Dear Elena,
1. No, the Chinese traditionally do not hang a horsehose.
2. Even today, in my opinion, I have yet to see a typical Chinese family doing it.
3. More commonly, the Chinese hang a piece of red cloth (with auspicious characters) over the main entrance.
4. It is also common to find a pair of lanterns hung on each side of the door.
5. More...
The horse has been around in China for a long time and ancient diggings have discovered beautifully carved horse figurines.
The horseshoe design is used widely at graves and also the recent development which I mentioned " The Tropica " under the Topic- Photo Tours of Interest with pictures.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
