The word cowboy comes from Spanish. When the Spaniards arrived in America in the15th century, they also introduced their own methods of domesticating livestock to America, leaving their marks in today's Mexico, the western United States and Canada. Cowboys rode horses and drove herds of longhorns around the United States. By then, the total number of these longhorns may be several million. Cowboys' unique clothing, language, songs, entertainment, etc. Deducted by legendary figures, it becomes the source of cowboy culture in the future. The life of early cowboys was full of hardships. They had to overcome their long-term loneliness, guard against the attacks of wild animals and thieves, and endure the meager salary, which injected frankness, wildness and adventurous spirit into their character. After the American Civil War, it began to "move westward", and the cowboy who drove cattle was one of the earliest pioneers in the western United States. With the rise of railways and pastures in the 20th century, cowboys in the western United States began to die out, but cowboy culture was deeply rooted in American culture. American western literature without cowboys is almost unimaginable. The cowboy image also appears widely on the stage and screen. In 1930s, cowboy movies in the western United States brought the wild but honest "American cowboy" to the whole world. Although this image is inconsistent with the facts, it is deeply loved by the people because it adds a lot of romanticism and heroism. A typical cowboy always wears a felt hat, riding boots and a dagger or spear at his waist. Today, people can only see this kind of clothing in performances, but their lifestyle has quietly affected the lives of ordinary people. Rough canvas pants suitable for cowboy work have become fashionable "jeans"; Cowboy hats are still necessary for farmers in the Midwest of the United States to go out; Long-term outdoor life forced cowboys to use simple and durable daily necessities, and now many tourist products also follow this design style. In fact, cowboys help people drive cattle after all. But at that time, there was no road in the west, so the place where the cows stepped on became the "cow road", which can be regarded as the originator of today's expressway, and the place where the cowboys stopped was called the "cow station", which is the embryonic form of the western city. In this way, transporting cattle has risen to the height of "western development", and cowboys are of course the pioneers of "western development", so Niuguan has turned into a hero and has been deified by word of mouth.
