A popular theme for porcelain decoration from the 17th century, the story of the ‘Eight Horses of Muwang’ originates from the historical romance entitled Mu tianzhi zhuan, which is the account of the journey of the fifth emperor of the Zhou dynasty to meet Xiwangmu, the Queen Mother of the West with the aim to become immortal. His chariot was driven by the brave Zaofu and pulled by eight wonderful horses.
