Symbols represent a wide variety of things. When people see a particular symbol, they associate it with something meaningful or standard. With this, each country has their own national symbols to identify themselves from others and to unite its citizens through nationalism.

They’re beasts of burden, able to do almost everything that needs to be done on the rice fields, including carry the farmer and his goods. But, without any laws to recognized them, they’ll remain an unofficial symbol of the country.
