(原创)During the Warring States Period (战国时代), King Zhao of the State of Yan (燕昭王) wanted to gather (召集) talented people to make the state strong. He asked the scholar (有学问的人) Guo Wei for advice. Guo told the king a story.
In ancient times, there was a king who wanted a special kind of horse. It was called qianlima. He sent many people to find the horse. After three years, nobody found such a horse for him.
One day, someone new volunteered to help. Within three months, he heard about a qianlima. He rushed to buy it, but the horse was already dead. Still, he bought the bones (骨头) of the horse with 500 pieces of gold.
The king was very angry. “What I want is a live horse, not the bones of a dead horse!” he said.
The man answered calmly, “Imagine this: You are willing to pay much for a dead horse, letting alone a live one. This shows people you truly wish to buy the horses. Just wait and the horses you want will come very soon.”
Indeed (的确), within a year, many qianlima owners brought their horses to the king.
Guo told the king that he could see himself as the bones of the horses. “If I am valued, more talents will be willing to serve the state,” he said. The king built houses for Guo and treated him as a teacher. Soon, talented people across the state came to help the king. His state finally beat the State of Qi.
