Origin of the Zodiac Sign Horse
In ancient China, the horse had wings. So the horse was called Divine Stallion (天马 [tiān mǎ]). As a powerful animal, tiān mǎ can run on the land, swim in the sea, fly in the sky. Then the horse was promoted to the guard to stand in front of the emperor’s office. One day, he killed an important governor of the East Sea in China. Then the emperor sent it to earth as a punishment.
The horse worked very hard to alleviate his crime. In peaceful time, the horse pulled the farming machine and transported goods without any complaints. In wartime, the horse in armor became soldier’s good partner. Since then, the horse and humans had been close friends. When the emperor initiated to select 12 zodiac animals to mark different years, humans suggested that the horse should be one of the 12 animals. At that time, the horse became the zodiac animal, marking one special year in every 12 years.
