In Chinese art there are four revered plants; the plum, the orchid, the bamboo, and the chrysanthemum. The four plants correspond with junzi, or "gentlemen" in Confucianism and each stands for a different virtue and season.

Plum: winter, resilience and perseverance

Orchid: spring, nobility and integrity

Bamboo: summer, humility and simplicity

Chrysanthemum: autumn and resisting temptation

Shirt back features a quote from Confucius, “Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.”
