Plum blossoms not only have the noble character of not being afraid of frost and snow, blooming alone in the cold winter, ushering in the bright spring, but also have bright colors, rich fragrance, and graceful style, so they are deeply loved by people. It occupies a very high status in people's minds. Since ancient times, everyone has loved, appreciated and praised plum blossoms in poems and poems. The story of Master Lin Bu's "Plum Blossom Wife and Crane Son" is enough to illustrate. Because of this, among the poems with flowers as the theme, praising plum blossoms is the most popular, leaving many masterpieces that are still sung to this day.
