Behold Night-Shining White, a masterpiece by artist Han Gan of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), which depicts Tang Emperor Xuanzong's cherished horse. The painting captures the robust steed, tethered to a wooden post, yet raising its head and straining against the rope, brimming with boundless vitality and a yearning for freedom. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) showed his admiration by affixing 26 seals to the painting. As we welcome the Year of the Horse, let us tip our hats to this legendary steed!
