Excuse me, where did the word "peony" first appear?

Emperor Peony is an inherent specialty flower in China, with thousands of years of natural growth and more than 2,000 years of artificial cultivation history. Its flowers are large, beautiful, colorful and fragrant, which have been praised by people of all ages and have high ornamental and medicinal value. Since Qin and Han Dynasties, medicinal plants have been included in Shennong Herbal Classic, and there are many articles scattered in various ancient books. Peony culturology, including botany, horticulture, pharmacology, geography, literature, art, folklore and other disciplines, is a part of China culture and folklore, and a complete cell of China culture. Through it, we can gain insight into the overall characteristics of China culture, which is the phenomenon of "cultural holography". The origin of the imperial peony culture, if the imperial peony entered poetry from the Book of Songs, was about 3,000 years ago. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was recorded in Shennong Herbal Classic that peony was a medicinal plant, and the royal peony had entered pharmacology. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Yang Zihua painted peony in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and peony has entered the art field. According to historical records, Yang Di built the West Garden in Luoyang, ordered the world to grow exotic flowers and plants, and Yizhou planted 20 boxes of peony in the West Garden. Since then, peony has entered the royal garden and set foot in gardening. In the Tang Dynasty, a large number of poems about imperial peony appeared, and Liu Yuxi's "Only peony is the true national color, and the capital moves when flowers bloom" is well known. Li Bai's poem "The clouds should be beautiful in clothes and flowers, and the threshold of spring breeze is thick" is a swan song throughout the ages. Since the Song Dynasty, besides a large number of peony poems, there have also appeared peony monographs, such as Ouyang Xiu's Luoyang Peony, Lu You's Tian Peng Peony, Qiu Jun's Peony Honor and Disgrace, and Zhang Bangji's Chen Zhou Peony. Sui has Preface to Imperial Peony, even Peony Flower Spectrum, Wang has Fang Qun Spectrum, Xue Fengxiang has Peony History of Bozhou Empire, Hao has Guang Qun Fang Spectrum, Su has Cao Nan Peony Spectrum and Peng Yu has Cao Zhou Peony Spectrum. The peony poem "Wen Bin" scattered in various miscellaneous works and collections of past dynasties, peony legends and stories spread all over the folk flower town, and peony cultural phenomena are common in sculpture, sculpture, painting, music, drama, clothing, daily life and diet. After liberation, the cultivation of court peony has made great progress, and peony culture has been paid more and more attention, and a large number of peony researchers and experts have appeared. Peony culture is compatible with many sciences and has a very wide composition, including philosophy, religion, literature, art, education, customs, people's feelings and other cultural fields. The cultural information provided by peony culture can reflect the basic picture of national culture and conform to the "holographic law" of the universe. Peony culture is a part of national culture. Compared with other cultures, peony culture has the following characteristics: strong biological characteristics; (2) strong pharmacological properties; (3) Strong horticultural characteristics; (4) Strong aesthetic characteristics; (5) Strong literary features; (6) Strong local flavor; (7) a strong sense of wealth; (8) Strong aftertaste of life. Peony culture is a combination of spiritual civilization and material civilization, which is true from the development history of peony at all times and at all times. Peony develops in prosperous times, and it is liked in peaceful and prosperous times, and so is peony culture. History has once again proved the profound philosophy of "national prosperity and a hundred flowers blossom". Historically, the peony in Luoyang, the ancient capital, is the richest and best. There are two traditional famous species, one is Yao Huang with yellow flowers, and the other is Wei Zi with purple flowers, which have been passed down to this day. "There is no peony in Luoyang", and peony is designated as the city flower of Luoyang, and April 15-25 every year is designated as the "Luoyang Peony Fair". During the flower show, Chinese and foreign tourists gathered to enjoy the flowers. Besides, peony is called the treasure of flowers in China. Peony Legend The legend of purse peony: In ancient times, there was a state called Ruzhou 200 miles southeast of Luoyang City, and there was a small town called Miaoxia in the west of the state. Surrounded by mountains, the scenery is pleasant, and there is a wonderful custom: once young men and women are engaged, the woman must personally send a purse embroidered with Yuanyang to the man, which goes without saying. If it is decided to get married early, it must be embroidered by the wife's sister-in-law or the elder sister who has passed the door in the neighborhood as a lifelong token. There lived a beautiful girl named Jade Girl in the town. Jade girl Fang is eighteen years old, ingenious, and naturally intelligent. She is skilled in embroidery and weaving, especially the various flower patterns embroidered on her purse, which often make bees and butterflies fall on it, showing the depth of kung fu. Such a good girl, the suitors naturally broke the threshold, but they were all politely declined by the girl's family. It turned out that the girl had her own man and the family