Jiufang Gao, surname unknown, year of birth and death unknown, many stories about him mainly come from word of mouth, and finally recorded in the form of folklore.
When it comes to Soma Division, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Bole. This may be related to the later Tang Dynasty great writer Han Yu, who wrote an article "Ma Shuo", proposing that "there is Bole in the world, and then there are thousands of horses." Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have", which is deeply recognized by the world. Therefore, the name of Bole is deeply rooted in the brains of the Chinese people.
In fact, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Jiufang Gao was also a top Soma master, and even Bole respected him.
According to the records in "Liezi Shuofu", Qin Mugong saw that Bole was old, and asked him to recommend a ** person to continue to serve the country. After careful consideration, Bole decided that there was no suitable candidate in his family, so he recommended Jiufang Gao.
Qin Mugong then summoned Jiufang Gao to see if he could really take on the heavy responsibility of Soma. After the initial interview, Qin Mugong was still not very relieved, and in order to investigate his actual level of horses, Qin Mugong asked him to find a good horse to come back.
After Jiufang Gao received the order, he immediately went out to find a good horse. After three months of hard work, Jiufangao came back to report that he had found a yellow mare, which was a thousand-mile horse.
General Qin Mugong was suspicious, and sent his subordinates to lead the horse to take a look, and it turned out to be a black stallion!
Qin Mugong was disappointed, a person known as the horse master, he couldn't even tell the horse's coat color and male and female, how is this different from **?
So, Qin Mugong summoned Bole and blamed him, blaming him for not using the people he recommended, he didn't know how to be a horse at all, and he couldn't even distinguish the most basic coat color.
After hearing this, Bole carefully examined the horse brought back by Jiufanggao, and found that this was indeed a thousand-mile horse!
He said to Qin Mugong unhurriedly, Jiufang Gao was not wrong, he chose a good horse!When he looks at the horse, he does not pay attention to the basic appearance of the horse, but pays attention to the key indicators such as the horse's running ability and endurance!In doing so, he can see the crux of the problem, get to the essence and forget the roughness, forget the inside and forget the outside, see what he sees, not see what he sees, see what he sees, and leave what he does not see, this is the most brilliant Soma technique!
Qin Mugong was suspicious, and ordered someone to lead the horse out for a try, and it was indeed a rare thousand-mile horse!Qin Mugong finally believed Bole's words!
Later, Jiufang Gao succeeded Bole and continued to be the Qin people, and his name went down in history!
Of course, due to the fact that in that special era, there were years of war, and the information recording tools were limited, so it was impossible to leave a file for everyone. Therefore, we have no way of knowing what happened to Jiufanggao!I hope this wonderful Soma master can have a good home!
Mr. Xu Beihong, a famous modern painter, was inspired by the story of Jiufang Gao and Soma, and specially created a painting of "Jiufang Gao", praising the professionalism of Jiufang Gao, satirizing the lack of talent among those in power, and calling for more masters to appear and create a peaceful and prosperous world where people can make the best use of their talents and make the best use of things!
Jiufang Gao, the master of Soma who has been recorded in history, the story of Soma reminds the world from time to time that when looking at the selection and appointment of people, we must have a professional vision that pays attention to substance and not only appearance, so as not to look away and mislead people and things!
