“Among the animals, the horse is the best example of Yi (righteousness, integrity). It has the refined skill (gong) of galloping. The horse’s internal attribute is intent and focus, which arises from the heart/mind. If movements are smooth and flowing, intent is stable.”—Sun Lutang, A Study of Xingyi Quan, translated by Ken Cohen

The horse is closely connected with the roots of Taoism and Chinese culture. It was the markings on a spirit horse (literally "dragon horse") that first represented the Five Elements and inspired Fu Xi to create the Eight Trigrams.

The Horse also plays a role in Qigong and Martial Arts. In the Chinese New Year Class this Tuesday (just a few spaces left) I will teach the Xingyi Quan Horse form.
