Su Dongpo, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said: "Flowers bloom without interruption, and spring has nothing to do;" Peony is the most expensive but the Spring Festival Evening. Peony is the only flower that can never get tired of seeing, although it is only blooming in early summer, and often occupies the four seasons of spring in a year.
