Seeing the Spirit of Horses

The year 2026 is the Year of the Horse. The pictures of horses can be seen here and there. Let’s learn about some famous horses in history.

Wuzhui (乌骓)

Wuzhui was the horse of Xiang Yu, a warlord (将领) from the late Qin Dynasty (221—206 BC). The horse was mostly black but its feet were as white as snow. Wuzhui was famous for its strength. It stayed with Xiang Yu for five years, and they won many fights together. In the stories, Xiang Yu killed himself near the Wujiang River. The horse followed him and jumped into the river too.

Dilu (的卢)

Dilu was the horse of Liu Bei, the founder of the Shu Kingdom (蜀国) in the Three Kingdoms period (220—280). Dilu could run very fast, but sometimes it didn’t listen to its owner. So people thought it could be dangerous. But in the stories, the horse saved Liu’s life by jumping across the Tanxi River. It was about 10 meters wide!

Chitu (赤兔)

Chitu was the horse of Lyu Bu, a warlord from the Three Kingdoms period. “Tu” refers to “菟”. That means a tiger in Chinese culture. The name shows how brave the horse was. Lyu was a strong man. With Chitu, he became even stronger. There is an old saying, “Lyu Bu was among the best warriors and Chitu—his horse—was the best of battle horses (人中吕布，马中赤兔).”

Horses are our great friends. In the past, these famous horses helped us in fights and made history. Now horses are still important in our lives. And they stand for courage and loyalty in Chinese culture.
