Origin Story
传说黄帝轩辕氏要去且茨山寻找一位名叫大隗的神仙，向他请教治理天下的方法。在前往且茨山的途中，黄帝遇到一位牧童，便向他询问大隗的住处。牧童告诉了黄帝大隗的住处。黄帝对牧童说：“治理天下与牧马相似，只要去除害群之马即可。”黄帝听后，深感赞同，豁然开朗。于是他运用这个道理来治理天下，最终取得了辉煌的成就。
Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor, Huangdi, was going to Qiecishan Mountain to find a immortal named Da Wei, to ask him for advice on how to govern the country. On the way to Qiecishan Mountain, Huangdi met a shepherd boy and asked him where Da Wei lived. The shepherd boy told Huangdi where Da Wei lived. Huangdi said to the shepherd boy, “Governing the country is similar to herding horses; you only need to remove the bad horses.” Huangdi was deeply impressed by this. He used this principle to govern the country and ultimately achieved great success.
