Loquat implication in painting and calligraphy

Loquat has been regarded as a good fruit and one of auspicious foods since ancient times, because it keeps frost in autumn, blooms in winter, bears fruit in spring and matures in summer. Moreover, loquat has been regarded as a beautiful symbol of nobility, beauty, auspiciousness and prosperity since the Tang and Song Dynasties.

Loquat trees are neat and beautiful, with thick leaves, spring all the year round, white furry new leaves sprouting in spring, pregnant in autumn and blooming in winter, ripe in spring and ripe in summer. Among the green leaves, there are many golden pills, which the ancients called good fruits. General meaning: son inherits his father's business.

Loquat is also called Lu Ju, Lu Zhi, Jin Wan, Guo Yan and Jiao Zi. Loquat, unlike most fruit trees, blooms in autumn or early winter, and the fruit matures from spring to early summer, earlier than other fruits.

Therefore, they are called "four seasons loners". Loquat has white or light yellow flowers, five petals, about 2 cm in diameter, and five to ten flowers in bundles, which can be used as honey source crops.
