Lovely, simple Plum painting by Su-sing Chow featured in his book Fundamentals of Chinese Floral Painting: Plum Volume 1.
Plum is a member of the classic group of subjects in Chinese Painting called the Four Gentleman. It is the gentleman that is the symbol of winter.
Chinese have revered the flower as a symbol of perseverance noting that it chooses to bloom in the harsh cold of winter.
