Draw a picture of the beautiful women watching flowers in the courtyard. The bamboo fence is full of flowers. Here, the painter highlighted the purple, pink, white, red and other peonies. Peony is known as the “king of flowers” because of its plump flowers and leaves, rich fragrance and graceful and gorgeous body, and has become a symbol of good fortune and prosperity. By painting peonies and the bamboo carving ganoderma lucidum held in the hands of women, the painter implied the good wishes of “prosperity and prosperity”
