Bai Juyi has deep feelings for Luoyang peony. He wrote in the poem Peony: "Although there are many beauties, most of them are peonies. The moon is full of osmanthus trees, and the sky is full of orchids ... The poet forgets peony, and the son is ashamed of Mei Tan. ..... I didn't know I was coming to the garden. I won the competition in the forest. Often pour mud, the field is wide. If peaches and plums are combined, it will be even more difficult. " There is also a poem "Peony Square": "Peony Square, Peony Square, Golden Flower and Ruby Room, a thousand pieces of red Xia Ying are rotten, and a hundred branches of crimson lights are bright ..." There are even two long poems praising peony, and Bai Juyi's love for peony is beyond words, and two poems "Cherish Peony Flowers": "There are only two branches of red peony left in front of the melancholy stage. The wind of the Ming Dynasty will blow out, and the night is precious to watch the fire. " "Lonely withered red low rain, high wear broken colourful scattered with the wind. Ingmar's landing is still awkward, let alone falling. " Bai Juyi chose Xiangshan as his last resting place, which is full of his deep affection for peony and his love for the fertile soil for raising peony.
Ouyang Xiu, one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties, when he was an official in Luoyang, found that "Luoyang customs are generally good flowers. In spring, the whole city arranges flowers and bloom competes for tourism. " At this time, both people's homes and officials' hospitals in Luoyang City are full of peonies. Ou Gong was greatly moved, so he visited the people and made a detailed investigation on the history, cultivated varieties and customs of Luoyang peony. This is the first peony monograph in China. There are two lines in his poem "Peony in Luoyang": "The flower in Luoyang is the most suitable, and the peony in the world is especially strange", which also expresses the poet's warm praise for peony.
