This jar is elaborately painted and decorated with blue and white fighting colors. It has a special artistic effect and embodies the artistic achievements of Yongzheng fighting colors. The main body of the pot belly is decorated with "three friends in the cold". The pattern of "three friends of the cold and the old" in Songzhumei takes the meaning that the pines and bamboos grow green in the cold winter, while the plum blossom blooms in the early years of the year. The meaning of the three friends is that they are firm and firm in adversity, and they symbolize a long life. This allusion was first seen in the poems of Lin Jingxi (1241-1310), a patriotic poet of Song Dynasty, while the Sanyou pattern was very popular since the Yuan Dynasty. The picture is painted with green pines and green bamboos, and the plum blossom with red color, which is proud of being cold. The poem praises: "the bamboo has the power to hold the sky, the pine bears the cold of the year, the plum blossom is kuiwanhui, three friends and four hours of joy." It is ingenious to use poetry in painting.
