In Beijing, a unique 'black horse' over a thousand years old is on display
The National Museum of China has opened an exhibition titled "Galloping Forward," dedicated to the symbol of the upcoming year in the lunar calendar. As reported by the Telegram channel "Chinese Panorama," the project includes 120 valuable artifacts that illustrate the centuries-old relationship between humans and horses.

Organizing the exhibition required significant effort: six leading cultural institutions in the country were involved in the collaboration. Visitors can trace the evolution of the horse's image in culture, from its role in battles and as a symbol of imperial power to its significance in trade along the Silk Road.

Particular attention is drawn to a unique three-colored ceramic horse with a rare black glaze, dating back to the Tang dynasty, when Chinese art reached its peak. This exhibit is a true rarity: only two such figurines have been found in China.

In addition to ancient bronze items and exquisite figurines, the exhibition also features a modern section. An exclusive series of souvenirs has been developed for museum visitors, which includes both cute toys and stylish accessories, allowing them to engage with history in an interactive format.
