Plum blossoms, together with orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, are known as the "Four Gentlemen", and together with pine and bamboo, they are also known as the "Three Friends of Suihan". Chinese culture has a saying of "spring orchids, summer lotuses, autumn chrysanthemums and winter plum blossoms". Plum blossoms, with their noble, strong and modest character, inspire people to strive hard. In the severe cold, plum blossoms bloom before hundreds of flowers, and spring is the only one in the world.
