Since the publication of guernica, there have been different views on the symbolic meaning of guernica. According to the poet La Liea, it was on the day when he was bombed in guernica that he told Picasso about the bombing of guernica. Laglia knows the whole process of Picasso's creation, and of course his explanation is the most authoritative: the dying horse in the center of the picture represents the Spanish National Front and the China government; Soldiers who fell to the ground and died said that under the inspiration of the spirit of national supremacy, they vowed to defend the country and sacrificed heroically; The flowers in full bloom in his hand symbolize the hope of * * * and the country; * * * Republic, representing the will of the broad masses of people and the ever-burning lamp of truth, is represented by the woman sticking out of the window and the lamp in her hand; The woman in the flame is a symbol of the fall of the national supremacist into the Spanish hell. ...

In this painting, Picasso made full use of symbolism. Later, Picasso himself explained: "Where cows represent violence, horses represent the people. Yes, I used symbolism there, but I didn't use it in other works. "
