The Bronze Galloping Horse of the Eastern Han Dynasty was designated as a Chinese tourism symbol by the National Tourism Administration in October 1983. It was designated as a national treasure-level cultural relic in 1986 and listed in January 2002. Included in the "First Batch Catalog of Cultural Relics Prohibited from Exhibition Abroad (Border)".

The Bronze Galloping Horse of the Eastern Han Dynasty is a bronze handicraft with important value produced under the influence of the custom of horse worship in Han Dynasty society. Horses were an important means of transportation, military equipment and livestock power for agricultural production in Han Dynasty society. The government of the Han Dynasty gave horses an "oral registration", and Emperor Wu composed the "Song of Heavenly Horses". Horses were deified and praised on various occasions.

It was popular in Han Dynasty society to bury chariots and horses with utensils, and horses were regarded as symbols of wealth. The "Guard of Honor for Traveling by Cars and Horses" and "Travel Pictures" from the Han Dynasty are common themes in tomb murals, portrait stones, and portrait bricks. The bronze galloping horse is unique and complements other chariots and horses, embodying the unity of the universality and particularity of the artifacts buried with the tomb.

The Han Dynasty expanded its territory, connected the Western Region, and established four counties in Hexi. Horses played a unique role. According to records on Han bamboo slips in Hexi, horses were widely used in transportation stations, Great Wall defense, military operations, and ethnic harmony.
