銅馬雕塑的鑒賞
以馬為創作題材的銅馬雕塑，最早見于殷商時期，歷代所見不多。在我國的文化、藝術中，馬占據了很重要的地位。如果將有關馬的內容從我國的文化史中抽出，那留下的文化典籍和藝術作品將會殘缺不全甚至慘不忍睹。
The sculpture with horse as its subject matter was first seen in the Yin and Shang Dynasties. In our country's culture and art, horse occupies a very important position. If the content about horse is extracted from the cultural history of our country, the cultural classics and art works left behind will be incomplete or even miserable.
馬所擁有的與其它動物不同的自身價值——力量、速度及對人們在生活生產中的作用。自從開始馴化馬，它就在不斷地推動著社會歷史的進程和時代的發展，也為工農業的發展做出了不可磨滅的功勛。而在不同地區不同民族。
Horse has its own value different from other animals -- strength, speed and its role in people's life and production. Since the beginning of domestication of horse, it has constantly promoted the process of social history and the development of the times, and also made indelible contributions to the development of industry and agriculture. But in different areas, different nationalities.
馬在人們生活生產中扮演的角色不盡相同，在這個過程中也漸漸地形成了豐富多彩的各地不同馬文化，不僅如此，馬也影響了人類活動的其他方面。在我國悠久的歷史上，馬在人類生活、生產起到了重要作用，以至于評價功績比喻為“汗馬功勞”。
Horses play different roles in people's life and production. In this process, different horse cultures have gradually formed. Not only that, horses also affect other aspects of human activities. In China's long history, horse has played an important role in human life and production, so that the evaluation of merit is compared to "sweat horse merit".
可見我國“馬文化”在歷史上的豐厚程度。新疆農業大學的馬學專家介紹說，我國是世界上養馬歷史最悠久的國家之一，也是馬文化比較發達的國家之一。早在5000多年前已用馬駕車，殷代即開始設立馬政，是世界上最早的馬政雛型。
It can be seen that China's "horse culture" is rich in history. Horse experts from Xinjiang Agricultural University said that China is one of the countries with the longest history of horse breeding in the world and one of the countries with relatively developed horse culture. As early as 5000 years ago, the horse was used to drive, and the horse administration was set up in the Yin Dynasty, which was the earliest prototype of horse administration in the world.
