Orchid Oriental Painting. Thin Wooden Frame.

Plum blossoms, orchids, chrysanthemums, and bamboo are four extremely important elements in Oriental painting.

Plum blossoms symbolize spring, orchids summer, chrysanthemums fall, and bamboo winter.

They are the foundational and most widely depicted subject matter.

Plum blossoms bloom even in the cold of spring.

Chrysanthemums bloom in late autumn, similarly enduring the cold. Bamboo is a resilient plant that maintains its green leaves even in the harsh winter.

Orchids may appear simple, but they incorporate a variety of Oriental painting techniques.

Orchids exude a solitary, fragrant scent in deep valleys.

They symbolize loyalty and evoke a noble image.

The appearance of orchids closely resembles Chinese characters. Chinese characters themselves originated from pictures, and therefore share a close resemblance to the writing style.
