In 1002 BC, King Zhou Zhao, the father of King Mu of Zhou, was destroyed on the shores of the Han River during the second personal conquest of the Chu State, and King Zhou Zhao was martyred. After the death of King Zhou Zhao, his son Ji Man succeeded to the throne, that is, King Mu of Zhou. According to legend, King Mu of Zhou was fifty years old when he succeeded to the throne, reigned for fifty-five years, and died at an age of 105.
During the reign of King Mu of Zhou, he formulated the Xing Code, reaffirmed chaogang, and worked to develop in the four directions. At that time, the power of the Inuyasha clan was relatively strong, unwilling to pay tribute to the Zhou Dynasty, and also hindered the Zhou Dynasty's contacts with the northwestern countries, and King Mu of Zhou twice conquered inuyasha, won its five lords, and also moved a part of the Inuyasha clan to Taiyuan. In addition to the inuyasha in the west, King Mu of Zhou also attacked Xu Rong in the east, and met the princes at Tushan Mountain, which can be said to be a very effective monarch.
About 1700 years ago, some tomb robbers accidentally found a batch of bamboo jane in a Warring States tomb in Jixian County, Henan, about five or six hundred years old, the number is huge, there are dozens of cars, adding up to more than 100,000 words, after being sorted out, it was set as 75 articles, the more famous is the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" and "Mu Tianzi Biography" two, of which "Mu Tianzi Biography" is the only one that has been preserved so far.
The Biography of Mu Tianzi records that King Mu of Zhou selected eight horses, including Chi Ji, Thief Li, Hua Xiao, and Green Ear, and took the famous Imperial Hand Father and Guide Bo Yaoxi to the state of the West Queen Mother, and drank with the West Queen Mother, and the journey back and forth was about 35,000 miles, which lasted about two years. It is quite legendary, but there is still controversy, and we do not know whether King Zhou Mu really met the Queen Mother of the West.

There is a very romantic relationship between King Ji Man of Zhou Mu and Queen Mother of the West, the two once met when King Zhou Mu traveled in a carriage, and after meeting each other, the two developed a relationship. The myth of their love ended with the fact that the two never met again after they separated.
The legend is this: King Mu of Zhou wanted to learn from the Yellow Emperor in ancient times, driving a carriage around the world, King Mu of Zhou was extremely mercurial, knowledgeable, and passed through the Kunlun Mountain where the Queen Mother of the West was located during the journey, and after hearing that the Queen Mother of the West was a beautiful woman, he went specially. King Mu of Zhou gave Yubi to the Queen Mother of the West to show his kindness, and visited Yaochi with the Two Queen Mothers of the West, and the two had a very happy chat. It is said that King Mu of Zhou also erected a monument on the mountain, and it is also said that King Mu of Zhou planted a tree on the mountain, but both the stele and the tree are engraved with the words "Mountain of the Queen Mother of the West" to express his feelings for the Queen Mother of the West.
However, soon after, the day of their parting came, and when they were separated, King Mu of Zhou and Queen Mother of the West sang in a deep voice, and the Queen Mother of the West asked King Mu of Zhou with a song about this parting, and when he would come to see her again. For the affection of the West Queen Mother, King Zhou Mu was very touched, and he sang and replied that the West Queen Mother was going to go back to fulfill his duties as an emperor, and when everything was arranged, he would come back to see her after about three years. However, three years later and three years later, King Mu of Zhou did not go back to find the Queen Mother of the West, and the love story between the two ended.
In the "Biography of Mu Tianzi", it is recorded that this period of the more exaggerated love myth between King Mu of Zhou and the Queen Mother of the West is recorded, but because this love story is a myth, it is not exaggerated even if it is exaggerated.

According to legend, the eight horses of King Mu of Zhou used to drive the carriage, and it is rumored that the eight horses traveled very fast, and King Mu of Zhou once drove the carriage pulled by these eight horses to imitate the famous figure of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times.
There are many theories about the eight horses, two of which are about the names of the eight horses. One theory is that King Mu of Zhou was named after the eight horses with different coat colors, and the horses with fiery red fur were named Chi Ji; Horses with pure black fur were named Thieves; Horses whose fur color is pure white are named Baiyi; Horses with blue-purple fur were named overwheels; Shanzi is the name of a horse with gray-white fur; Canal yellow is the name of a horse with goose-yellow fur; Red horses with black bristles and black ponytails are called horses; The last horse with blue-yellow fur was named Green Ear. The names of these horses are recorded in the Biography of Mu Tianzi.
Another theory is that the names of the eight horses are based on their respective speeds. Horses that travel so fast that their hooves do not trample on the ground are named Jedi; Horses that travel faster than flying birds are called tumbling feathers; Horses that can travel thousands of miles at night are named Benxiao; The horse that chases the sun is called Super Shadow; Horses whose fur shines as they travel are named Yue Hui; Horses that travel so fast that ten shadows appear are named Super light; One of the remaining two horses is called Tengwu, which seems to be running wildly in a cloud, and the other is called a support wing, and the horse has flesh wings on it. The names of the above horses are recorded in the "King Mu of Zhou" in the Book of Collected Remains.
