Description

This painting of plum blossoms showcases the distinctive vibrancy and delicacy of the flowers. The plum blossoms in the painting are vividly colored and finely detailed, with lush and strong branches, creating an image full of vitality that reflects the resilient spirit of the plum blossoms even in harsh cold. The inscription next to the painting, "Cold fragrance without a permanent pistil, rich beauty with abundant branches," contains profound ancient poetry that conveys how the plum blossoms can emit a subtle fragrance even in the cold, and without glamorous pistils, still display a rich beauty. This reflects the ancient admiration for plum blossoms and their symbolization in Chinese culture of resilience and noble spirit.
