Mongolian Horse Tool Making Skills
The Mongolian horse harness making technique is a handicraft in Horqin left-wing Houqi area of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The production technology of horseback is accompanied by the "horseback nation" from ancient times to today. Kezuo Houqi Horse Flag is a kind of handicraftsman's harness, which has outstanding characteristics compared with saddles made by other nationalities and regions, such as excellent production technology, exquisite materials, gorgeous decoration and comfortable use. For example, Anqiao is made from the root of willow or elm trees over 100 years old in Horqin sandy land, which is beautiful and durable. Horse bridges, whips, pigtails, carriages and horsewear are made of bristles, leather, canvas, jades, metals, etc. Its production involves woodworking tools, blacksmith tools, cobbler tools, embroidery tools and other tools. Therefore, it is a Mongolian folk handicraft that integrates woodworking technology, metal technology, embroidery technology and leather weaving technology.
On June 7, 2008, Mongolian horse harness making skills were approved by the State Council and included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.

Inheritor
There is a "horse idiot" in Duolun County, Inner Mongolia. His name is Ma Dongsheng. He not only loves horses as expected, but also builds debts because of his collection of horses.
Although Ma Dongsheng has known his destiny, he looks steady, honest and quiet, while he and his horseback museum are a cultural card of Duolun County.
Duolun became a commercial port in Monan and a holy place of Tibetan Buddhism because of the alliance of Kangxi and the building of Huizong Temple. The imprint of history can still be found in today's streets and alleys. Ma Dongsheng's Horse Tool Museum is a trade name built at the same time with Huizong Temple. Though it has gone through 300 years of vicissitudes and lost its grace and nobility, it is simple and magnificent. It is integrated with the horses of different dynasties, which are scattered in it, and together releases the rugged, bold and galloping cultural atmosphere of the northern nomadic peoples.
Ma Dongsheng's Toronto Horseware Museum has only been registered with the Cultural Heritage Bureau of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region for three years, but he has spent almost half his life on the dream of the Horseware Museum.
Ma Dongsheng is a Muslim, and his ancestors did business in Toronto. Muslims love horses as much as Mongolians. Ma Dongsheng's ancestors were good at training, pressing and pedaling horses while doing business. At that time, every household raised horses, and every household also had harnesses. Horses and harnesses naturally merged into people's daily life, which did not show much importance. However, when horses and people's lives are getting farther and farther away, the harness and its culture are becoming more and more precious. Ma Dongsheng suddenly felt a historical burden on his shoulders. From that moment on, he regarded the collection of saddles as a cultural responsibility. He gathered sand into towers and armpits into furs. He insisted on earning more than 300 saddles and more than 3000 different kinds of harnesses in different historical periods. It is said that it is easy to collect a set of saddles, but rather difficult to collect a set of saddles, because a complete set of saddles includes stirrups, sticks, whips, horses and other hundreds of decorations.
Historically, Toronto was not only a trading market for various famous horses, but also a production base for horses. In its heyday, there were more than 50 workshops and more than 30 famous products for processing saddles in Toronto. Most of the craftsmen who made saddles in Toronto were descended from their ancestors. They made saddles with exquisite craftsmanship, beautiful appearance, durability and comfortable ride. Some people have done experiments. First they put a piece of hemp paper on the horse's back, then they put saddles from Toronto's craftsmen'hands on the horse and galloped along. When the saddles were unloaded, the hemp paper was as good as before.
Although Ma Dongsheng is not good at words, he talks about Toronto's saddle production and the culture it contains. He put up a saddle, and the three big characters "Tianxing" on the left saddle board were striking. He said it was equivalent to today's trademark. With the passage of time and the changes of society, the once brilliant saddle making technology of Toronto is almost lost. Only 67-year-old craftsman Zhao Xiuwen and a few others are still persistent.
Ma Dongsheng's collection contains two saddles related to Qing emperors and Tibetan Buddhism, which are rare treasures. The saddle in the early years was made of iron and gold. From the analysis of the pattern of the front bridge, it was used by the emperor when he inspected the army or went out for battle. The front bridge was decorated with twigs and stripes, and was magnificent, with Falun in the middle, two abstract deer on both sides and Erlong Dragon Drama Pearl below. In the early Qing Dynasty, wars were frequent, and the emperor often drove his own expedition. This saddle implied that Buddha blessed the emperor to go on a safe and auspicious expedition. It may be a tribute offered by Buddhist monks. The other saddle is also a tribute, but its workmanship and implication are slightly different. The silver gold front bridge decoration is inlaid with two vivid golden dragons. Each dragon claw holds a Tibetan Buddhist magic weapon. Between the two dragon mouths is a vivid vase, changing the "two dragon opera jewelry" into "two dragon opera jewelry". Bottle metaphor "Buddhism is deep and strong, gathering happiness and wisdom is complete and sufficient, such as a vase without leakage". This kind of rich Tibetan Buddhist culture is embodied in a unique design and production on a saddle front bridge, which can be regarded as a fine product.
If politics, military affairs and religion can be read in the saddles mentioned above, then the saddles used by ordinary herdsmen reflect beliefs, totems, wisdom, piety and life. In Ma Dongsheng's collection, there is a unique saddle, which is neither inlaid with gold nor silver. Its uniqueness lies in that the front bridge is a vivid wolf's head. Painting, carving, carving and dyeing are all done by herdsmen, which is an intuitive reflection of herdsmen's psychology and a true portrayal of herdsmen's life.
Ma Dongsheng's stirrups also release rich historical and cultural information. In Liao Dynasty, wars were frequent, and defeat and captivity were common. Ma Dongsheng's collection includes several bronze bamboo stirrups of Liao Dynasty, which implies that "no matter defeated or captured, they should be as respectful as bamboo, but can not be changed".
Ma Dongsheng has one big ambition: to build the largest and most complete Museum of horse harness in China. For this dream, he lived a very hard and difficult life. His and his wife's salaries of nearly 10,000 yuan a month are mostly used to pay high interest on the debts they incurred from collecting harness. But he lived happily, and his efforts and efforts were recognized by the Duolun County Committee and the county government. The cultural industry park under construction has planned a 3,000 square meters horseback Museum for him. He said that with the completion of the new pavilion, the realization of the dream is just around the corner.
