Pine, bamboo and plum are also called three friends of cold. Why?

Introduction: In ancient times, the most common decorative pattern was a three-friend cold and summer picture composed of pine, bamboo and plum, which was very important for description in China's long cultural tradition.

There are countless poems and songs by Song, Zhu and Mei, which are generally called "Three Friends of Old Cold". Next, Bian Xiao will analyze it with you. Pine, bamboo and plum are also called three friends of cold. Why?

First of all, it is Chang Qingsong.

Ancient people's praise of pine trees has always been the quality of standing proudly in cold weather, so even if it is a big risk, it will not be afraid of cold, frustration or even heavy pressure. When people describe pine trees, they usually stand firm in harsh environment and cold. Evergreen seasons express the firmness of pine trees, and at the same time establish the position of pine trees among literati. At the same time, it is also known as the head of the three friends, which means that sincere gentlemen praise the moral integrity of pine trees.

Second, the way of a gentleman is bamboo.

People's praise for bamboo generally insists that the green hills are not relaxed and the roots are broken rocks. So tell people that when they encounter difficulties, they must firmly seize any opportunity in life, even if they are beaten, they still have to save themselves. Moreover, the hollowness of bamboo means that people should be modest, while bamboo festival means that people need to observe moral integrity, and literati symbolizes the character and integrity of a gentleman.

Third, for pure jade and clean plum.

Plum blossoms usually bloom quietly in the ice and snow, not to compete with other flowers for spring, so it reminds people not to forget their roots and expresses the unpretentious side of plum blossoms. The reason why China people regard Zhu as the three friends of the old cold is that they are fearless in the face of the wind and frost, and they have been silently dedicated and experienced several cold days. At the same time, they contain people's tenacious strength and tenacious temperament, and they have always inspired people regardless of the wind and rain. Pine, bamboo and plum are evergreen and resolute, which is not only a noble style, but also a symbol of vitality.
