边景昭《雪梅双鹤图》

明代著名花鸟画家边景昭的《雪梅双鹤图》将白雪、白梅与单脚站立的白鹤置于同一画面,相映生辉、意趣盎然,造就了一幅妍丽生动、工致绝伦的花鸟画作品,也体现出《诗经》中“鹤鸣于九皋,声闻于野”的境界。The crane has served as a favorite subject for many traditional Chinese arts, frequently bestowed with noble, pure, and elegant connotations in the works of generations of art masters. "Snow Plums and Twin Cranes" by Chinese flower-and-bird painter Bian Jingzhao of the Ming Dynasty combines white snow, white plums and white cranes to wonderful effect, embodying the artistic concept of "cranes singing in the middle of the marsh, with their sound being heard in the wild" from "The Book of Songs" - the oldest existing anthology of Chinese poetry.
