Blossoms Are A Favorite
Plum blossoms are a favorite of artists, who have depicted them in various seasons in painting and poetry. Plum blossoms symbolize purity and resilience. They are the first to bloom in spring; as such, they are regarded as an auspicious sign of new beginnings. In Chinese mythology, plum trees were said to have been planted by Nüwa (the goddess of the invention) after she created life on earth from clay or mud at the beginning of time; this was an act that helped restore the balance between heaven and earth after the chaos had ensued from a battle between two deities known as Yanluo Shouzi (or “Solitary Daoist”).
