白马

白马 (bái mǎ) literally means 'white horse' and refers to a horse with white fur. It is a direct and literal translation, often used in contexts involving animals or symbolism related to horses.

The character 白 (bái) means 'white,' and 马 (mǎ) means 'horse.' Together, they form a compound noun describing a specific type of horse. This term has been used historically in Chinese literature and poetry to symbolize purity, nobility, or even mythical creatures.

In modern usage, 白马 is commonly seen in names of places, such as the famous Bai Ma Temple, or in stories where a white horse plays a symbolic role. It can also appear in idioms or metaphors, though it is rarely used metaphorically outside of poetic or historical contexts.
