人类自开始驯化马时起，为了控制、驾驭马，就发明了马具。马具的发展经历了长期的过程，功能齐备的骑乘用马具包括衔镳、鞍、镫三大部分，只有马镫的发明，尤其是双镫的应用，才标志着骑乘用马具已经发展到成熟的阶段。

Through the systematic trimming of the wooden stirrups with long strap bars and metal overlays found archaeologically to date, this paper classified these stirrups into three lineages： that of Type A made by ＂joining two branches together＂, Type B made by ＂steaming the wood and bending it into a stirrup＂ and Type C made by ＂cutting the wood into the shape of a stirrup＂ . Estimated by the present archaeological discoveries, the earliest stirrups emerging in the Central Plains or the Yangtze River Valley would be made by the method of ＂steaming the wood and bending it into a stirrup＂ and the method of ＂joining two branches together＂ might occur first in the Liaoxi area under the ruling of the Murong Xianbei tribe, which could not be earlier than the Western Jin Dynasty; the method of ＂cutting the wood into the shape of a stirrup＂ seemed unquestionably invented by the Murong Xianbei tribe to simulate the method of ＂steaming the wood and bending it into a stirrup＂, the terminus ante quem of which would be at the Former Yah Kingdom＇ s transferring of the capital to Longcheng.
