the spirit of dragon and horse is the national spirit of positive enterprising and unremitting struggle advocated by the Chinese nation since ancient times.

There is a story about the idiom Dragon Horse Spirit:

In the northwest of ancient China, there was a Huaxu country, and there was a lake called Leize in the country. It is said that Raytheon lived here; Not far from Leize, there is a Leihe River, where the people of Huaxu live in Hua Xushi. In this tribe, there is a girl named Hua Xu, whose son Fuxi knows how to learn from the past and learn from the present, and the people in the kingdom of Hua Xu elected him as the monarch of the kingdom of Hua Xu.

After that, Fuxi made great contributions in writing, writing calligraphy, making a calendar, adjusting marriage, weaving clothes, setting gifts, building palaces, building boats and cars, building an army to set surnames, making marriages and setting official positions. One day, Fuxi led his courtiers on a tour around the world. They came to the fast-flowing Meng He, but when they saw stones sandwiched between the two banks, they saw that the Meng He River was narrow and tortuous. Suddenly, a dragon horse flew from the far side of the Yellow River. It is eight feet five inches tall, and its long neck looks enormous. The skeleton has wings, and the edge of the wings has a circle of colored sideburns, which makes the sound harmonious and beautiful when the neck is whistling. I saw it walking in the waves, like walking on the ground. Fuxi can't help but do it one brace up, leading his ministers to watch by the river. When the dragon saw Fuxi flying out with his wings flapping, he went down the river and stood in front of Fuxi, giving the picture on his back to Fuxi. Fuxi unfolded the picture, only to see that it was painted with symbols composed of many dots and circles. Therefore, the picture shows the dragon and horse appearing from the Yellow River with their backs, so it is called "River Map".

Later, Fuxi thought hard about the changes of everything in the world. Accompanied by the dragon and the horse day and night, he finally found out the mystery contained in the symbols in River Map, and developed the Eight Diagrams as the "meteorological map" and "orientation map" in ancient nomadic times. The appearance of Dragon Horse may be a reward from God for Fuxi, who is known as the "ancestor of Chinese humanities", who never refused to push forward civilization and progress. The story of Dragon Horse reflects the working people's praise of hard exploration and positive enterprising spirit, and reflects the cultural tradition of China people's continuous self-improvement.

The image of a horse is elegant and noble. It has been revered and praised by people for thousands of years, and it is regarded as an auspicious and auspicious beast. The imagination that the ancients combined dragons and horses into a dragon and horse also came into being.

The ancients thought that the dragon horse was a benevolent horse, with a handsome image and a handsome posture. It was the spirit of the Yellow River and the embodiment of the descendants of the Chinese people, representing the spiritual subject and moral pursuit of the Chinese nation. In the world view of the ancients, they have regarded the dragon horse as the stem of pure yang, which is a symbol of vigor, brightness, enthusiasm, high, rising, fullness, prosperity and development.

The Book of Changes says:

"Doing is a horse", which Confucius attributed to "A gentleman strives for self-improvement!" This famous saying has been handed down from generation to generation in China.

The horse spirit is actually the human spirit. The image of the dragon and the horse, which are vigorous and beautiful, chasing the moon with stars, is a vivid portrayal of the Chinese nation's struggle to conquer nature, and it entrusts the great soul of China people to go forward bravely and stay up all night in order to overcome difficulties. The horse's spirit is thus rooted in the fertile soil of China people's spiritual life, and has become an optimistic spiritual wealth that inspires generations of Chinese people.

It is said that Zhou Muwang often travels around the world on eight fine horses. The name of the Eight Horses:

A stunning place, which can fly in the air without breaking the soil and landing its feet;

One is called feathering, which runs faster than a bird;

One is Benjing, who can travel in Wan Li at night;

One is called Super Shadow, which can run after the sun.

One is called Chaohui, and the color of horse hair is brilliant and radiant.

One is called Chaoguang, and a horse is followed by ten shadows;

One is called Tengwu, who drives a cloud when he is flying;

One is called Shouyi, who has wings on his body and can spread his wings and soar like a Dapeng in Wan Li.

Some ancient books imagined "Eight Horses" as eight kinds of horses with different colors, which were called Red Horse, Stealing Li, Bai Yi, Overriding Wheel, Shanzi, Qu Huang, Hua Li and Green Ear respectively.

The magical legends of these fine horses are used to describe all kinds of virtuous people. Zhou Muwang's Eight Horses is actually a metaphor for his talented and extraordinary talent group, each with its own strengths * * * assisting Zhou Wang to achieve great things in the world.

It can be seen that the Eight Horses are the power to help gentlemen govern the world. They worked hard for the state affairs with the King of Zhou, which reflected the ancient people's yearning for talented people to do their best and showed the pursuit of the spirit of dragon and horse.

There is a saying that "a good horse never turns back", which means that a truly excellent person will never turn back and always look forward when moving forward, so he will not be bound by the past and trivial details. This requires a spirit of transcendence. On the rugged road to overcome difficulties, only by throwing this kind of bag can we go forward bravely and then meet the more difficult rugged. Only by constantly surpassing ourselves can we constantly overcome higher difficulties, turn the rugged past into today's wealth, and reap the full fruits of hard work. Just like the positive implication conveyed by the flying bronze ware "Horse Treading on Swallows" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, galloping the previous horses is like a progressive human being, like a Chinese nation that has constantly overcome suffering and stood in the world.
