From Daur＇s Bako to Modern Hockey

Aboy, holding in his left hand a stick crooked at the lower part, crouches and prepares to bat a ball-such is a picture woven in a blanket from the Tang Dydasty （618-907）, which is now preserved in Dong Da Si temple in Japan. Surprisingly, the stick looks similar to that used in modern field hockey now some 1,500 years later. In addition, the gesture of the boy looks almost the same as that of today＇s hockey player.     

Where did the Daur come from？

The name Khitan refers both to the name of a kingdom in Chinese history and also to an ethnic group. After the Ming Dynasty （1368-1644） the name Khitan was replaced by Daur. The great kingdom of Khitan, or Liao, was founded in 907 AD, when Yelu Abaoji was elected as head of all the tribes and ruled as Khan, or Emperor. From that time on, the Khitan people reigned across northern China, northern and central Asia for 307 years, co-existing with three other kingdoms, the Western Xia, Southern Song and Jin.
