Summary of Year of the Horse
The unknown eighteenth-century author investigates the horse and its significance in Chinese myth, culture and astrology, guiding the reader through their own astrological profile, and tracing the horse's depiction in classic Chinese literature and folktale. This beautifully illustrated journal celebrates the horse in all its guises, from the thundering war steed of the ancient Chinese warriors, to the gentle and mystical Qi-Lin whose appearance fortells the birth of a great Emperor. Full of digressions and incidental details, the sketchbook style of both prose and pictures gives a glimpse of the dreams and daily life of China when it was a world within itself.Subjects Books
