In Chinese art, the horse symbolizes speed, strength, perseverance, and success. It is often associated with nobility and power, serving as a loyal companion of scholars and warriors alike. As a bearer of good fortune, the horse also represents advancement and ambition, particularly in the phrase ‘ma dao Chenggong (immediate success upon the arrival of the horse)’.
