Huma is famous and skinny. Its ears are as sharp as a piece of bamboo, and it runs like four winds, as if its hoof had not been trampled. The horse galloped, never in an open way, riding it all very comfortable, dare to roam the battlefield, and even share life and death. So fast, so fast, it is a good horse that can live up to life. It can commit crimes for the country.

Du Fu's poems combine things and lyricism naturally and seamlessly. Writing about horses is also writing about people, and writing about people cannot be separated from writing about horses. On the one hand, it gives the horse a fresh soul, and the spirit of employing people further makes the horse live.

On the other hand, people have the character of a horse, and people's feelings have also been expressed incisively and vividly. This object-chanting poem is both internal and external. The whole poem seems to write about horses, but it expresses the author's mind and ambition by praising horses.
