Description
This ink painting of plum blossoms displays the elegance and resilience of the flowers. The branches are twisted and robust while the blossoms are sparse and delicate, blooming strongly even as the winter snow begins to melt, showcasing the unique pride of the plum blossoms. The inscription beside the painting, "As the snow just begins to melt over the half-moon pond, from beyond the fence, two or three branches are seen. The pure fragrance is so profound, it seems to touch the divine heart, not known to the ordinary grass and trees," expresses that, despite the harsh cold, the plum blossoms maintain their vitality and beauty, with a fragrance that could touch the divine, incomparable to ordinary flora. This is not only a praise of the beauty of the plum blossoms but also symbolizes a spirit of purity and strength.
