"Old Horses Ride Down" is a poem written by Cao Cao.

"An old horse crouches, aiming at a thousand miles" comes from the poem "Although the turtle is long" written by Cao Cao, a poet in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The old horse lurks, aiming at a thousand miles. Ji: a good horse, a swift horse; A manger for horses. An ambitious person is old, but still ambitious. From the Three Kingdoms Cao's "Although the Turtle is Longevity": "An old horse crouches in the tiger, aiming at a thousand miles."

The whole poem: Although the tortoise has a long life, there is still a time. The snake rides the fog and eventually turns to dust. The old horse lurks, aiming at a thousand miles. The martyrs were full of courage in their later years. The surplus and contraction period is not only in the sky; Blessings that nourish grace can last forever. I am glad to use this poem to express my inner desire.

Interpretation: Although the tortoise has a long life, its life will eventually come to an end. Although Teng snake can break through clouds and fog, it will eventually die and turn to dust. Although the old swift horse is squatting by the manger, its ambition is still galloping for thousands of miles. Even in old age, people who aim high will not stop trying to make progress. The length of a person's life is not just determined by heaven. Take care of your body and mind, and you will live longer. Very lucky. Use singing to express your thoughts and feelings.
