The implication of litchi and persimmon in Chinese painting

Traditional China people believe in geomantic omen, and they like to look at geomantic omen in everything they do. They just seek spiritual and psychological comfort without superstition. When painting, painters always pin their own thoughts on painting. The so-called "painting in poetry and poetry in painting" is the highest realm of painting.

Litchi is homophonic for "benefiting branches", so it is said that the benefits are full of branches, so it is also a very auspicious theme of Chinese painting. Because painters paint themes that they like and are very familiar with, if there is such an inspirational theme, it must be a painter from the south, and litchi-themed paintings are rare, so it will feel very novel and unique.

Persimmons have been loved by many people since ancient times, and there are many descriptions of persimmons in the poems left behind. Persimmon is also a common theme in Chinese painting. The shape of persimmon fruit is rich and round, and the shape is wishful. Because "persimmon" and "thing" are homophonic, it is used to mean "all the best". The persimmon works are round and full, and the composition is appropriate, which means very auspicious. There are also pairs of magpies standing on bamboo baskets, which means that "happy events are coming". Zhang Leiyuan's "There are many happy events in Taihang" is worth it.
