The activity of falconry roughly consists of falcon catching, falcon boiling, falcon release, falcon fighting, floating eagle and caged eagle. Each link of the falconry must be done personally, and no one can replace it. Otherwise, the hawk and people cannot establish a contractual relationship of mutual trust. Therefore, it would be unfair to simply say that fighting dogs and playing eagles is a prodigal behavior of the Eight Banners children who pursue pleasure without seeking advancement. The hard work and effort put into falconry in the falconry position are unimaginable to ordinary people. It is not so much an eagle as it is a human-eagle torture. The level of devotion and perseverance involved in the eagle-handle style is no less than the training process of any modern sports. Especially during the Flying Eagle session, not every ordinary person can bear the pain of parting. Many people in modern society keep pets and unknowingly regard these pets as family members. These people can experience the psychological damage caused by falconry. Moreover, once a year, the more emotionally invested in the eagle, the greater the pain after falconry. Therefore, falconry is definitely not a profession that people with ordinary psychological quality can engage in. With the development of modern society, the pollution of the earth's environment has intensified, bringing devastating disasters to natural creatures. The eagle has been listed as a second-level protected animal by the country, which has caused the falcon hunting industry to disappear. However, the sustainable features embodied in falconry culture should be learned from and used in current human life, and we should also reflect on our current development ideas that do not benefit future generations. Through the book "Falcon Hunting", I tried to fully reflect the unique cultural essence of Chinese civilization that follows the unity of nature and man, respects nature, and maintains sustainable development.
