Symbol meaning

The plum blossom is a significant symbol in East Asian culture, especially in China and Japan. It represents the beauty and renewal of spring, as it is one of the first plants to bloom in spring, and its flowering symbolizes the end of winter and the beginning of new life.

In China, plum blossom belongs to the "Four Lords" group, which includes bamboo, chrysanthemum, orchid and plum blossom. These plants represent the seasons and spiritual virtues. The plum blossom symbolizes winter and courage, as it can bloom even when the ground is still covered in snow.

In Japan, the flowering of the ume trees is a major annual event celebrated with the ume hanami festival. These festivals are comparable to the more popular cherry blossom, Sakura hanami, but are held slightly earlier, usually from February to March.

In addition, the plum blossom symbolizes perseverance and defiance, as it blooms in cold weather conditions. Because of this, it is a popular subject in both traditional and contemporary art in Asia, depicting inner beauty and strength.
