The origin of the place name of Mashan and the origin of Tianma Mountain

On the section of National Highway 319 that runs through Nanjing, there is a place called Mashan, the name of Mashan, and there is a legendary story in it.

A long, long time ago, a man named Bole passed by a slaughterhouse in a town and saw a farmer selling horses. At first glance, Bole recognized it as the mount of a great general ten years ago, and it was a real horse.

Just as Bole was about to ask what was going on, the farmer was the first to ask: "My horse has a lot of meat, and you can make a lot of money by killing it!" Bole Jing listened to his understanding, so he bought it and regenerated the horse from the butcher's knife.

Just as Bole was paying the farmer, the farmer whispered close to his ear: "I picked this horse in the mountains, and it is specially used to pull the cart, grind the flour, and plough the fields for me. The day before yesterday, I almost fell to my death while riding it, and in a fit of rage, I pulled it into the rotten field, ready to sink it into a mud pit and bury it alive.

Unexpectedly, it jumped more than ten feet and flew like ground. It should not be killed, please pay attention, be careful. When Bole heard what he said, he secretly lamented that Maxima had strayed into the hands of the farmer and was tortured, and said:

Don't worry, a good bird chooses a tree to perch on, and a good horse watches the Lord do things. So saying, he mounted his horse and whipped away.

Bole hurriedly wanted to return Maxima to the old general, but when he went to the general's house, he heard bad news that the old general had been killed in a battle. Bole had no choice but to give this horse to his son, Major General. Maxima followed his master to fight on the battlefield and made a lot of achievements.

Unfortunately, the major general was besieged by the enemy in a battle, cut off food and grass, and fought bloodily for three days and three nights, and finally rode a thousand miles of horses to fight out of the siege and seize the road. At dusk, we arrived at the top of a steep mountain, the front of the deep valley road, the back of the chasing soldiers will arrive, thousands of horses in front of the foot of the kneeling, let the master dismount to escape, jump off the cliff by himself. The pursuers arrived behind, looked down at the blood under the cliff, and looked at each other thinking that the major general had committed suicide by jumping off the cliff.

The major general survived, abandoned Rong to engage in business, and later became a big businessman. In order to commemorate the Maxima who sacrificed his life for righteousness, he looked down at the blood-stained big stone rock in the afterglow of the sunset, and felt very much like a divine horse, so he named the stele "Horse Mountain".
