The Plum Blossom has been depicted and delineated on since the Song Dynasty. It belongs to a recurring motif in Chinese art and literature known as the “Four Gentlemen,” in which a titular flower or plant represents a season out of the year. The flower represents its season perfectly in that it is known to bloom brilliantly in the harshest and most unforgiving of conditions.
The Plum Gentleman
Isolated in a drift of frozen snow.
the plum blossom stands awesome and proud.
motionless, its branches frozen
And so let us
exhaust the cup
to its remarkable nobleness.
