Grass-Mud Horse Lexicon: Browse by Topic

How to Search: This page is organized in pinyin (romanization) order. For example, the entry “grass-mud horse” is under the letter “C” for “cǎonímǎ” and appears with first the Chinese characters, then the pinyin and the English (i.e. 草泥马 (cǎonímǎ) grass-mud horse). Pinyin is ordered by syllable: ex. the entry for “chāyāo jī” comes before “Chāi Nǎ,” as the first syllables are “chā” and “chāi,” respectively. This is further ordered by the order of the tones: hence entries beginning with “fǎn” precede those starting with “fàn,” etc.

To search in English, press the Control (CTRL) and F keys simultaneously. This will pull up a search bar and direct you to whichever English term you enter as it appears on this page. You can also use the search bar in the upper right hand corner.
