According to ancient legend a divine being named Bole takes care of all the horses in Heaven. Thus, people in this world call a horse expert “Bole” for his ability to recognize a good horse from a mediocre one.
During the Spring Autumn Period, there was a man named Sun Yang from the state of Qin. He was an expert on horses. Because he was so excellent in appraising horses, people called him Bole. Over time his real name was forgotten.
One day the King of Chu asked Sun Yang to buy a horse for him that could run a thousand miles a day. In those days the quality of a horse was measured by the number of miles a horse could run in a day - the more, the better.
Sun told the king that horses that can run a thousand miles a day were very rare, but he would fine one. He asked the king to be patient.
Sun went from one state to another and looked very hard for such a horse. He could not find a suitable horse for the king until one day on his way back from the state of Ji, he saw a horse pulling a cart loaded with salt. The horse was going uphill and every step was an exhausting effort.
When the horse saw Sun Yang coming closer, it whinnied loudly with its eyes wide open as if it wanted to tell him something. Sun could tell from its whinny that it was a rare horse. He told the horse’s owner that the horse was a rare one and it was best suited to fight in battles. Any other ordinary horse would be better for doing work such as pulling a cart.
When Sun Yang mentioned that he would buy the horse, the man thought Sun was a real fool because that horse ate a lot but remained very skinny and still it could not pull much.
The man was happy to sell the horse.
Sun took the horse directly to the king’s palace. In front of the palace, he patted the horse’s neck and said, “I have a found a good master for you.” The horse seemed to understand, and raised its front legs, stretched its neck up and whinnied very loudly. The king heard the noise and came out. Sun said, “Your Majesty, I found your horse.” The king was not happy after seeing such a scrawny horse, “I thought that you knew a lot about horses, but what kind of horse do you have here? This horse can hardly walk let alone fight in a battle field.”
Sun Yang said, “This is indeed a rare horse, however it has been pulling a cart, and no one took good care of it. Just feed the horse and take good of it for half a month. It will recuperate.”
The king told the horse keeper to take good care of the horse. Just like Sun Yang said, the horse soon regained its shape. When the king rode the horse, it ran so fast that he could feel the wind sweep by his ears. Within minutes he was over a hundred miles from the palace. Later the horse made great contributions in the battle field, and the King of Chu respected Sun even more.
Nowadays people use the phrase “Bole knows horses” to refer to someone or that knows how to recognize talent in people and make a sound recommendation to others.
