🐎 History meets horsepower! As Lunar New Year 2026 approaches, Beijing's National Museum of China has launched a stunning exhibition tracing the horse's 3,000-year journey through Chinese civilization. Opened this week, 'Galloping Forward' features rare artifacts from every dynasty – think Tang-era saddles and Ming dynasty scrolls showing imperial polo matches.
📜 The showstopper? A life-sized hologram of Emperor Taizong's legendary warhorse, complete with augmented reality features that let visitors 'ride' through historical battlefields. Curator Dr. Li Wei tells us: 'Horses carried not just warriors, but the spirit of cultural exchange across the Silk Road.'
🌾 Modern twists include TikTok-friendly photo ops with LED-lit zodiac installations and a section comparing ancient horse messengers to today's delivery apps. Perfect timing for young travelers – the museum plans extended hours through the Spring Festival holiday (Feb 8-15). Pro tip: Grab the AR-enabled guidebook for hidden emoji scavenger hunts! 🎋
