Literature comparison:
Hawks were widely depicted in Chinese art and the flying of hawks was a pursuit of emperors and the nobility. For three various models of hawk figures see Michael Cohen and William Motley, Mandarin and Menagerie, Reigate, 2008, pp. 268-271. The authors note that hawks in Chinese are known as ‘ying’, a homophone for ‘heroic’, and that a hawk on a rock is a symbol of heroism standing fast in the world.
