Flowering Plum
The Back Story:
The Flowering Plum
In Chinese painting the flowering plum, orchid, chrysanthemum and the bamboo embody modesty, loyalty, purity and integrity. Collectively they are known as ‘the four gentlemen’. The plum blossom is one of the few flowers that blossoms in winter, and thus represents the winter season and symbolizes courage and the hope for spring. Experts say that the plum blossom denotes the unyielding Chinese spirit that never bows to coldness and is the symbol of the spiritual world.
