Footnotes
元/明 玉馬 一組四件
Horses carry rich symbolic meaning in Chinese culture. They have long been associated with status, authority, and the cultivated life of the elite, and frequently appear in paintings as companions to scholars or as metaphors for talent, ambition, and achievement. Exceptionally gifted individuals are often likened to a 'thousand-li horse' (千里馬) which refers to a horse capable of traveling a thousand li in a single day.
See a related jade reclining horse, Ming dynasty, in the collection of Hangzhou History Museum, illustrated in (中國傳世玉器全集), vol.4 (Ming), Beijing, 2010, p.180.
