Meditation #3

 

Art by San Yang (pen name for Zhang Xiuzhen)

Part of the artist's series "The Mighty Army General: Ancient Chinese Philosophy Wall Scrolls", this scroll entitled "The Mighty Family Man".  In this picture, a great military man, perhaps of the Shang dynasty (17th to 11th century BC) has returned from his place as a military commander to play an equally important role - husband to his wife, father to his son.  

"A child's life is like a piece of paper
in which every person leaves their mark."
- Ancient Chinese proverb
