Sayings About Horse

The phrase “Dragon-horse spirit”describes the Chinese people’s continual quest for self-improvement. The image of a spirited horse running free symbolizes ease and success, so the saying “The horse arrives and success is achieved”refers to speedy victory. The saying “One horse leads the herd”describes great initiative.”Ten thousand horses surging forward” describes a glorious and dynamic spectacle.

The saying “A horse’s strength is revealed on a long journey”means that a person’s true capabilities, like a horse’s stamina, are demonstrated best when they are tested under arduous conditions. Bo Le was an ancient Chinese connoisseur of fine horses, whose name is used today to describe someone who is proficient at recognizing human talent and ability.”Artillery lags behind cavalry,”a term from Chinese chess, is used to describe effort that comes too late to do any good.
