Peach as a fruit appears in several popular Chinese phrases such as the peach and the plum vying for beauty (left) symbolizing the setting of myriad flower blooming in spring, and the peach and the plum populating the world meaning a teacher's students are numerous, literally spread through out to serve humanity (right), both being salutary in connotation.
