In China, are horses considered lucky?
The Horse has ridden through the fires and smoke of ancient battles with its strength and faithfulness throughout human history, and it now represents the Chinese people’s unbreakable spirit.
It is preferable to trace the Horse’s spirit back through human history, since this will help us grasp that the Horse is mankind’s most personal and loyal companion. The hero who guards his home and defends his country, punishes evildoers, and strives for justice is symbolized by the horse racing across the battlefield.
The Horse’s spirit and charm are vital spiritual benefits for posterity, and the daring and uncontrolled spirit of the Horse can still inspire a man with enormous passion to fight nature, his foes, and even himself.
Because of its tameness, the horse has become a human companion. Before the Warring States Period, it drew carts rather than men, and people rarely rode horses (475 BC-221 BC). It wasn’t until then that the ancient people of China’s Central Plain began to learn how to ride from the Huns, and the Horse was used for hunting and killing on the battlefields.
The Horse’s talent shines brightest in the battlefield, where it is fiercely competitive while remaining loyal to its master.
