Ma Shuo was written in the 11th year of Zhenyuan (795) to the 16th year (800). At that time, Han Yuchu's career was unsuccessful. I have written to the Prime Minister for help three times, and the result is that I am on standby for more than 40 days. Despite this, Han Yu declared that he "has the heart of worrying about the world" and will not hide in the deep mountains and forests. Attached to the curtain of Dong Jin, the ambassador of Xuanwu, and Zhang Jian, the ambassador of Wuning, it was not adopted.
Later, they were attached to some scenes of our time. In addition, the traitors in the DPRK are in power and the politics is dark, so talents are ignored and frustrated.

First, the appreciation of Ma Shuo
Ma Shuo is an essay by Han Yu, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, which is an argumentative essay. It was originally the fourth essay written by Han Yu, and the title "Ma Shuo" was added by later generations. This article was written in the 11th year of Zhenyuan (795) to the 16th year (800). "Shuo" means "talking" and is an ancient argumentative genre.
This article takes the horse as a metaphor, talking about the talent problem, revealing the author's cynicism and his feelings and resentment. It expresses the author's strong indignation at the feudal rulers' failure to identify, reuse and bury talents.
Second, the author profile of Ma Shuo.
Han Yu (768-824 65438+February 25th) was born in Heyang, Henan (now mengzhou city, Henan). Self-proclaimed "King of Changli County", known as "Han Changli" and "Mr. Changli" in the world. An outstanding writer, thinker, philosopher and politician in the Tang Dynasty.
In the second year of Zhenyuan (786), Han Yu left Xuancheng and went to Chang 'an alone. At the same time, Han Yu went to He Zhongfu (Zhou Pu, now Yongji, Shaanxi Province) to find Han Mao, a clan brother, to get the recommendation of Hunhun, our special envoy in the river, but there was no result.
In the autumn of the third year of Zhenyuan (787), Han Yu went to Chang 'an after obtaining the qualification of rural tribute. That year, Han Yu came last in Chang 'an, and he had nothing to rely on. Then came the bad news that his brother Han Jian died. Around the end of this year, Han Yu was able to meet Ma Sui, King of Beiping, and got his help by accident. Han Yu later wrote "Cats Looking at each other" to show his virtue.
From the third year of Zhenyuan to the fifth year of Zhenyuan (787-789), Han Yu took three imperial examinations and failed. In the fifth year of Zhenyuan (789), Han Yu returned to Xuancheng.
In the eighth year of Zhenyuan (792), Han Yu took the Jinshi exam for the fourth time and finally won the Jinshi. The following year, I took the official department's erudite macro-word exam and failed. In the same year, Han Yu's wife, Mrs. Zheng, died, and he mourned for five months.
In the tenth year of Zhenyuan (794), he went to Chang 'an again to take the exam of erudite macro words and failed again. In the 11th year of Zhenyuan (795), she took the exam for the third time and still failed. During this period, I wrote three letters to the Prime Minister, but I didn't get a reply. In the same year, he left Chang 'an and returned to Heyang County via Tongguan, so he went to Luoyang, the eastern capital.
