Tradition is to keep the fire burning."
nishio.iconI guess that means it's important to protect them so they don't disappear?"
Tradition is about preserving the fire, not worshipping the ashes.
nishio.iconI see fully understood.icon, you are saying that instead of worshipping the ashes (=classical music), which are a byproduct of the fire and no longer change, we should strive to keep the fire (=composer), which is currently creating new light, alive, and that is what preserving tradition is all about.
The "felt meaning" created in Nishio by reading the metaphor has become a new symbol by COMPREHENSION
