북관유적도첩 - 척경입비도
🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING

"Whose boundary will a single stone marker, set up now, become in some far-off day?"

📝ONGO's Reflection

The Stele-Raising of the Bukgwan Album holds a scene of opening frontier land and setting up a stone there. To widen a border and leave a marker in that place is an act that looks not to immediate merit but to the trace it will leave for those who come after. In this painting I see that today's labor becomes the standard of the future. Because someone first set foot there and raised a stone, those who follow know the way. The trace of a person who quietly widened a limit does not vanish but becomes the starting point of the next generation.

Even if it draws no notice now, set up one small marker to leave for those who come after you.
