What do pine, bamboo, plum and chrysanthemum stand for?

The winter product "Three Friends in Cold Year" is loose, firm and firm, and still stands upright in the ice and snow; Bamboo with hollow joints still stands upright in the snow and ice; Mei, the proud snow frost is still blooming in the ice and snow. Innocent old cold friend, ice and snow are really gentlemen! In the middle of winter, all the trees withered, and under the cold, only the color of pine and bamboo remained unchanged; It's freezing, flowers are pale, and only plum blossoms are in full bloom in the snow. The pine, bamboo and plum blossoms of the "Three Friends of Cold Age" are praised by the world together with this proud frost and snow fighting and firm character of iron bones and ice hearts. The saying of three friends at the age of cold originated from Su Shi. In the second year of North Yuanfeng, Su Shi was persecuted by powerful ministers and placed under the control of Huangzhou. He planted crops, built garden walls and built houses on the wasteland. The house is named "Tang Xue" and the walls are painted with snowflakes; In the garden, pine, cypress, bamboo, plum and other flowers and trees are planted everywhere. One spring, Xu Junyou, the magistrate of Huangzhou, visited him in Tang Xue. When they met, he joked, "You live in this room and sleep in this room. Looking around, there is snow everywhere. It is really cold and snowy, don't you think it is too cold and snowy? " Su Shi pointed to the flowers and trees in the courtyard and laughed heartily: "Wind and spring are two kinds of music, and pine and bamboo are three friends." Wind and the sound of spring are two kinds of music that can relieve loneliness. Pine and cypress with evergreen branches and leaves, bamboo that never withers in winter and plum blossom in the snow are three kinds of good friends who can accompany the cold winter. Later generations often praise noble morality and evergreen life with "three friends and old cold" In the ancient culture with a long history, there are poems and songs about "three friends are old and cold" everywhere; The characters of pine, bamboo and plum are also fuller in the descriptions of many poets. Many poems often contain the meaning of expressing one's will Therefore, among poets, whenever pine trees are mentioned, they will think of Wang Wei. In his pastoral poems, pine trees are always tall and straight images-"there is moonlight in the pine forest and crystal stone in the stream"; When you mention bamboo, you will think of Su Shi, who has been upright and upright all his life, planting bamboo, using bamboo, painting bamboo, and chanting "I would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo"; When it comes to plum blossoms, you will think of Mei's wife, Lin Bu, and the crane who loves Mei. She has been guarding Xiaomei in the mountain garden with "a faint shadow and a faint fragrance floating in the shallow water" all her life. Poetry in Song Dynasty embodies the pursuit of faith by ancient poets in China. Reading these poems, just like poets of different dynasties and backgrounds, under the call of an old pine tree, a bamboo forest or a plum blossom, they travel through time and space and pour out their pursuit of ideal spirit. This year's cold friend is a plant that has always been loved by literati and painters. Because they stand proudly in the cold winter, are not afraid of the wind and frost, and embody the noble sentiments of human beings, and have been praised and praised by people for thousands of years. However, it is not a simple matter to express it perfectly with the art form of Chinese painting. It is not difficult to describe only in form. But it is not easy to draw the temperament of pine plum and bamboo horse in the ice skates and snow swords. Both paintings are "Three Friends in Cold Years". If the author's cultural accomplishment and artistic attainments are different, the artistic conception and artistic expression of the painting are also different. I found that the painter's writing is different from being stiff and vigorous, from being frivolous and heavy, and from being dull and smooth. This has something to do with the painter's basic skills, mind and perception of things, which can't be drawn with a pen. Moreover, within the scale, it is necessary to make a reasonable layout, arrange properly, adjust the relationship between black and white, breathe freely, broaden our thinking, and highlight the theme and render our thoughts. Without sincere respect and real efforts, it is difficult to do it.

