The northern Xinjiang culture contains rich symbols and spirits, among which the galloping spirit of the Mongolian horse has become a unique cultural identity. In 2014, the general secretary of Inner Mongolia encouraged the cadres and masses of all ethnic groups when he inspected Inner Mongolia, and he used the Mongolian horse as a metaphor to call on everyone to show the spirit of hardship and perseverance in entrepreneurship. The vitality and free spirit of Mongolian horses have become an important source of exploration in the new era among the people of all ethnic groups in Inner Mongolia.
In the "Watching the Northern Xinjiang" exhibition area of the Hohhot Sculpture Art Museum, the audience can feel the flying posture of the Mongolian horse up close. Dozens of sculptures with the theme of Mongolian horses show the majestic posture of Mongolian horses galloping on the steppe through realistic techniques. In addition, some sculptures are based on the theme of "Mongolian Horse Spirit", and choose symbolic historical stories for creation, such as the sculpture "Little Sisters of the Steppe Heroes", which profoundly echoes the "Mongolian Horse Spirit" through the hero's bravery and unafraid of sacrifice.
Cao Xiong, an associate professor at the Academy of Fine Arts at Inner Mongolia Normal University, pointed out that the Mongolian horse's central position in Inner Mongolian art is not only due to its historical value, but also to its profound influence on Inner Mongolia's culture, spirituality and identity. Inner Mongolia, as one of the provinces with the highest concentration of desertification in China, is facing a serious problem of desertification. However, countless people have fought against the desert through practical actions on this land. For example, Li Zhenhai, a farmer from the Molida Wadaur Autonomous Banner in Hulunbuir City, has planted more than 600,000 trees in 39 years, bringing greenery to more than 2,000 acres of barren mountains and creating more than 300 million yuan in ecological benefits. The embodiment of this "Mongolian horse spirit" is the persistence and responsibility of the natural environment.
Li Guangpeng, a professor at the School of Life Sciences of Inner Mongolia University, led a team to overcome the scientific and technological problems of breeding new breeds of beef cattle. He said that in order to achieve scientific research results, perseverance and perseverance are required, and it is necessary to have the feelings of family and country and the spirit of Mongolian horses, and have the courage to bear hardships and stand hard work. Generations of Inner Mongolia's sons and daughters have transformed the "Mongolian Horse Spirit" into a powerful driving force to promote the development of various undertakings in Inner Mongolia and move forward bravely.
Zhang Ruijun, Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Marxism of Inner Mongolia Normal University, said that on the new journey, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region actively responded to the five major tasks, comprehensively built a model autonomous region, and showed the ambition of high-quality development. This is the same as the Mongolian horse, the goal is to move forward indomitable and never give up. This "Mongolian horse spirit" inspires the whole autonomous region to break the waves.
