The Year of the Horse 2026 witnesses a strong presence of the horse mascot in all aspects of life, from art and spiritual beliefs to traditional Tet spaces.
Symbol of strength and breakthrough aspirations
In the flow of East Asian culture, the horse has long been regarded as a symbol of strength, speed, and free spirit. In Vietnam, this animal's image carries not only material meaning but also deep spiritual values in Vietnamese people's consciousness.
Horses are known for their endurance, intelligence, and loyalty, yet they are associated with impatience, arrogance, and unruliness. It is precisely this complexity that has allowed the image of horses to permeate Vietnamese life in a natural and deeply rooted way, enriching the nation’s spiritual and cultural landscape.
In history, from the Trung sisters’ uprising to the Ly-Tran dynasties, horses played a crucial military role while becoming symbols of power. Horse images are carved on stone steles, worship statues, and bas-reliefs at many relics, embodying bravery and enduring vitality.
Paper horses and wooden horses in traditional rituals continue to affirm this symbol's lasting position in spiritual life. For many folk artisans, the horse is not just aesthetically beautiful but also represents loyalty, willpower, and ceaseless momentum.
