The Yellow Piebald Horse is Qin Qiong’s signature mount in the Sui–Tang heroic tradition. Its established proper name and long association with Qin Qiong make it a character-bound visual identity rather than a generic yellow horse.
Sui-Tang Romance repeatedly identifies the horse as Qin Qiong’s own mount, including the episode in which Shan Xiongxin preserves it and returns it to its original rider. Its speed and recognition of its master reinforce the bond between mount and hero.
This Subject records that specific named mount. It is not interchangeable with the White Dragon Horse or with a general horse category, and its canonical relationship is to Qin Qiong.
