Animal Form Martial Arts of Kralorela
Hsunchen people in a sence denied their humanity for their tolerance of
bestiality (beastliness? in Whitewolf Vampire-Masquerade-like Sense?),
and Gloranthan relativism can neglect human-centralized point of view from
modern cause-humanism in some degree.
In my opinion, Chinese culture relied on another human-centralism in Confucianism
of noble culture, Chinese nobility culture has distaste to Greek style
gymnasions like Jews. while martial arts are lowbrow and foreign flavoured
culture like overly influenced by Mahayana Buddhism and witch-doctorish
Taoism Style. (I think Gloranthan Kralorelan bent to this current structure
owed largely to Hollywood and HongKong Movies. But I cannot believe a human
without tool or handweapon, or cultural structure overly powered. But of
course, Glorantha is Fantasy world.)
Chinese Culture has generosity in another sense against that of Westerners,
and has enlarged their cultural sphere of influence by this idealism.(please
think about this influence once involved Vietnam, Mongol, Manchurian etc...)
New Dragon Ring Rule in Second Age has IMO, much similarity to 19th century
European colonial Era or Mongol oppression, poor oppressed natives would
rebel without sufficient supplies, and made secret societies and mafia
style system, but Godunyan Era affords more than this. so I think Hsunchen
association to Martial artist sects has credibility for my sense of fun.
