Appreciating Xu Beihong's traditional Chinese painting "Running Horse", please answer the symbolic meaning of his running horse and what kind of feelings and associations it gives you.

It symbolizes the awakening of the national spirit. The steed in "Running Horse" has loose hooves, long hair and sharp bones, which makes people feel that this steed seems fearless and gallops freely on the earth. The horse's mouth is slightly open, and a pair of big eyes are bright, which makes people think that this fine horse is observing the enemy in front; Its ears pricked up, as if listening to something quietly; The horseshoe of a horse, like steel casting, seems to have shattered the enemy's plot; The horse's tail floats in the air like a cloud.
