From the Ming Dynasty, Taoism had the saying of "the god of flowers", but at that time, people were not used to represent flower names. By the mid-Qing Dynasty, Yangliuqing New Year pictures began to appear "Flower God" group paintings, and the names of flower gods were determined by legends and historical figures in Tang and Song Dynasties, representing the flower gods of each month.
