The plum blossom, which blooms in snowy winter amid severely low temperatures and harsh winds, has become a symbol of resilience in Chinese culture. Chinese poetry features four flowers among the "Four Gentlemen" to praise the highly prized virtues they represent, and the plum blossom tops the list. For thousands of years, numerous poems and paintings have depicted the noble flower.
