Bud is a bud, which refers to a flower that is about to bloom, but has not yet opened, and is the state before the flower opens. Just like a child is in a period of vigorous growth, it is similar to the flower season and symbolizes the future.

Example: Ai Qing's poem "Spring": "In the dark of the east, many buds burst open."

Seedlings are young plants in the early stage of growth after seeds germinate. Just like children are just born seedlings, they are symbols of new strength and new hope.

For example, Tao Xingzhi's "Welcome the Year of Democracy": "Take out everyone's blood and sweat and cultivate the seedlings of democracy."
