The significance of peony in China traditional culture.

When Peony was in bloom, it was full of flowers and brilliant. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the whole country fell for it, and the Peony Fair became a carnival in the capital Chang 'an. Thus, since the Tang and Song Dynasties, peony has become a symbol of auspiciousness, happiness and prosperity, passed down from generation to generation. From 65438 to 0959, Premier Zhou Enlai said in Luoyang: "Peony is the national flower of our country. It is elegant and magnificent, and it is a symbol of prosperity, happiness and happiness of our Chinese nation. " Today, this cultural symbolic meaning of peony has been given a new meaning, because it very aptly represents the beautiful image of China's reform, opening up and bright future, has distinct characteristics of the times, and expresses the ideals and aspirations of the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country.
