The three winter friends, also known as the three friends of the cold, the three friends of the cold season, or suihan sanyou, refer to the following three plants: pine, bamboo and apricot from japan (or prunus). Every year, as the winter approaches, most plants begin to wither. This is not the case with pine, bamboo and japanese oil, which is why they are known in china. They have entered the conventions of asian art, and together embody the virtues of perseverance, self-grating and modesty. They are highly respected as such in confucianism, and represent the primordial qualities of the literate man.
