Bo Le (伯樂) was a horse tamer for Duke Mu of Qin (秦穆公, r. 659–621 BC), immortalised in 3rd-century BCE classics such as the (吕氏春秋), the (莊子), and the (淮南子) for his discerning eye for exceptional horses. He thus came to symbolise talent recognition, particularly the identification of ability for government service during the Qing dynasty.
