Every Horse Carries a Legacy
The Imperial Six Steeds are among the most revered treasures of Chinese civilization — the six legendary war horses of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty , carved in stone beside his tomb in 636 AD to commemorate the steeds that carried him through the battles that founded the Tang Empire.
A Legacy of Imperial Success
Master Xi Art — Where tradition meets prosperity.
Explore traditional symbolism of leadership and imperial achievement. Gold content: 60 mg of 24K (999 fine) gold in a decorative component made using a hydraulic-press/embossing process. Some traditions describe consecration rituals in connection with cultural objects. This is cultural background only; it does not state that this item underwent a ceremony or promise any result. This Six Steeds artwork reflects themes of loyalty, battlefield courage, and founding spirit of Emperor Taizong's legendary war horses — a timeless symbol of victory against all odds.
Six Steeds, Six Stories of Glory
Saluzi — The purple steed. During the siege of Luoyang, Emperor Taizong was separated from his guards. Saluzi was struck by an arrow. General Qiu Xinggong rushed to pull the arrow from the horse's chest. This is the only relief featuring a human figure, honoring both the horse's sacrifice and the general's loyalty.
Quanmaogua — The yellow steed with a black muzzle and curly mane. Wounded by nine arrows during the campaign against Liu Heida — six in the front, three in the back — a testament to the brutality of war and the horse's endurance.
Baitiwu — The pure black steed with four white hooves. Ridden during the defeat of Xue Rengao. The relief captures it rearing up, eyes fierce, hooves flying — the very image of unstoppable fury.
Telebiao — The yellow steed with a white muzzle. Ridden during the campaign against Song Jingang. "Tele" is a Turkic noble title, reflecting the Tang Dynasty's open embrace of foreign cultures.
Qingzhui — The pale dappled steed. Ridden during the defeat of Dou Jiande. Struck by five arrows, all from frontal charges — proof of its fearless leadership from the front.
Shifachi — The pure red steed. Ridden in the decisive battles of Luoyang and Hulao Pass against Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande. Leaping through the air, struck by five arrows, yet never faltering.
The Deeper Meaning:
These six steeds are far more than memorials. They are:
- A declaration of power — Emperor Taizong displayed them to proclaim the military genius that founded the Tang Dynasty.
- A warning to descendants — They remind future generations of the blood and sacrifice required to build an empire, and the vigilance needed to keep it.
- A symbol of an era — They embody the Tang Dynasty's spirit: open, bold, cosmopolitan. The horses' names include Turkic and Persian words, reflecting an empire that welcomed the world.
- A masterpiece of art — Designed by the imperial painter Yan Liben, with inscriptions by Emperor Taizong himself and calligraphy by the master Ouyang Xun. They broke tradition by using high-relief carving instead of the usual round sculpture, creating a revolutionary artistic language.
Today, the Six Steeds stand as a timeless cultural totem — representing loyalty, courage, strategic brilliance, and the indomitable will to overcome every obstacle on the path to greatness.
The Power of Unstoppable Momentum
This design draws on traditional cultural symbolism:
- Momentum symbolism — The six steeds traditionally represent courage, momentum, and decisive leadership
- Leadership symbolism — Traditionally associated with steadiness through competition, setbacks, and doubt
- Career-achievement symbolism — Each steed represents a different dimension of triumph: loyalty, courage, strategy, resilience, speed, and power
- Inspire imperial ambition — Perfect for CEOs, founders, and leaders building lasting empires
The Art of Commanding Placement
1. Place on a stable, level desk, shelf or tabletop
2. Keep the base fully supported and clear of edges
3. Use warm, indirect lighting to show the relief details
4. Keep away from moisture, heat, and prolonged direct sunlight

The Wisdom of United Purpose
