Description
The orchid is the one flower that has always had a moral impact on Chinese culture and society. Its cultivation began of over two thousand years ago and its first association with humanity was said to be made by Confucius. Confucius developed a special love for the orchid from an early age. The subtle and yet lingering unique fragrance of the orchid also had a profound effect on him. He said: “If you are in the company of good people, it is like entering a room full of orchids. After a while, you become soaked in the fragrance and you don’t even notice it. If you are in the company of bad people, it is like going into a room that smells of fish. After a while, you don’t notice the fishy smell as you have been immersed in it.” The orchid’s fragrance was used to depict the sublimity of character, which Confucius believed was the human being’s most cherished goal. “Yellow Orchid and Mantis,” is a hand painted digital image created in Spadecaller’s Florida Studio on 5/15/2021.
