Development history

Horse culture is a branch of human culture, which reflects the relationship between human and horse. It includes human's understanding, domestication, servitude, art, literature and sports activities about horses. China is one of the countries with the longest history of horse breeding in the world, and also one of the countries with relatively developed horse culture. In Chinese culture, art, people's life and production, horse occupies a very important position, which shows the rich degree of Chinese "horse culture" in history.

The overlord killed himself in Wujiang River and jumped to death on her horse.
