铸铜马的文化

在我国虽然现在虽然已经很少能见到铜马了，但是在有代步工具之前，马依然是我们使用最多的交通工具。在古代的时候马在人们心中的地位是非常高的，在我国传统文化中，铸铜马文化也占据了很大一部分。

Although in our country now although has rarely seen the bronze horse, but before there are transportation tools, the horse is still our most used means of transportation. In ancient times, the horse is very high in people's hearts, in our traditional culture, the cast bronze horse culture also occupies a large part.

马是一种食草性的动物，早在四千多年以前，我国的祖先就已经驯服了马了，马在我国的历史非常长久。在古时候人们常常会把马和龙并称，把马称呼为“生长地上的龙”，在很多传说、诗词、故事、成语中都能看到马的身影。

The horse is a kind of herbivorous animal. As early as 4,000 years ago, our ancestors had tamed the horse. The horse has a very long history in our country. In ancient times, people often called the horse and the dragon and called the horse "the dragon that grows on the earth". In many legends, poems, stories and idioms, we can see the figure of the horse.

我们现在经常会在古装电视剧中见到马，马的形象都是非常雄壮的，但是在远古时期马并不是像现在这么英武的，而是体型非常的小，就像小狐狸一样，四肢也非常瘦弱，跑得也并不快，非常容易就被自己的天敌和人类抓住了。

Now we often see horses in ancient TV dramas, and the images of horses are very magnificent. However, in ancient times, horses were not as brave as they are now. They were very small, just like little foxes, with very weak limbs and slow running, and were easily caught by their natural enemies and human beings.

但是为了在生物圈中存活下去，经过了几百万年的进化，铸铜马最终变成了我们现在熟悉的形象，有着健壮的四肢以及高大的身材，这种奋进的精神是非常让人崇敬的，因此有了龙马精神的这个词语。

But in order to survive in the biosphere, after millions of years of evolution, the cast bronze horse eventually became the figure we are familiar with today, with strong limbs and tall bodies, and this spirit of struggle is so revered that the term dragon-horse spirit comes from it.
