In Chinese eyes "these galloping horses are not wild horses। They have both a dragon and a human nature। They are running and stampeding, free of all restraints। They are an image of imagination। It is a synthetic characteristic symbol, a symbol of freedom, a symbol of rising, a symbol of the Chinese nation on the point of lifting its head."

The history of Chinese horse painting is the history of Chinese civilization, a history that tells us that the Chinese are friendly as well as hostile to nature, their fellow human beings and horses. The spirit of horse painting also reflects all the sorrows, happiness and hopes of the Chinese nation over the last millennia.
