Page of Swords
On an early autumn morning, a young and keen-eyed page walks along a winding path with a simple pack on his back, gripping a sword that gleams with faint light -- symbolizing the initial resolve to pursue knowledge and truth. This page is full of questions about the world, loves observing every detail around him, and explores unknown territories with boundless curiosity, whether the bustling town marketplace or hidden country lanes, each becoming a stage for uncovering truth. It is said that he once discovered a mysterious manuscript in an ancient library, gaining revelations that transformed his understanding of life and the universe. This parable emphasizes that if a young mind can maintain its sharpness and thirst for knowledge, it can continuously break through limitations, opening the door to wisdom and independent thought, and ultimately discovering one's own truth in the quest. [Imagery and Symbolism] A young person stands on undulating ground, brandishing a sword with both hands (alertness and messages). Wind tousles his hair and clouds, symbolizing turbulent thoughts.
