book review on Henry Nicholls, The Way of the Panda: The curious history of
China's political animal. Profile Books, 2011)
Quote: "Pandas were formally discovered quite late, in 1869 * * * they had
never been mentioned or depicted in Chinese literature or art. * * * Then
one day a French missionary and collector of animal specimens noticed a
strange black-and-white skin decorating the home of a Chinese hunter with
whom he was having tea. He promptly commissioned the locals to shoot him a
couple of the critters, and mailed their dried skins to a zoologist in Paris.
Note:
(a) Henry Nicholls
http://www.henrynicholls.com/1.html
(b) A.A. Milne
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._A._Milne
(1882-1956; English author)
(c) The quotation above depicted French Jesuit missionary Armand David.
(d) Giant panda
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant-panda
(section 5.1 Early references; section 8 Name)
section 5.2: "The first Westerner known to have seen a living giant panda is
the German zoologist Hugo Weigold, who purchased a cub in 1916. * * * In
1938, five giant pandas were sent to London.
The WSJ review states, "Madame Chiang Kai-shek had originated the practice
of giving out 'comical, black-and-white, furry pandas' as presents." This
alludes to the gift to London which traveled by ship through Singapore and
arrived at London in 1939.
