Do you want to experience a Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) emperor’s martial spirit and love for hunting?
As depicted in this painting, Emperor Qianlong (r. 1736-1795) expertly rides a horse, drawing his bow, ready to shoot a hare. The intense moment is shared with other nobles, each carrying quivers of arrows, ready for the hunt.
With just one day to go until the start of the Paris Olympics, our athletes are poised like Qianlong’s arrows. Let’s look forward to their performances, as they challenge themselves and strive for miracles on the global stage.
