"马踏飞燕"
"A Galloping Horse's Hoof Stepped on a Flying Swallow"
A Brief Introduction to the National Treasure of China

By Manfield Zhu

On both sides of the Silk-Road of China, a group of horses galloping across the grassland or prairie is still one of the most impressive landscapes. The Northwest land looks like a long corridor in which uncountable historical stories took place, and more and more historical relics had been discovered.

Of the most valuable and important discoveries is "A Galloping Horse’s Hoof Stepped on a Flying Swallow" as a bronze-made statue hidden in a brick tomb during the late period of the East-Han Dynasty (A.D.25-220). Simultaneously the "Bronze Heavenly Steed" and "A Horse Surpassing over the Dragon-Swallow" were excavated out. Since being exhibited, in October 1969, the unearthed relics have attracted all the visitors’ attention both in China and all over the world. "A Galloping Horse’s Hoof Stepped on a Flying Swallow" as an artistic article was made approximately in 168 or 172. The bronze statue described a galloping horse so fast that a flying swallow could hardly escape from his stepping hoofs. And at the same time we could know how much stronger and how lovely all the horses in the local people’s mind at that region. The right location or the unearthing site of the relics is Wu-Wei, Gansu Province (The two Chinese characters roughly mean the Military Awe-inspiring Style). In ancient times it was known for its meadow with Heavenly Steeds. Once there was a million-acre military-horse training base not far away from the city. The special meadow has lasted for three thousands of years. It is clear that all of the people at the region are very familiar with horses and all of them love horses very much. Training horses is their inseparable part of daily life. The artistic bronze statue shows the people’s deep affection to horses.
