valuable cultural heritage of human beings. Nowadays, it is no longer a hunting ground, but has opened up some special hunting grounds for tourists to exercise, while falcon, bird raising and bird walking are outdoor activities for some elderly people. When you come here, people can see this folk custom with their own eyes. Especially in winter, snow and autumn, there are often falconers training in the outdoor ice and snow, which makes life in the north more magical.
