Jiang Hanting was a respected bird and flower painter and part of Wu Hufan’s circle of friends in Shanghai. Here he combines peonies, wax plum, and pine with cabbage, garlic, kaki (persimmon), and lingzhi fungus, all seasonal and symbolic plants and fruits associated with good wishes for the Lunar New Year celebration. The light pastel tones in green, orange, and pink complement each other and give the painting a fresh and festive appearance.
