Among the six disciples, Xuema was the most similar, when he was a young friend. He had been private for many years, and he was almost in a state of fascination. His horse style and small movements are very similar, but he has no voice, which is a big pity. Its number of times Wang and Lin, also has a bit of horse flavor.