acquiesced. It's a pity that the young man has been exiled to the Great Wall for two years, with no news and no wallet. Jade girl looks forward to it every day, thinks about it every night, and misses it hard, so she embroiders a purse every month to talk about her worries and hangs it on the peony branches in front of the window. Over time, the purse formed a string and became what people called "purse peony". Legend in Brother Liu: At the end of Sui Dynasty, in the east of Miaoxia Town, Ruzhou, Henan Province, there was a place where the Liu family lived-Liujiaguan. Here is a beautiful and naive girl, the younger brother of a scholarly family, who likes playing chess, painting and calligraphy since childhood and is very popular with relatives and neighbors. Then her parents died one after another, and the girl followed her brother and sister-in-law who was an official in Chang 'an to settle in Chang 'an. After the demise of the Sui Dynasty, my brother and sister-in-law died one after another, leaving her alone, with nowhere to go, who saw through the world of mortals and became a nun. When she became a monk, the girl brought Bai Mudan, a native of her family, to buddhist nun to show her dedication to Buddhism and lead a totally clean life. Under her careful management, Bai Mudan is very lush and beautiful. A plant is full of thousands of flowers, and the flowers are full of satisfaction. It rises from the building, with a slight blush in the white, crystal clear and moist, like a beauty's skin and a child's jade face. Viewers all admire its beauty, so every April, many believers come to this temple to worship the Buddha and watch the flowers, taking pleasure in offering flowers to the Buddha, and the incense is getting stronger and stronger. Therefore, the flowers came from the hands of "Liu's mansion", hence the name "Liu's pavilion" and "Liu Shige". Later, this peony variety spread to Tian Peng, Sichuan, Heze, Shandong and other places, and its fragrance spread far and wide. The legend of Wu Zetian and Peony: Wu Zetian became an emperor and went to Shangyuan for drinking and enjoying the snow one winter. After drinking, I wrote a five-character poem on the white silk: I swam to the Yuan Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty and quickly reported my spring knowledge. Flowers must be placed overnight, don't wait for the breeze to blow. After writing, she asked the maid-in-waiting to take it to the garden and burn it to inform the flower god. After the imperial edict was burned, it frightened the Baihua Fairy. The next day, all the flowers opened except Yudan. Wu Zetian saw that the peony had not opened, and in a great anger, a fire burned the peony to ashes. And uprooted the peony from other places, exiled it to Chang 'an, and threw it into Mangshan Mountain in Luoyang. Mangshan Mountain in Luoyang is criss-crossed, remote and desolate. Wu Zetian threw peony into Mangshan Mountain in Luoyang in order to make it extinct. Who knows that Mangshan peony in Luoyang is growing well, and people have come here to watch peony. Legend in thousands of books: In the Ming Dynasty, there was a scholar in Bozhou, Anhui Province, also known as Ouyang Boyun, who had a well-meaning saying. Originally, he was born into an official family. Due to the gradual decline of his family, he gradually declined and was very poor. However, the scholar is unwilling to be arranged by fate, and even more unwilling to rely on others. He aspired to fame and glory, but he failed every year. A kind-hearted gentleman told him: "The younger generation has a poor foundation and needs to study thousands of books to feel the God of heaven and earth. So he copied books and studied papers all day. But the family is poor and the paper is too expensive, so we have to copy articles on the walls and door panels. One day he got bored in his room and went to play in the backyard. I was surprised to see that the peony flower cluster in the backyard, which had not blossomed for many years, was full of flowers, so I suddenly came into the room on a whim, picked up the autumn pen and inkstone, copied the article on the petals of the imperial peony and changed the paper into flowers. The kind-hearted gentleman passed by and saw this scene, calling this peony "thousands of books". This may have touched the "Flower God". The following year, Ouyang Boyun really won the "Juren". Legend of "Evil Huang Liu": In ancient times, there was an epigenetic named Liu Mingdan Pavilion near Luoyang. He has been fascinated by flowers since he was a child, and he is addicted to growing flowers. Among all kinds of flowers, peony is particularly good. Many flowers and peonies are planted in front of and behind his house. But because he grows flowers well, he is often harassed by urchins. He was very angry. Every time he was caught, he was fined a day's work, and everyone else played several times. So the local urchin nicknamed him "Bad Liu". With the passage of time, the name gradually spread and replaced his name, becoming a "big name". "Speaking of' bad Liu', his ability to grow flowers is really extraordinary. He planted more than 100 peony plants with rich varieties. One year, he planted a Jin Mudan, the color of which surpassed that of "Yao Huang". Neighbors were amazed, and the rich wanted gold and silver. At that time, yellow peony was very rare, and it became fashionable to breed in large numbers and compete for harsh varieties from far and near. Later, people named this flower "Evil Huang Liu", and this name was included in the book and handed down. These Baidu encyclopedias all have: /view/4 144.html? wtp=tt
