The Three Friends of Winter by the Song Dynasty painter Zhao Mengjian [1]
Traditional Chinese歲寒三友
Simplified Chinese岁寒三友

The Three Friends of Winter, also known as Suihan Sanyou, are the pine, bamboo, and plum.[2] The pine, bamboo and plum do not wither as the cold days deepen into the winter season unlike many other plants, which was noted by the Chinese.[3] Known by them as the Three Friends of Winter, they entered the conventions of East Asian culture.[4][5] Together they symbolize steadfastness, perseverance, and resilience.[6] They are highly regarded in Confucianism and as such represent the scholar-gentleman's ideal.[2][7]

History[edit]

The Three Friends of Winter are common in works of Chinese art[8] and those cultures influenced by it

The three are first recorded as appearing together in a ninth-century poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Zhu Qingyu (朱慶餘).[7] The Song Dynasty artist Zhao Mengjian (趙孟堅, c.1199-1264), among others of the time, made this grouping popular in painting.[7] The actual term "Three Friends of Winter" can be traced back to the earliest known mention in literature, the Record of the Five-cloud Plum Cottage (五雲梅舍記) from The Clear Mountain Collection (霽山集) by the Song Dynasty writer Lin Jingxi (林景熙, 1242-1310):[3][9]

"For his residence, earth was piled to form a hill and a hundred plum trees, which along with lofty pines and tall bamboo comprise the friends of winter, were planted."[3]
即其居累土為山，種梅百本，與喬松，脩篁為歲寒友。[9]

It will depend on the artifact involved exactly how the three plants are represented artistically. In many cases sprigs are superimposed to form a unified design. In others the plants are divided among artifacts displayed close together, as on separate scrolls; on wooden panels within buildings; and on contiguous screens, as in the example by Yamamoto Baiitsu below. In the representations on Imari porcelain from Japan only portions of the plants are unified on the medallion in dishes but can be treated more fully round the side of taller vessels.[10][better source needed]

The motif was later used by those in the West influenced by Eastern culture. Among these was Helen Hyde in her Japanese style woodblock print of 1913. Titled Three friends of winter, it depicts a young Japanese girl carrying a potted bonsai garden.[11][better source needed]

Cultural symbolism[edit]

Culturally, the Three Friends of Winter—pine, bamboo, and plum—are grouped together in the context of winter because they all flourish at that season.[2] For this reason they are commonly known as the Three Friends of Winter.[2] They are also referred to simply by their linked names: Song Zhu Mei (松竹梅) in Chinese, transliterated as Sho Chiku Bai in Japanese (literally "pine, bamboo, plum").[12]

In a Korean poem by Kim Yuki (1580-1658), the three friends are brought together in order to underline the paradoxical contrast:

Peach and plum of springtime, don't flaunt your pretty blossoms;
Consider rather the old pine and green bamboo at year's end.
What can change these noble stems and their flourishing evergreen?[13]

In Japan the three plants are known as 'the three auspicious friends'[failed verification] and are particularly associated with the start of the (lunar) New Year, appearing on greeting cards and as a design stamped into seasonal sweets.[14]

Love 911 (Korean: 반창꼬; RR: Banchanggyo; lit. "Bandage" or "Band-Aid") is a 2012 South Korean film starring Go Soo and Han Hyo-joo about an unlikely romance between a dedicated firefighter with a painful past and a cold-hearted doctor who is solely focused on her career.[2][3][4][5] It was released in theaters on December 19, 2012.[6][7]

Plot[edit]

Kang-il is a rescue firefighter whose wife died while he was helping someone else in an accident. Struggling with guilt for being unable to save his wife, Kang-il frantically jumps into dangers to rescue others. Mi-soo, a doctor at a general hospital, makes a misdiagnosis and gets sued by the patient's husband when the patient ends up slipping into a critical condition. In danger of losing her medical license, Mi-soo's lawyer advises her to convince Kang-il to testify against the patient's husband for an assault that occurred while the husband was in grief. She sets out to win Kang-il over by "dating him."

However, Kang-il is not one to fall for Mi-soo's schemes and gives her the cold shoulder. At last, Mi-soo volunteers to be a paramedic to work alongside Kang-il and get closer to him.

Despite the initial cat-and-dog relationship, as they struggle through the dangerous rescue sites together, they gradually fall in love. But their relationship falls apart since Kang-il cannot let go of the memories of his late wife and furthermore when he finds out the real reason why Mi-soo approached him. Kang-il is driven once again into chasing after the most dangerous rescue sites, while Mi-soo can no longer stop him. Then one day, when Kang-il gets buried under a collapsed building, Mi-soo runs after him not knowing whether he will survive.[8][9][10]
