Footnotes
十八世紀 白玉馬
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 'thousand-li horses' (千里馬) which refer to horses capable of traveling a thousand li in a single day.