Over the years, I have seen dozens of calligraphy and painting exhibitions, large and small. Whenever I see pine, bamboo and plum, I will stay for a few minutes before painting. Every time I look at it, it's like being baptized, and I suddenly feel empty. Ten years ago, when I was visiting the Yellow Crane Tower, I was suddenly shocked by the freehand brushwork of three friends in the cold year. The main picture of the painting is a vigorous pine tree, occupying the top and right side of the picture; Under the pine tree, the thin plum blossoms stand proudly in the gloomy and gray snow; Under the plum blossom, a green bamboo stands upright and is faintly visible. Pictures of pine, bamboo and plum are arranged from top right to bottom left. Loose and simple, plum blossoms stand proudly, and bamboo is cold and green. Whether pine, plum or bamboo are painted with hard bones, such as iron clank. Its pen and ink are just right when splashing. It can be seen that the brushwork is the kind of performance that has been suppressed in the chest for decades, and it is thick and thin, and it is not urgent at all. Looking at this painting, I can't help but be in awe. Unfortunately, I didn't bring my camera at that time, but I still regret it now.

Three kinds of plants in different families were praised by China literati in past dynasties, and became the symbol of friendship integrity, loyalty, chastity, fortitude and longevity. They were praised as three friends in cold years, and first frost was a true gentleman. For thousands of years, music and Taoism have been said to be unique and have been passed down for a long time. The reason is that pine, bamboo and plum are noble in character, proud of snow in first frost, and pure and clear in ice! Or because of its unique evergreen, exuberant life, or unyielding life characteristics, it won the recommendation of literati, and gradually evolved into a world-recognized * * * * knowledge tradition, and then it was recited, painted or carved by literati or writers, forming an auspicious totem symbolizing pine, bamboo and plum, which was widely circulated around the world and accepted and confirmed by future generations without great objection. However, pine, bamboo and plum are superior to other plants and flowers because of their unique posture and image, eclectic lifestyle and growth skills that are not affected by the environment. Fortunately, it won the favor of literati and won the title of gentleman. But Matsutakemi also surprises people at the right time, shows herself at the right time, and leaves an example for future generations to be an official, a man and a world!

When we sweat like rain in the green, toil in the hot blue customs, and usher in the climax of golden harvest in joy, we don't know how to cross or avoid the snowy white season. Is it necessary to cross or avoid the cold season? No, people without strong will will choose to cross or avoid it, but a person with perseverance and strength will definitely integrate the character and spirit of "three friends in the cold" into his body and into every minute of life. In fact, winter is a beautiful season. We can think about the new life in the coming year in the silence of winter; We can challenge our will in the cold winter; In the innocence of winter, we can find every sign of progress that the "three old friends" have given us in life. First of all, as human beings, we should learn from evergreen pine trees and inject youthful vitality into ourselves at all times. To learn to stand upright bamboo, tell yourself to stand upright, no matter in a short place (people living in the bottom or low position) or in a high place (people at a high level or high position). We should learn from Mei's strength and motivate ourselves. No matter how cold and severe it is, we must walk step by step. Secondly, when we do things, we must learn from the loose backbone and not be bent down by heavy snow. No matter what difficulties we meet, we will get through them. We should learn bamboo knots, make a summary and extend it upward, try our best to do everything well, whether it is success or failure, make a summary, summarize the experience of success and failure, and provide them with what to do in the future; We should learn from Mei's mind, ignite a fiery soul with a fiery face, and do everything well with passion. Finally, in the face of society, we should learn to be lush and grow into a towering tree, give others more opportunities to enjoy the cool (under the big tree), and give more care to others; To learn the image of bamboo, build yourself a belly as ethereal as bamboo, which can hold thousands of ships (the prime minister can carry ships in his belly); We should learn from Mei's ambition not to be afraid of the cold, but she brought the messenger of spring to give others more warmth or help in the cold, that is, not to send an umbrella after the rain, but to be a hero afterwards. Pine, bamboo and plum, the "three friends of the old cold", are the fine products of our life experience. Let's follow her through winter and life in a down-to-earth manner and usher in a bright spring.

Please remember our "Old Cold Three Friends"!
