Ma Yuan bronze horse method appeared in the Western Han Dynasty?

Ma Yuan was born in the Western Han Dynasty and died in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The method of bronze horse appeared in Random Thoughts, when Ma Yuan cast the bronze drum of Luoyue into a fine horse and presented it to the emperor. Specifically, it should be dedicated to Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, and it should be the Eastern Han Dynasty.

He said in the chapter: "The husband is like a dragon in the sky and a horse in the ground. Horses are the foundation of armor and the great use of the country. Harmony is the order of respect, and it becomes a help to the distance. Once upon a time, there were chariots and horses, which traveled thousands of miles a day. Bole was happy to see them, and it was obvious that he was not confused. In modern times, there is Xihe Yu Zi, which is also a clear law. Yuzi passed on the commander-in-chief of Xihe Instrument, you, and the commander-in-chief of Dingjun Mansion, Maoling, all of whom were passed on as adopted sons. I help regular teachers, son. It will be effective if you learn from the horse's bones and act according to the test. I foolishly thought that hearsay was not as good as seeing it with my own eyes, and seeing it immediately was not as good as seeing it. To form a horse today, it is difficult to prepare the bone method and it will not be passed down in the future. When Emperor Xiaowu was filial, the East Gate of Aima was cast as a bronze horse, and the imperial edict was immediately placed outside Lubanmen, so it was renamed Lubanmen and called "Golden Horse Gate". I would like to prepare this bone with the sheath of Yi, the tongue of Yi, the bun of Xie's lips and the body of Xie "(Biography of Ma Yuan in the Later Han Dynasty). The horse is three feet four inches high and four feet five inches around. The emperor issued a letter and ordered the horse to be placed in his royal highness Xuande with the name of a famous horse.
