blossom, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, these four plants were called “four gentlemen” in ancient China). Bamboo’s perseverance and perseverance have always been the pursuit of Chinese gentlemen. Cicada, in Chinese traditional painting, is a kind of sacred spirit, it represents purity, aloofness, psychic.Because cicadas inhabit tall trees and branches, they only eat dew and tree juice and do not eat fireworks, so they are used as a metaphor for people’s lofty and noble character.Bamboo tenacity, cicada character noble, together constitute a refined artistic conception of the picture.
