A rubbing of an image of Ferghana horses (or "heavenly horses") discovered in a tomb dating back to the Han Dynasty period.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: A rubbing of an image of Ferghana horses (or "heavenly horses") discovered in a tomb dating back to the Han Dynasty period. "战斗中的汗血宝马在互相撕咬，大声咆哮，充斥着浓烈的雄性荷尔蒙的味道。"

"This translates as:"

"“In the midst of battle, the sweating-blood horses bite each other, roaring loudly, and having the strong smell of male hormones.“"

This is a reference to an ancient Chinese legend which tries to explain the origin of the Ferghana horses. "According to legend, these horses were a hybrid of a horse and a dragon. If they stepped on a stone, the stone would be crushed into powder." These horses were said to have immense power compared to other races of horses, in fact they have been mentioned as also having exceptional speed. "Ancient literary works describe these horses as able to travel 1,000 li (里) during the day and 800 li at night while ordinary horses were only able to travel 150-200 li a day. (During the Han dynasty, a li was equal to about 0.25 mile (416 meters) so a distance of 1,000 li was equivalent to about 250 miles.) " Though it is not known today if these stories were accurate or not, as these horses aren't known to exist in the modern period.
