AbstractThe article presents an examination into the cultural and literary treatment of the rhinoceros in China during the era of the Tang dynasty. Subjects addressed include the religious symbolism attributed to the rhinoceros and its horn within 8th-century Chinese Buddhism, the cultural association of the rhinoceros as exotic rather than local, and references to the "chicken-scaring rhinoceros" by the scholar Dongshan Liangjie.
