Among them, Chu Mei, Jin Mei, Liang Meiwei, Tang Mei and Song Mei are the representatives, and there are five Gu Mei.
Chu Mei: At Zhanghua Temple in Shashi, Hubei Province.
It is said that it was planted by King Chu Ling.
It has been more than 2,500 years, and it is the oldest ancient beauty.
Jin Mei: In Jiangxin Temple in Huangmei, Hubei.
It is said that it was planted by Zhidun, a famous monk in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it has been 1600 years.
In late winter and early spring, the plum blossoms twice, which is called "Ermei" (another saying is that it is named Ermei because the whole flowering period runs through winter and spring).
The log has withered, and now it is a new branch developed in recent years.
Liang Meiwei: The Capitol Hill in Tiantai Mountain, Zhejiang Province.
According to legend, it was planted by Master Guan Ding, a disciple of the founder of Buddhist Tiantai Temple, more than 300 years ago. Tang Mei: There are two kinds of ancient beautiful trees called "Tang Mei".
One plant was planted in the yard of Tang Ming, Chaoshan, Zhejiang Province. It is said that it was planted during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty.
A piece of Heishui Temple in Kunming, Yunnan, is said to have been planted by Daoan monks in the first year of Kaiyuan in Tang Dynasty (AD 7 13).
Song Mei: Baochi Temple in Chaoshan, Zhejiang.
Generally speaking, plum blossoms have five petals, but this Song Mei plant has six petals, which is very strange.
Japan: In the 4th century, with the introduction of China culture into Japan, the West was widely planted in Japan; Except New Zealand, it is rarely planted in Europe and America.
Because plum trees must have a history of 3000 years, plum blossoms should also have a history of 3000 years (in my humble opinion)
But I was told that the record should be 2500 years.
