Plum blossoms painted with ink and watercolours on rice paper. Plum blossoms are one of the "four gentlemen" or "four nobles" of traditional Chinese art, together with orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums. Plum blossoms symbolise the end of winter, spring and renewal. They often bloom in early spring, when the weather is still cold, withstanding even snow and frost. For this reason they are associated with perseverance - ability to withstand hardships.
