How to write fables or idioms about horses?
During the Warring States Period, near the northern border town, there lived an old man named Sai Weng. Sai Weng keeps many horses. One day, one of his horses suddenly got lost. When the neighbors heard about it, they all came to comfort him and advised him not to worry too much. When he is old, he pays more attention to his health. Seeing someone comforting him, Sai Weng smiled and said, "Losing a horse is not a big loss. Maybe it will bring some blessings. "
The neighbors were amused at what Sai Weng said. Losing the horse is obviously a bad thing, but he thinks it may be a good thing, obviously just comforting himself. A few days later, the lost horse not only went home automatically, but also brought back a Xiongnu war horse.
When the neighbors heard about it, they all admired Sai Weng's foresight and congratulated him one after another, saying, "You still have foresight. You are lucky not only to lose your horse, but also to bring back a good one. "
Sai Weng listened to his neighbor's congratulations, but he was not happy at all. He said anxiously, "A good horse won for nothing may not be a blessing, but it may cause some trouble."
Neighbors think his posturing is purely the cunning of the elderly. They were obviously happy and deliberately kept silent.
Sai Weng has an only son who likes riding horses very much. He found that the horse he brought back was a good horse with long legs and big hooves. He knew at a glance that this was a good horse. He rides out every day and is proud of himself.
One day, he was overjoyed, galloped at his horse, fell down, fell off his horse and broke his leg. When the neighbors heard about it, they came to offer their condolences.
Sai Weng said, "It's okay. It may be a blessing to be able to save your life after breaking your leg." Neighbors think he's talking nonsense again. They can't figure out what good luck a broken leg will bring.
Soon, Xiongnu soldiers invaded on a large scale and young people were recruited into the army. Sai Weng's son can't join the army because he broke his leg. All the young men who joined the army died, but Sai Weng's son saved his life.
An old hand is a good guide
In 663 BC, at the request of Duke Zhuang of Yan, Qi Huangong sent troops to attack Shanrong, which invaded Yan. The Prime Minister Guan Zhong and the doctor Peng Ji accompanied him. Later, Shanrong retreated to solitary bamboo, and the Qi army went deep into it, eventually destroying it. The Qi army went to war in spring, and it was winter when they returned home in triumph, and the vegetation had changed. The army wandered in a high mountain valley and finally got lost. Although many scouts were sent to explore the road, they still couldn't figure out where to get out of the valley. After a long time, it is difficult for the army to supply. The situation is very critical. If we can't find a way out, the army will be trapped here. Guan Zhong thought for a long time and had an idea: since dogs can find their way home far from home, horses in the army, especially old horses, will also have the ability to find their way. So he said to Qi Huangong, "Your Majesty, I think the old horse has the ability to know the way." You can use it to lead the way and lead the army out of the valley. "Qi Huangong agreed to give it a try. Guan Zhong immediately selected several old horses, untied the reins and let them walk freely in front of the army. Strangely, these old horses did not hesitate to move in one direction. The army ran around with them, and finally got out of the valley and found the way back to Qi.
Bole comments on horses-praising people who are good at discovering talents
Legend has it that the fairy who manages horses in the sky is called Bole. On the earth, people call people who are good at distinguishing the good from the bad horses Bole.
The first person called Bole, whose real name was Sun Yang, came from the Spring and Autumn Period. Because of his excellent research on horses, people forgot his original name and have simply called him Bole until now.
On one occasion, Bole was entrusted by the King of Chu to buy a fine horse that traveled thousands of miles every day. Bole explained to the king of Chu that swift horses are rare and difficult to find, so they need to travel around the world. Please don't worry, he tried his best to get things done.
Bole traveled to several countries and carefully searched Zhao Yan, which is rich in famous horses. It's hard, but I still haven't found a good horse I like. One day, Bole came back from Qi State and saw a horse pulling a salt cart on a steep slope. This horse is tired and it is difficult to take every step. Bole is always so close to the horse that he can't help going to the front. The horse was furious when he saw Bole approaching.
Bole said to the driver: "This horse gallops on the battlefield, and no horse can match it;" But pulling a cart is not as good as ordinary horses. You'd better sell it to me. "
The driver thinks Bole is a big fool. He felt that this horse was ordinary, had no strength to pull rickshaws, ate too much and was skinny, so he agreed without hesitation. Bole led the horse away and headed for Chu. Bole led the horse to the Chu Palace, patted the horse on the neck and said, "I found a good master for you." As if he understood Bole's meaning, the horse raised his front hoof and slammed on the ground, hissing his neck.
When the king of Chu saw that the horse led by Bole was so thin, he thought Bole had fooled him and was a little unhappy. He said, "I believe you can look at the horse before buying it, but what kind of horse did you buy?" This horse is difficult to walk. Can it go to war? "
Bole said: "this is indeed a swift horse, but it looks very thin after being dragged for a long time and not carefully fed." As long as it is carefully fed, it will definitely restore physical strength within half a month. "
The king of Chu was a little skeptical and ordered the groom to do his best to feed the horse. Sure enough, the horse became thin and strong. The king of Chu whipped across the horse, but he felt the wind blowing in his ear and breathing for a hundred miles.
Later, Maxima made great contributions to the galloping of the King of Chu. The king of Chu respects Bole more.
