Legend has it that the fairy peony in the fairy palace in the sky came to the world and finally stayed at Cuiyunfeng in Luoyang, painting 100 peony varieties. The hundredth peony variety that came from behind was "Zigen Peony" in Luoyang. Because on August 15, fairy peonies came down to earth and painted peonies and planted peonies in Luoyang. Therefore, Luoyang people set August 15 as the birthday of peony.
There is a legend in the peony historical and cultural block that there is a gardener named Qiu Weng who likes to grow peony flowers very much. I work hard to cultivate peony in the garden every day and take care of them like my own relatives. Peony has flourished, Wan Li is fragrant and a hundred flowers are blooming. Even passers-by can't help but want to pick one. Qiu Weng hurried forward to stop it. The child next door was naughty and accidentally trampled the peony. Qiu Weng, who loves flowers like life, didn't blame them, but patiently told the children that flowers are alive and it is not easy to raise them. Under Qiu Weng's care, the trampled peony came back to life. Peony planted by autumn Weng is a household name. However, the good times did not last long. The local bully heard that Qiu Weng planted peony with flowers, so he came to grab it. Qiu Weng refused, of course. He protected the flowers with his death. Bullies destroy garden flowers and slander Qiu Weng as a witch. Qiu Weng is very painful and sad. At this time, fairy peony learned that Qiu Weng loved flowers so much, so he went down to earth, rescued Qiu Weng, carved by the root of the bully, and repaired the destroyed garden. Since then, Qiu Weng's peony flowers have blossomed more brightly and bigger than before.
