Regarding the name of this horse, many experts have always named it from different angles, and finally named it as the Eastern Han Dynasty copper horse, which is also the recognized name, in addition to the horse stepping dragon, flying swallow, purple swallow , Tianma, Ma Shen Tian Hao, Ma Tiao Feiyan and so on. There are so many sayings about the naming of a work of art, which is unique in the history of art, showing its great influence in the history of art. The difference between these different claims is the type of bird that the horse is riding on. In addition, there is a compromise statement - copper running horse, this name is very flat, there will be no mistakes, but also avoid the identification of the nature of the bird-shaped base itself. It is certain from the above analysis that the practice of adding a bird-shaped base under the foot of the horse is an innovation of this sculpture.

    the East Han Dynasty copper running horse with a bird-shaped base is also a creation in art. The author combines the practical functions of the base with the artistic creation while fixing the running horse. This bold and ingenious approach adds to the artistic effect of the work. In fact, the practice of using components to achieve practical and aesthetic purposes is common in the Han Dynasty. For example, the famous Changxin official lamp is the combination of sculpture and lamp, and the method of using the sleeve of the palace as the exhaust pipe. It is not too difficult to shape the realistic image of a horse. However, it is not so easy to express a dynamic object, especially to express the speed of a horse that is going on a thousand miles. But the producers are ingenious, using the combination of realism and romanticism, combining the galloping horse with the flying birds, and boldly letting the horse's right hind foot step on a flying bird. This will set off the rapidity of the horse, so that a static copper horse can be presented in front of people. The body of the Eastern Han Dynasty copper horse is thick and round, but its movement is light, and the whole body weight is placed on a small bird with one foot. This is obviously a careful calculation. The bird seems to be looking back with surprise and horrified at the unexpected encounter with the running horse. It is simply a true reappearance of "the whip is only a common bird."

The Eastern Han Dynasty Copper Horse is a fine work of bronze art in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The style of the East Han Dynasty copper horses actually used the image of the running horses at that time, and creatively added the birds, which not only played a fixed role in practice, but also increased the momentum of Ma Feiben. But it is different from the creation of modern and contemporary individual artists, but a stylized creative mode. It uses the shape of the running horse at that time, and adds bird shape under the horse's foot to support stability. This is a Creation. On the whole, the Eastern Han Dynasty copper running horse is a manifestation of the heroic spirit of the Han Dynasty and the spirit of high spirits, reflecting the strength and richness of the Han Dynasty.
