Four Gentlemen of Chinese Art — Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum

The Four Gentlemen — the soul of Chinese ink painting, now on your laser engraver.

For a thousand years, Chinese scholars have used four plants to represent the four seasons and the virtues of a true gentleman:

• Plum Blossom (梅) — Winter. Blooms in snow. Represents perseverance and hope.

• Orchid (兰) — Spring. Grows in hidden valleys. Represents elegance and humility.

• Bamboo (竹) — Summer. Bends but never breaks. Represents integrity and resilience.

• Chrysanthemum (菊) — Autumn. Blooms when others wither. Represents longevity and nobility.

Together, they are the Four Gentlemen (四君子), the most painted subjects in Chinese art history.
