In our culture, a horse is more than just an animal. It's a symbol of freedom and strength, because even as a human companion, it retains the spirit of willful running.
From ancient battles and the Silk Road to the Olympic arenas, the horse has always been by our side as people crossed borders and moved forward.
On February 17, 2026, we celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year—the Year of the Horse. To celebrate, we presented a special series of programs, "Horse. Happiness. Spring. New Year!"
We'll uncover the symbolic meaning of the four noble horses, the mascots of the New Year's gala concert, discuss the Chinese cultural codes associated with these ancient graceful animals, and admire them in contemporary painting. You'll hear the legend of the morin khuur, the soul of the Mongolian steppe, and learn how the Year of the Horse guides people across cultures. And that's far from all we've been waiting for you!
The Year of the Horse is coming! Join us for the podcast series "Horse. Happiness. Spring. New Year!"
