April is the world of flowers. Colorful flowers compete with each other and bake the vitality of spring. April is also the season of peony blooming in China. As soon as you enter the Peony Garden, the refreshing fragrance of flowers will come to your nose. In the flower beds with green leaves, all kinds of flowers are delicate and full, with overlapping petals and bright red', just like a fire; There are white ones, like white jade plates; There are green ones, like glittering jade; There are pink ones or colorful ones; There are purple ones, just like black Baoyu, which show the elegance and hearty of their own "Kao".
The breeze blew, and the peony on the slender stem swayed like a dancing girl, attracting many bees and butterflies to linger. Walking on the endless winding path, there is a stream looming or looming, and the clear stream is like a fairy peony's smart eyes shining with beautiful and enthusiastic light. It suddenly occurred to me that peony is spiritual, red is exciting, purple is quiet, yellow is hearty, white is pure and frank, green is imaginative, pink is elegant and gorgeous, and colorful peony does not give the world the wonderful life.
In the middle of the Peony Garden is a cultural square, and in the center stands the peony garden theme sculpture "Peony Soul". The reason why it is called the soul is probably the meaning of "flowers rise and fall with the national luck, and people share joys and sorrows with flowers"! Peony Soul Square is magnificent. Nine cultural columns with a diameter of one meter and a height of nine meters are carved with major historical events, historical figures and customs of Heze respectively, forming the cultural colonnade of the square. This is the most concentrated and lively place for tourists. Everyone stood around to enjoy martial arts and traditional Chinese opera performances that highlighted local characteristics, or sat on the stone steps to have a rest, or bargained with vendors selling small commodities. Several trendy old ladies couldn't restrain their excitement and walked on the model steps in the square, causing cheers.
Another culture of the Peony Garden is the National Flower Pavilion, which is definitely the largest in the world. Its center of gravity is the peony culture exhibition hall, with large peony patterns inserted at the entrance and east and west sides of the hall. There is a bronze peony tripod in the center of the hall, and bronze sculptures of twelve flower gods are arranged on both sides; There is a peony history museum in the east and a peony cultural center in the west; On the second floor is the Peony Boutique Atlas; On the third floor is the Peony Culture and Art Museum. When browsing the halls one by one, I can't help but be moved by the love of peony in this economically underdeveloped southwest city of Shandong. I think, if this scene is seen by Luoyang people who are famous for Peony City, what would you think?
In the viewing area of Purple Peony and Bai Mudan in the park, there are two statues of Huaxian, dressed in morning glow and red. It is said that they are two beautiful girls described by Pu Songling in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, Jin Ge and Yujin. Here, tourists can not only enjoy these two precious peony flowers, but also see the gorgeous appearance of fairy peony. "Gorgeous palace makeup" and "slim waist" remind me of that fairy tale: Luoyang literati often use Cao Zhou (Heze) to find precious peony, and when they meet a beautiful girl in the garden, they are fleeting and often fall in love with it, and lovesickness becomes a disease. One day Chang Dayong met the girl again and knelt on the ground to propose marriage. The woman was moved by his sincerity and returned to Luoyang with Chang Dayong.
He also introduced his sister Yupan to Chang Dayong's younger brother Chang Daqi as his wife, and they each had a son. Although the two couples have been together for a long time, the sisters never reveal their life experiences, only that their mother is Mrs. Cao, and they are often suspicious. They found an excuse to come to the Netherlands to find out, only to know that Mrs. Cao was originally a peony and a towel. Dayong was very surprised. Back in Luoyang, the cat was leaked. After Dayong came home, the relationship between husband and wife broke down. Jin Ge and Yu Jin left home angrily and threw the two boys on the ground. The following year, two peonies, one purple and one white, were born in the same place, namely, two kinds of peonies, Gezi and Yubai. Before you know it, you have the illusion that two high-spirited people in Hua Xian are together with the flower viewing crowd.
I like peonies not only because they are elegant and beautiful, but more importantly, for thousands of years, China people have always regarded them as a symbol of wealth, good luck, prosperity and happiness. When I left, I bought a pot of safflower peony from the local flower farmer, so that the fragrance of flowers could escort my way forward!
