兵马

兵马 refers to an army or military forces, traditionally including both soldiers and horses. It is often used in historical contexts to describe a well-organized military force, emphasizing the combination of infantry and cavalry.

The character 兵 (bīng) means 'soldier' or 'military,' while 马 (mǎ) means 'horse.' Together, they originally described the armed forces that included mounted troops, reflecting ancient Chinese military organization.

Today, 兵马 is commonly associated with the Terracotta Army, a famous archaeological site in China. It is also used metaphorically to refer to any organized group of people working together, such as in a team or organization.
