Peony has won the reputation of "the king of flowers" and "the beauty of the country" with its elegant and enchanting appearance. Luoyang is also known as the "City of Peony" because of its long history of planting peony. Since Sui and Tang Dynasties, Luoyang has collected more than 200 kinds of peony. Through the skillful cultivation of the gardener, red, yellow, pink, white, purple, green, blue and black peonies compete for beauty, adding color to the ancient capital Luoyang. Seeing Flowers by Sima Guang; In the poem, the prosperity of Luoyang flowers and the scene of people enjoying flowers, flowers and pleasing people are described incisively and vividly:
Luoyang is the most prosperous in spring, with 100 thousand households in red and green shade.
Whoever teaches flowers as splendid will learn to spend as splendid.
Translation:
Spring in Luoyang is the most prosperous time. There are 100,000 different families among the red flowers and green leaves. Some people say, "Flowers are like flowers" (the beauty of flowers is like embroidery embroidered on brocade), but people actually embroider on brocade.
