A brief introduction to the tourist graphic symbol Tianma in China

Tianma, a tourist symbol of China, a famous cultural relic of the Eastern Han Dynasty in China and a bronze horse handicraft, was unearthed in the Eastern Han Tomb of Leitai, Wuwei, Gansu.

Its head is short and its neck is long, its body is round, its trunk is stout, its limbs are slender, its tail is curved and its mouth is screaming. Under the right hind hoof with flying hooves, a swallow spread its wings and flew, hence the name "Ma Tayan". Later, according to historical research, Zhang Heng's "Tokyo Fu" in the Eastern Han Dynasty said: "Although the sparrow is complex, the horse is half-Han." The Book of the Later Han Dynasty also recorded that "Ming Di went to Chang 'an to marry Fei Lian and a bronze horse", so it was renamed "Malone Chaoque" or "Tianma" for short.

1985, Ma Chaolong Que was selected as the graphic symbol of China tourism. The direct reason is that when it was exhibited in the United States, the bronze galloping horse jumped onto a huge poster and became a graphic symbol of the cultural relics exhibition. Therefore, in the selection of tourist signs in China, it won the first place among thousands of precious cultural relics.
