What is the national flower of China?

China's national flowers: peony and plum blossom.

As for the national flower, it was actually controversial at first. Peony represents wealth and good luck, and plum blossom represents self-improvement. However, people think that peony and plum blossom should both be national flowers, and the double national flower can better represent all ethnic groups in China.

Peony flowers are colorful, jade smiling pearls are fragrant, romantic and elegant, and are known as "the king of flowers". In terms of cultivation types, it can be divided into hundreds of varieties mainly according to the color of flowers. "Peony has many varieties and colors, with yellow, green, fleshy red, crimson and silvery red as the top grades, especially yellow and green. Peony flower is big and fragrant, so it is also called "national color and fragrance".

Plum blossom is the first of the top ten famous flowers in China. With orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, they are listed as four gentlemen, and with pine and bamboo, they are also called "three friends of the old cold". In the traditional culture of China, Mei gives people an incentive to work hard with her noble, strong and modest personality. In the cold, before the flowers bloom, the world is lonely, and spring has come.
