On the one hand, the spread of these legends enriches the content of the zodiac, on the other hand, it also promotes the inheritance and development of the zodiac culture. Pioneer national defense is a zodiac horse. In ancient battlefields, horses were usually used as mounts, fighting with their owners to kill the enemy, and taking the lead in the army to defend the country. As the head of the six beasts, horse is a powerful military equipment besides transportation.

Brief introduction of the horse:

Horses are herbivores. Tamed by humans 4000 years ago. The horse of Przewalski's gazelle (66 chromosomes) and domestic horse (64 chromosomes) can cross to produce fertile offspring. In ancient times, horses were the main driving force of agricultural production, transportation and military activities. There are about 200 kinds of horses in the world.

With the development of productive forces, the improvement of science and technology, the invention and wide application of power machinery, the role of horses in real life is becoming less and less. Horses are mainly used for equestrian sports and milk and meat production, and the feeding quantity is greatly reduced. However, in some developing countries and regions, horses are still mainly used for service and are an important source of service strength. The horse's staple food is grass.
