Excerpts from the original text:
Where there is Bole, there is a swift horse. A thousand miles away, there are not many boles. Therefore, although there is a famous horse, it is only humiliated by the hands of slaves, and it is not called a thousand miles to die in a trough.
Explanation:
There is Bole in the world (first), and then there is a swift horse. There are often swift horses, but Bole is not often. Therefore, even if there is a precious horse, it is only humiliated in the hands of servants and died in the trough (like ordinary horses), and it is not called a swift horse.
Maxima: It originally refers to a horse that runs well and can walk thousands of miles a day. Now it is often used as a metaphor for talents; Especially talented people. Then: the table turned. But, but ... Only. Slave: it also refers to servants in ancient times, and here refers to people who feed horses.

The author's thoughts and achievements:
Politically, Han Yu opposed the separatist regime in the buffer region. Regarding Han Yu's attitude towards the separatist regime of the buffer region, the main tendency of Han Yu's Pinghuai Xibei is to "oppose the separatist regime of the buffer region and praise the victory of counterinsurgency"
Han Yu praised the hawk faction and criticized the hawk faction. He believes that "Han Yu's firm stance against the separatist regime of the buffer region should not be despised because the inscription omits Li Su's achievements", and that his "opposition to the separatist regime of the buffer region is not only manifested in the temporary pacification of Huaixi, but also runs through his series of articles"
Han Yu served as a doctor in imperial academy for three times and served as a drinking ceremony in imperial academy. He recruited disciples and taught his studies in person, leaving an article on how to inspire future generations and support talents. Han Yuli changed his style of being a teacher and recruited more students to study.
Many of Han Yuduo's long poems, such as Return to Pengcheng, Dirty, and Lonely Feelings in a County Village, reveal realistic contradictions, express personal frustrations, and are often written smoothly.
