Mongol with Horse and Camel <span

말과 낙타를 끄는 몽골인
🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING

"What does the companion who walks a long road with us mean?"

📝ONGO's Reflection

This is an anonymous Chinese painting in which a person leads a horse and a camel along a road. The northern feeling held in Chinese painting can be felt, yet the meaning the scene conveys is the same in any land. In this painting I see the weight of companionship. A far road is not walked alone, but together with beasts that share the load. The horse is swift and the camel endures far, so the one to lean upon differs with the nature of the road. A long journey needs companions, each with a different strength.
