The winged horse is said to be too swift and elegant to be mounted by any mortal man and is named after its ability to travel one thousand [[li (unit)|li]] in a single day. Since the 3rd century BCE, the ''qianlima'' was used as a metaphor for exceptionally talented people and animals, such as [[Red Hare]]. The ''chollima'' is an important symbol in [[North Korea]] and is the namesake of the [[Chollima Movement]].
