This exquisite painting from the Qing Dynasty is titled Daylilies and Butterflies by the artist Yu Zhi. The daylily, also known as Xuan grass, symbolizes forgetfulness in Chinese culture. The flower's alternative name, worry-free, is a testament to its ability to evoke tranquility and peace of mind. Historically revered in China, the daylily is often referred to as the mother's flower. The famed Chinese poet Meng Jiao once wrote Daylilies bloom by the household steps, while a wandering child travels afar, a loving mother waits by the door, yet the daylilies blossom. Within the painting, the slender green leaves and vibrant blossoms of the daylilies attract two fluttering butterflies, serving as a metaphor for a wandering child returning to the warmth and joy of a mother's embrace.

The Sui Chao Tu or Auspicious Painting is a thematic representation that gained popularity during China's Song Dynasty. Crafted using a lifelike approach, the painting brings forth a unique combination of winter flora, subtly hinting at the imminent arrival of spring and heightening the festive ambiance. Traditionally, at the onset of every New Year, court painters were expected to present these seasonal artworks to adorn the imperial chambers during the Spring Festival. Not just limited to court painters, talented royals and poetic scholars would often offer such paintings as tokens of good wishes for the emperor. Though the compositions of Sui Chao Tu are typically simple, they are laden with deep symbolic meanings. This particular rendition by the Qing Dynasties Ju Lian features the peony, symbolizing wealth and good fortune. The narcissus and lingzhi mushroom suggest longevity, while the blooming plum blossoms herald the coming of spring, representing the rejuvenation of life. The presence of the vase is a metaphor for peace. Ju Lian, renowned for his boneless painting style, employs the same in this artwork, resulting in an exquisite and refined masterpiece.
