Extended data:
During the Tang Dynasty, the society was stable and the economy was prosperous. Tang Dou Chang 'an Peony has developed rapidly on the basis of introducing Luoyang Peony. At that time, gardeners had planted peonies.
According to Liu Zongyuan's "Dragon City", Song was a single father who was good at planting peony. Peony has become thousands, and people can't know their skills. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty called Mount Li and planted ten thousand peonies of different colors. At that time, "artists" were limited by society and forced by life, and all their "stunts" were kept secret. Therefore, the single father of Song Dynasty planted peony's "stunt", so that future generations "don't know its skills". However, judging from the "10,000 different color peony samples", the cultivation technology of peony has reached a quite high level. ? [
In the Tang Dynasty, it was very common to plant peony in temples, rich families and folk. According to Du Yang Miscellanies, "the ministers of the Gaozong Banquet rewarded the double-headed peony". "Youyang Miscellaneous Notes" contains: "Mu Zong planted Chiba peony in front of the Imperial Palace, and the flowers bloomed and smelled fragrant."
"Drama Talk Record" contains: "There are two clusters of flowers in the bathing place of Ji 'en Temple, each with 500 or 600 flowers, which are more fragrant and rarely comparable". At that time, the reason for stimulating the development of peony planting industry was not only that peony was loved by many people and had certain ornamental value, but also had high economic value. "Tang Shi Supplement" contains: "Those who compete for profits are worth tens of thousands." Under the large-scale cultivation in the Tang Dynasty, many varieties were cultivated, which improved the petal degree of peony and increased the pattern and color. ?
From the point of view of cultivation, the experiment of peony fumigation has been tried in the Tang Dynasty. "Shi Jiyuan" records that "Wuhou visited the backyard, and all flowers were in bloom, and the peony came late, so it returned to Luoyang". Although this is a legend, it can be analyzed that the reason why "peony is alone late" is that people at that time did not really grasp its growth law, which led to the failure of smoking flowers, so that they could not be put together with other flowers. ?
Luoyang, as the Tokyo of Tang Dynasty, witnessed the continuous development of peony planting industry from the early Tang Dynasty to the late Tang Dynasty of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and its scale was no less than that of Xijing Chang 'an. According to the Qing Yi in the Song Dynasty, "After the Tang Dynasty, Zhuang Zong built Fang Lin Temple in Luoyang, and more than a thousand peony plants were planted in front of the temple, including Baixiangxian, Yuegong Flower, Xiaohuangjiao, Mrs. Xue, Fennuxiang, Penglai Xianggong, Egg Heart Yellow, Royal Clothes Red, Zi Long Cup and Three Branches".
