Song Yang Wujiu "Four Plum Blossom Picture" Volume (Part)
Plum is a traditional flower and fruit unique to China, with an application history of more than 3,000 years. The Book of Books says: "If you make a harmonious soup, you will only have salt plums." The Book of Rites: Neize records: "Peach plums and eggs are salted." "The Book of Songs·Zhou Nan" says: "There are plums on the fold, but they are actually seven!" Plum is also mentioned in poems such as "Qin Feng·Zhongnan", "Chen Feng·Tomb Gate", and "Cao Feng·Lijiu". The rise of ornamental plum blossoms began roughly in the early Han Dynasty. " Miscellaneous Notes of Xijing " records: "In the early Han Dynasty, Shanglin Garden was cultivated, and famous fruits and trees were offered from afar, including red plums and plums." The plum blossom varieties at this time should be both suitable varieties that are both beautiful and strong, and may belong to the two types of Jiang plums and official pinks. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Yang Xiong wrote "Fu of Shudu" and said: "It is made of cherry blossoms and plums, and the trees are made of mulan." It can be seen that about 2,000 years ago, plums were used as garden trees for urban greening.
Sui and Tang Dynasties were the period of art and plum blossoms gradually. It is said that during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Master Zhang'an (561-632) of the Lord of Guoqing Temple in Tiantai Mountain, Zhejiang, had planted plum trees in front of the temple. Song Jing, a famous official in the Tang Dynasty, wrote the "Fu of Plum Blossoms" with the words "Only stepping in early spring, one can achieve one's own success." According to the records of poetry and prose, the plum blossom varieties from the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties mainly belong to the Jiang plum type or the official pink type. In Sichuan, cinnabar type varieties first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and were called "red plum" at that time. "Complete Tang Poetry Talk" records: "There are several red plum trees in the county pavilions of Shuzhou." Today, , Chongqing County (i.e. ancient Shuzhou) has many varieties of cinnabar type, which obviously has its historical roots.

The brokenness is to compete for treasure and cherish it. It was first grounded from a pen. Gradually forget the pen and ink. Forget both the heart and hands. Melt and create. The clouds in the window are melting. The barrier stone is abrupt. The forest is filled with trees. Birds and birds sway their wives. Poor vulgarity. The touch and copy were all out. Pretend to be genuine and fake. Danfan praises the splendor. A thousand golds are easy to get into trouble. Ten preys of the precious swallow stone. Rice is also earth for hundreds of generations. Reward what God knows. There is no such thing as Linglun in the world. The strange sound was lonely. Good medicine is hard to meet again. Hold your arms long and breathe. Picture on the left and book on the right. Take it to be pleasant and admired. Tao describes emotions. Close to the funeral. I think it is a businessman in the market. True and fake are the matter. Reversely harming emotions. Blind and deaf ears. Sadly. Zhizheng Jiashen (1344 AD) The Taoist of Plum Blossoms writes in writing.
