Water lilies, 睡莲, rise out of the water or float on the surface, opening during the day or at night. The petals have smooth or spine-toothed edges, and can be rounded or pointed. Each flower has at least eight petals in shades of white, pink, blue, or yellow.

The water lily is a common subject in brush painting not only because of their beautiful shape, but also because they are a symbol of purity in China.
