1. The flower in Changde is hibiscus.
2. Hibiscus (also known as hibiscus mutabilis) is loved by everyone because it is extremely beautiful, changing three times a day, pink in the morning, light red in the day and deep red at night, and its delicate posture often makes people linger; Second, its unique "frost resistance" characteristics. This flower blooms from September to November in the lunar calendar, when all the flowers wither, but it blooms in Ao Shuang. Therefore, Bai Juyi said in his poem, "Don't be afraid that there will be no sorrow in autumn, and water lilies will bloom." Su Dongpo praised the character of hibiscus as "frost-resistant, like the most suitable frost"; Third, hibiscus mutabilis is full of treasures, and its leaves and flowers can be used as medicine. Li Shizhen said that using hibiscus flowers to treat "carbuncle, swelling and sore" is wonderful.
3. Changde people love hibiscus flowers, which are widely planted and have a long history.
4. Qu Yuan exiled Changde. Seeing this beautiful scenery, he once wrote in "Nine Songs": "Pick Ficus pumila, hibiscus and chop wood in the water." As one of the most impressive "products" in Changde, Chen Hongmo's Records of Jiajing Changde in the Ming Dynasty recorded: "Mufurong, frost-resistant, named in September, red and white, single petal and double petals, drunk hibiscus." Although the hibiscus flower has a long history in Changde, it is rarely planted now, and I don't know that this kind of flower belongs to Changde. Thanks to Mr. Hu Qiaomu's textual research, I solved the knot that Changde is the authentic origin of hibiscus flowers.
