Horse Fei Yan

Have to admire the skill of the ancients, this horse Fei Yan production is exquisite, the image of the stallion galloping perfectly presented. Although the bronze horse is dead, but when people see it, naturally recall its original form, is a galloping horse in the vast plains. Speaking of this horse steed, it was discovered in 1969 by a production team in Wuwei, Gansu Province, while digging an air-raid shelter.

At that time, there were 39 bronze steeds in the tomb, among which was this bronze galloping horse. It is said that this bronze horse had a swallow under its feet, so it was also known as the Horse Treading Flying Swallow. But whether it was a swallow or not is still controversial, and some people believe that it was a dragon finch underneath. Whatever it is, it is an image of a galloping horse.

However, careful people will find, no matter where to see this horse treading swallows, are only side photos, rarely see the front picture. The reason for this is ridiculous, that is, the front of the horse is a bit funny. From the front to see this copper horse, completely out of the image of the mighty, the two front hooves like a chicken claw, behind a horse leg up, can only see a leg, overall like a lame chicken. And the horse's head is tilted sideways, looking funny.

It is said that the horse's head side crooked there is a very deep learning, the direction of the horse's head crooked just in line with the principle of mechanics, to help the horse to maintain balance, enough to reflect the wisdom of the ancient people. Although the copper galloping horse production is very fine, but because the front can not reflect its dominance, so in the shooting, people often do not choose the front.
