What are the four flowers in China?

The four gentlemen's flowers in China refer to plum blossom, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. They are called "Four Gentlemen in Flowers" and "Four Gentlemen".

Among them, plum blossoms resist the cold, are beautiful and unique, have the characteristics of resisting ice and snow, and are a symbol of perseverance. Orchids, with a fragrant flower and a peanut in a secluded place, are often regarded as a symbol of humility.

Bamboo that never dies in winter has its own beauty. It is honest, humble, neither supercilious nor supercilious, and natural and unrestrained. It is often regarded as a symbol of elegant people with different customs. Chrysanthemum is not only beautiful and elegant, but also full of fragrance. After the flowers wither, it is dazzling and does not compete with others, so it has always been used to symbolize the unyielding noble character of nature.

These four gentlemen have their own characteristics:

May: I am proud of exploring waves and cutting ice and snow. I am proud of myself and am a noble and noble person.

Lan: The hollow valley is secluded, narcissistic, fragrant and elegant, and is a sage in the world;

Bamboo: the screen makes the moon, and it is chic and elegant all its life, which is modest;

Chrysanthemum: Shuang Ling is elegant, maverick and not aggressive. He is a hermit.

Extended data:

In the Ming Dynasty, Huang Fengchi compiled Four Spectres of Zhu Mei Lanju, and from then on, Mei Zhulanju was called the "Four Heavenly Kings". Painters use "four gentlemen" to flaunt the noble character of gentlemen.

Mei Lan and Zhu Ju occupy four seasons, and China literati regard them as "four gentlemen", which shows their understanding of time order and the meaning of life. Gao Meijie proudly stands on the shore, orchids are elegant and ethereal, bamboo is modest and straight, and chrysanthemums are chaste in Leng Yan. China people load their true feelings in a flower, a grass, a stone and a tree, thus making flowers, trees, grass and stones break away from or expand their original meanings and become symbols and metaphors of personality.

Plum blossom is known as the first of the "four gentlemen" in flowers, and it is also one of the "three friends of the old cold". Because of the harsh environment, it still blooms proudly in the branches in the fierce cold wind. It is the most backbone flower of the Chinese nation and the representative of the national soul. Mei's pride has inspired generations of China people to take risks, go forward bravely and persevere. We are more familiar with the phrase "when the flowers bloom, she laughs among the flowers", and its character and integrity are the freehand brushwork of the national spirit.
