Only when there is Bole in the world can there be a swift horse. There are often swift horses, but Bole is not often. Therefore, even if there is a swift horse, it can only be humiliated in the hands of servants and die side by side with ordinary horses in the stable. It cannot be called a swift horse.

A horse that travels thousands of miles a day can sometimes eat a stone at a meal. People who feed horses don't know how to feed them according to their appetite. Even if such a horse has the ability to travel thousands of miles a day, its food intake and physical strength are insufficient, and its talent and good quality cannot be shown. If you want to be like an ordinary horse, how can you ask it to walk thousands of miles a day?

Pushing it, but not feeding it in the right way, is not enough for it to exert its talents, but listening to its cry, it is impossible to understand its meaning. Instead, he walked up to it with a whip and said, "There is no swift horse in the world!" Alas! Is there really no maxima? I'm afraid they really don't know maxima!

1, creative background

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 wrote to the Prime Minister three times to ask for permission, and as a result, I was on standby for more than 40 days, but my ambition couldn't get through and I couldn't talk about it. Despite this, Han Yu declared that he was "concerned about the country and the people" and would not hide in the mountains.

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.

Later, he was demoted to Chaozhou for admonishing the Buddha's bones. In his later years, the official to the assistant minister of the official department was called the "Korean official department". In the fourth year of Changqing (824), Han Yu died at the age of 57, and was posthumously awarded The Book of Rites by posthumous title, hence the name "Han Wengong".

He and Liu Zongyuan are also called "Liu Han", and they are known as "great writers" and "one hundred generations of literators". Later generations, together with Liu Zongyuan, Ouyang Xiu and Su Shi, are also called "the four great writers of the ages".

His prose writing theories, such as "the unity of literature and Taoism", "moderation in speech", "doing good deeds" and "having a proper speech", have important guiding significance for future generations. He is the author of The Collection of Han Changli.
