The Immortal Paradise Building in the Mountain
산중 선경의 누각
🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"What does the heart that painted a paradise deep in the mountains wish for?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This is a landscape attributed to the Chinese painter Dong Yuan, in which a pavilion where immortals dwell, set deep among the mountains, spreads across silk. It is the style that built the grand bone-structure of Chinese landscape painting, yet the longing it holds lies in any heart. In this painting I see the power of an ideal held at a distance and looked up to. People paint an unreachable paradise and live looking toward it. Even unreached, merely having a place to revere gives direction to one's steps. An ideal leads a person not by arrival but by aspiration.
