Idioms and allusions

According to legend, the God in charge of horses in the sky is called bole. In the world, people who are good at distinguishing horses are also called bole. The first person to be called Bole was Sun Yang. He was born in the spring and Autumn period. Because of his excellent research on horses, people forget his original name and call him bole. once, Bole was entrusted by the king of Chu to buy a horse that could travel thousands of miles a day. Bole explained to the king of Chu that Qianli horse is very rare. It is not easy to find it. He needs to visit all parts of the country. But he asked the king of Chu not to worry. He tried his best to do a good job and find the horse. Bole has traveled to several countries, and even yanzhao, which is famous for its horses, has been looking for them carefully. After much hard work, he still hasn't found a good horse. One day, Bole returned from the state of Qi. On the road, he saw a horse pulling a salt cart, struggling on a steep slope. The horse was so tired that every step was very difficult. Bole has always been close to the horse, so he can't help walking to it. When Ma saw Bole approaching, he suddenly raised his head, widened his eyes and hissed loudly, as if to tell Bole something. Bole immediately judged from his voice that it was a rare horse. Bole said to the driver, "this horse can't compete with any other horse for galloping in the battlefield, but it's not as good as an ordinary horse for pulling a cart. You'd better sell it to me. " the driver thinks Bole is a fool. He thinks the horse is too ordinary. He doesn't have the strength to pull the cart. He eats too much and is skinny. He agrees without hesitation. Bole leads a thousand li horse to Chu. Bole led the horse to the king of Chu palace, patted the horse on the neck and said, "I've found a good master for you." The Qianlima, as if he understood Bole's meaning, raised his front hooves and shook the ground to a gurgling sound. His neck hissed and his voice was as loud as a big bell rock and went up to the sky. The king of Chu heard the horse hissing and went out of the palace. Bole pointed to the horse and said, "king, I've brought you Qianlima. Please watch carefully." As soon as the king of Chu saw that Bole's horse was so thin that he thought Bole was making a fool of him. He was a little unhappy and said, "I believe you can see the horse before you buy it. But what kind of horse do you buy? It's very difficult for the horse to walk. Can you go to the battlefield?" Bole said: "it's really a thousand li horse, but it looks very thin after pulling for a while and not feeding carefully. As long as the careful feeding, less than half a month, will restore physical strength On hearing this, the king of Chu was a little skeptical, so he ordered the coachman to do his best to feed the horse. Sure enough, the horse became strong and handsome. The king of Chu stepped on his horse and raised his whip, but he felt the wind in his ears. It was just a breath. He had already run a hundred miles away. Later, Qianlima made a lot of contributions for the king of Chu. The king of Chu had more respect for bole.
