In ancient times, literati's love for plum blossoms was expressed through poems, such as Wang Anshi's plum blossoms, Li Shangyin's, Lu You's plum blossom quatrains and so on. Between the lines, people's special feelings for this plant are revealed, praising its nobility. By writing poems, we can see that they put their spiritual things in. The reason why China ancient literati compared plum blossom to a noble thing is also caused by many factors.

First, the flowering period is special. Many plants or flowers will choose to bloom in spring, the season when everything recovers, but plum blossoms are different, which also highlights the particularity of this plant. For ancient literati, this is also a symbol of spirit, because they stand upright in the cold and are not afraid of snow. This plant is very rare in nature. Cold ling blooms alone, which is described by the poet. No matter the process from growth to opening, it is unknown, which also represents an elegant and indisputable quality.

Second, plum blossom, which represents the spiritual level, can stand upright in the cold wind. Even in the face of a sinister environment, it still maintains its posture and is a bright color in the snow. In winter, due to climatic factors, most plants will wither, which can also reflect the perseverance of plum blossoms. Poets who emigrate can see their own shadow in plum blossoms, and through the description of plum blossoms, they can also pin their thoughts on the spiritual level. It represents not only a plant, but also a symbol of spirit.

Third, it has a special meaning. This plant is not an exotic variety. It is a unique traditional flower and tree in China. In traditional culture and spiritual expression, it is appropriate to use plum blossom as a metaphor. In spring, when flowers bloom, plum blossoms are unknown. But when winter comes, it blooms bravely in front of the cold wind, much like the image of a gentleman worshipped and respected by the ancients.
