In Chinese culture, the pine, bamboo and plum blossom are known as the Three Friends of Winter for their resilient qualities and ability to thrive in harsh winter conditions.

The Pine which is an evergreen, is prized for its fortitude and longevity. Another evergreen is the resilient Bamboo, which is known for its strength and tenacious growth in marginal lands. Its flexible stalks that yield to the wind are associated with being adaptable in difficult situations. Meanwhile, the Plum Blossom being the first flowers to bloom in spring, represents the beginnings of a good period and of successfully overcoming all hardships.

The Three Friends of Winter also features a pair of Deers. Since ancient times, the Deer has been a symbol of speed, endurance, good health and long life. The Deer is called “Luk” in Chinese, as in Fuk ‘Luk’ Sau (the three Star deities), which carries the meanings of prosperity and good income, so it is also a symbol of riches abundant.
