Plum blossom and sunset ❤️

I once started reading a book called "Plum Blossom in a Vase of Gold", I don't remember what it was about, but the title of the book remained engraved on me. Now I imagine this flower in a vase made of gold and I feel how precious and beautiful it is.

There are beliefs in Serbia related to plums ...
In Serbia, an old woman who knows everything, after the wedding, the groom puts on his father's shirt, and the bride's mother's shirt, takes them by the hands and leads them to the orchard - where they visit their native tree - a plum tree three times. And there will be happiness and a lot of children.

When choosing a place to build a house, it is chosen where the plum tree grows best.

There is a belief in plums in Asian countries as well ...

In early spring in Japan, while the snow still covers the valleys of the hills, the plum blossom appears as a symbol of preservation and purity. From the land of the Rising Sun to the west, the plum carries with it many stories. Thus in China, the five petals of a flower represent the five blessings: lived old age, wealth, health, a pure soul of childlike love, and natural death. These are common motifs during the lunar New Year celebration. As the plum blossom was the first to bloom before the winter had receded, it represented the life force and energy of nature. In classical Chinese writings, the scenes of plum blossoms express courage and strength.

The three Friends of Winter, known as Suihan Sanyou are Pine, Bamboo and Plum. Every year, as cold days herald winter, many plants begin to land. The Chinese noticed that Pine, Bamboo and Plum are still fresh. Three Friends of Winter - Three Friends of Winter has found its place in the conventional art of East Asia. Together they symbolize endurance, integrity and modesty. The tradition of Confucianism symbolizes the student-gentleman ideal through the Three Friends of Winter...

The Korean poet Kim Yuki (1580 - 1658) sang three friends:

Peach and plum of springtime, don’t flaunt your pretty blossoms;
Consider rather the old pine and green bamboo at year’s end.
What can change these noble stems and their flourishing evergreen?

With such beliefs and legends, we will only imagine how peoples once lived in harmony with nature. They learned from her, and treated nature with respect and love ...
