Were there any roses in the Tang Dynasty?

Regarding the origin of the name of rose, Shuowen has the following words: "Rose, the beauty of stone, the pearl of rose"; There is also a saying in Sima Xiangru's Zi Xufu that "the stone is a red rose, a jade rose and a rose rose". Even after the rose became the name of the flower, China people did not have such a gentle explanation as westerners. Because there are sharp hedgehogs on the stems of roses, people in China regard them as "aristocrats" and call them "assassins". This "nobleness" of appreciation is very in line with the nature of roses. Mr. Chen Junyu, the only flower academician in China, said that roses are not delicate, but the requirements for growth conditions are very low, and they are barren, cold-resistant and drought-resistant. Many gardens even use climbing roses as flower fences directly, which is quite extensive in management. Roses are also good plants to protect soil and preserve water and soil. In addition, because of its fragrance and lingering fragrance, roses are also called "falling flowers"; Old Mu Yi withered with each new branch. If the new branch is moved, both will flourish, so it is also called "Li Nian Cao". Whether in The Assassin or Leaving Mother, Rose shows a peerless elegance hidden in tenacity, and is by no means a sad lady whose youth is perishable.

Pingyin rose has a long history of cultivation. According to historical records, it began in the Han Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,000 years. In the Tang Dynasty, sachets and sachets were made, and in the Ming Dynasty, flowers were used to make sauce, wine and tea. By the end of Qing dynasty, large-scale production had been formed. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the Continued Revision of Pingyin County Records contained: Zhi Zhu Ci said: "A thousand branches are born in a gap, just like red beans send acacia. Roses smell like the sea, just as the wine is ripe. " In the early years of the Republic of China, Pingyin County Records recorded: "In the flower picking season in the 23rd year of Guangxu (1907), merchants from Beijing, Tianjin, Xu and Hebei gathered in Pingyin to buy flowers, with an annual income of 300,000 Jin, worth 5,200 yuan." Pingyin rose was in its heyday during this period. Later, due to the war, pingyin rose was greatly reduced. By 1949, the annual output of roses was only 15000 kg. In recent years, the scale of rose planting in Pingyin County has been expanding. 1994 The rose planting area in the county is only 1000 mu, which has increased rapidly since 2000. By 2005, the rose planting area in the county reached 35,000 mu, covering 1 1 towns. Due to the continuous promotion of scientific management technology and high-yield varieties, the rose yield in Pingyin County has also increased significantly, with the yield per mu increasing from 100 kg in the past to 400 kg at present, with the highest yield exceeding 500 kg.
