2. As a tourist symbol of China, the bronze galloping horse "Flying Swallow on horseback" of the Eastern Han Dynasty was unearthed in Wuwei, Gansu on June 1969. It is 34.5 cm high and has a flying bird attached to its right hind hoof, which not only shows its high romantic artistic conception, but also stabilizes the center of gravity of the bronze horse figurine itself, which is unparalleled in ancient bronze art in China.
3. Every part of the horse's body is extremely perfect and symmetrical, with powerful posture and precise balance.
4. This horse with four hooves spread out and running at full speed is vigorous and powerful, with its head held high, its tail wagged, its head slightly to the left, its three legs flying, and only its right hind foot landed on the back of a sparrow flying with its wings spread. The stout and round body of the steed shows its great strength, but its movements are so light that people seem to forget that it puts all its weight on a swallow with only one foot. It screamed, its mane and tail fluttering in the wind, full of "unconstrained style" pride; Yan Fei seems to be looking back and surprised at his unexpected meeting with Ma Ben.
5. Its galloping shows the dynamics of horses galloping and swallows flying incisively and vividly, which embodies the moving moment of horses and swallows competing for the first place, and subtly sets off the lightness of horseshoes and the flying of horse manes and ponytails, just like a wild horse, which surprises swallows at its weight and adds the aura of copper galloping horses in the air.
6, this is simply the true reappearance of the ancient poem "Whip a bird to fly"! Needless to say, "Swallow to Horse", whether it is its expression or the brilliance of casting technology. What is even more impressive is its wonderful creativity. As we all know, it is not too difficult to shape the image of a good and healthy horse. However, it is not so easy to show the movement of a still life, especially to show that a good horse travels thousands of miles every day. However, we unknown artists can creatively and boldly carry out ingenious ideas and let the horse's right hind hoof set foot on a swallow flying in the air. In this way, by lining the horse with swallows, we can clearly see the speed of flying swallows and galloping horses, let the momentum of galloping horses solidify in the still space, and sculpt, animate and destroy a still copper horse!
7. "Flying Swallows on Horses" is the crystallization of artists' high wisdom, rich imagination, romantic spirit and superb artistic skills in the Han Dynasty, and it is a rare treasure in the ancient sculpture art in China. Ancient craftsmen in China used the artistic technique of combining realism with romanticism, combined galloping horses with flying birds wonderfully with rich imagination, ingenious ideas and skillful skills, and set off galloping horses with the swiftness of flying birds, with vivid shapes and ingenious ideas, and combined the bold momentum of galloping horses with the simple and stable mechanical structure. Its vigorous vitality and indomitable momentum are symbols of the Chinese nation.
