Tianma
Tianma was a winged 'celestial' horse in Chinese folklore, similar to the Pegasus of Classical European tradition.
In the Western Zhou Empire, Tianma referred to the "heavenly horse" constellation.[1] Tianma is also associated with the Han dynasty emperor Wudi, an aficionado of the Central Asian horse.[2]
