Early bloomers in Chinese paintings
9th Jun 2017
Chinese painters love nothing more than spring flowers when they depict spring scenes. Those early bloomers bring the first burst of color onto the drawing boards of a new year. Here is a list of spring flowers in Chinese paintings. You may find some fabulous scenes of spring, and you can just enjoy the pleasant season without going outdoors.
Canola plants
 |
Canola plants not only provide us with the world’s major source of vegetable oil, but also stunning spring scenes, when fields of canola flowers transfer the landscape into a huge golden blanket.
Peach blossoms
 |
Peach blossoms are highly appreciated in Chinese culture. It is believed that the peach possesses more vitality than any other tree because its blossoms appear before leaves sprout.
Pear blossoms
 |
Beautiful things are often fleeting. Pear blossoms always seem to bloom in profusion overnight and are soon washed away by the rain before people realize they are there.
Cherry blossoms
 |
Although the cherry blossom is part of the Japanese culture, the delicate pink flowers are enjoyed in most cities around the world.
Peony
 |
Peony is the traditional flower symbol of China, and was formerly grown only for the Chinese emperor. The massive blooms are often associated with fortune, prosperity, and nobility.
Crabapple blossoms
 |
The famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor of the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), Sun Simiao, considered the blossom as an herbal medicine to resist some heart diseases.
Magnolias
 |
Long-lived magnolia trees were loved by ancient Chinese royal families, and often planted in the temple.
