Kaifeng people love chrysanthemums, and every family has a tradition of raising and appreciating chrysanthemums. Kaifeng people love chrysanthemum not only because of its bright colors, but also because of its blooming personality in Leng Yan and Ao Shuang, which is the best symbol of Kaifeng people's perseverance and enterprising spirit.
