Original Painting - Sunflowers
 
In Chinese culture, sunflowers ( xiàngrìkuí) are admired for their vibrant appearance and association with positivity and vitality. While not deeply rooted in traditional symbolism, they have gained popularity in modern times for their cheerful demeanor and sunny disposition, often used decoratively and symbolically in contemporary art and culture. Their bright, golden petals and inclination to face the sun evoke sentiments of warmth, energy, and optimism, representing unwavering devotion. Additionally, sunflowers are linked to abundance and good fortune, making them a popular choice in celebrations and as gifts. Their vibrant presence is believed to bring joy and uplift spirits.
