What year is the afternoon horse in the zodiac?

Name of earthly branch

Horses belong to one of the 12 Zodiacs, and the local name is "Wu". According to the theory of five elements in traditional culture, noon is a fire, so it has the symbolic significance of enthusiasm, boldness and fearlessness. Horses represent strength, speed, courage and freedom.

In ancient China mythology, horses often appeared. According to legend, there was a horse named "Tianma" in ancient times. It can fly in the sky, swim in the water, run on the ground, and make a royal horse in front of the Jade Emperor Temple.

But because of the jade emperor's favor, Tianma became arrogant and often ran amok. One day, Tianma went straight to the East China Sea and broke into the Dragon Palace. However, the tortoise and the shrimp soldier crab guarding the Dragon Palace stopped them together. Tianma became angry from embarrassment. After kicking off the gatekeeper Gui Gui, he was ordered by the Jade Emperor to cut off his wings and press them at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and he could not turn over for three hundred years.

More than 200 years later, when our ancestors passed through Kunlun Mountain, they got help from Tianma. According to Tianma, he cut down the peach tree at the top of the mountain and heard a loud noise. Tianma jumped out from the bottom of Kunlun Mountain.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is a famous story-"Xuande borrowed a horse". Liu Bei was once unable to move forward because of Wye's long journey and heavy luggage. In a dilemma, he met an old man who presented his swift horse, the Red Rabbit, so that Liu Bei could cross the rugged mountain road smoothly.

This story has spread to this day and has become a widely circulated folklore. People regard Red Rabbit Horse as a symbol of courage, loyalty and dedication, and it is an unforgettable classic image in the history of China.
