The famous sayings about the three friends (pine, bamboo and plum) are:

First, it is loose.

1, the snow is loose and loose. -"The Pine" by modern Chen Yi?

A thick layer of snow pressed on the pine branches, but the pine trees remained tall and straight.

2. Although the peaches and plums are lonely when they are in full bloom, they begin to bloom after more snow and frost. -Don Li Shangyin titled Komatsu

Although you are unknown when peaches and plums are in full bloom, the frost and snow fall behind and look so lush.

At that time, people didn't know Lingyunmu, so they waited for Lingyun to start to grow taller. -Don Du Xunhe's Komatsu

At that time, those people didn't know that the tree could soar to the sky, and people didn't say it was tall until it soared to the sky.

Second, bamboo.

1, bleak and snowy, not to be humiliated. -Stone "Yushitai Four Bamboo Poems of Yushu, Sophora japonica and Bamboo and cypress"

Bamboo looks cold and depressed in the snow, but it can be broken and cannot be insulted.

2, bamboo is not resistant to miscellaneous, aiming to be a Qingyun. -Qing Yuanmei's "Dianzhu".

The habit of bamboo is that it doesn't like to be mixed with other things, and its ambition is outstanding.

3, water can be my friend, bamboo can solve my heart deficiency. -Tang Bai Juyi's Bamboo on the Pool.

Water can make people indifferent, so I take water as my friend; Zhu knows humility, so he can be my teacher.

Third, May.

1, plum blossoms smell good without freezing. -Don Juan Berry Zen Master "Ode to the Opening Class"

Without severe cold, plum blossoms can't smell incense.

2. There are some plums in the corner, and Ling cold opens them alone. -plum blossom in Anshi, Wang Song

There are some plum blossoms in the corner, blooming alone in the cold.

3, scattered into mud and crushed into ash, only the fragrance is the same. -Song Luyou's "Bu Operator Yongmei"
