In ancient Chinese mythology, the Jian Ma （建马) is an extremely mysterious and honorable creature. It not only possessed extraordinary appearance, but also played an important role in the heavenly realm.
Jian Ma, also known as Long Ma (龙马), was born from Ying Long (应龙) and Tian Ma (天马).
It has the body of a horse but the tail of Long, is covered with shining Long scales, and has feathered wings on its back.
The speed of the Jian Ma can be described as “a thousand miles in an instant”, which makes it an extremely rare existence in the Heavenly Realm.
In the Celestial Realm, Jian Ma is mainly responsible for delivering important information, and is the best mount in war.
On the battlefield, the Jian Ma can travel thousands of miles in an instant between the enemy and us, contributing to the victory of the battle.
The generals who rode on Jian Ma were often able to gain a greater advantage on the battlefield, and became the existence of the enemy’s fear.
This extraordinary ability and noble status made the Jian Ma a highly revered presence in myths and legends.
Jian Ma also gave birth to the even more magical Qi Lin. The Qi Lin, a mythical beast of ancient times, symbolizes good fortune and peace.
Not only does the Jian Ma play an important role in the heavenly realm, it is also imbued with rich symbolism in ancient cultures.
It symbolizes the power of life and the magic of nature, representing new life, hope and strength.
In ancient cultures, the Jian Ma was regarded as a symbol of good fortune and was often used in traditional architecture, crafts and literature to express the qualities of loyalty, courage, diligence and honesty.
