Bloody BMW is called Tianma. The so-called famous horses in ancient China, such as Tianma, Xijima and Rouge Horse, were all produced in the Western Regions. "Rouge Horse" refers to Yanqi Horse, "Tianma" and "Xijima" refers to Wusun Horse.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once wrote the Song of Horses in the West Pole, saying that "Tianma came from the West Pole and returned to Germany through Wan Li ..." This is a story that has been told through the ages.
In the mythical image of China, Tianma is a galloping horse without horns and wings. In order to show the uniqueness of "Tianma", horses often draw clouds, which shows that Tianma can fly in the clouds. It is shaped like a white dog, with a black head. It flies when it sees people. It is called Tianma, and its songs boast itself.

Tracing back to history:
There is such a picture in the Han painting: a tiger bites the monster's thigh. The monster raised his arms and struggled in horror. At the same time, a winged horse rushed in
In the Western Han Dynasty, in order to meet the military needs of fighting against the northern nomadic Huns, the Han government attached great importance to the domestication of horses, not only encouraging ordinary people to raise horses, but also the government raised a large number of horses.
During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, the court set up 36 horse farms in Gansu and Shaanxi, raising 300,000 horses. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was an emperor who loved horses as much as his life. When he got a thoroughbred horse from Wusunguo in the Western Region, he was very excited to give him the reputation of "Tianma".
There is a kind of horse called "sweat blood" in Dawan country, which is better than that in Wusun country. It can travel thousands of miles every day. Because the sweat of this horse is red, it is named "Blood Horse". According to legend, the blood horse is a descendant of "Tianma", and later it landed on earth and became a good horse. In order to get the bloody horse, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not hesitate to exchange it with a golden horse.
He sent Han to use gold and silver treasures to buy horses in Dawan country. King Dawan not only didn't sell horses, but killed and robbed the Chinese ambassador. Soon, he sent Li Guangli from Yumenguan, crossed mountains and mountains, crossed the vast desert, walked for a long time, and finally brought back more than 3,000 thoroughbred horses from Dawan.
Because Dawanma is taller and stronger than Wusunma, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty named WusunMa Gaiming as "Xiji", and put the crown of "Tianma" on the head of "Blood Horse", and excitedly wrote a poem entitled "Xiji Tianma Song" to celebrate the acquisition of a good horse from the Western Regions.
The name "Tianma" is just a metaphor. Although it runs fast, it is far less than the real "Tianma" with wings that can fly in the sky.
