The peony flowers in the yard are gorgeous, but the style is not high; The lotus on the surface of the pool is bright and clean, but it lacks enthusiasm. Only the peony flower is the real national color and the most beautiful flower. When the flowers bloom, their grand occasion sensationalized the whole capital.
Appreciating Peony is a poem written by Liu Yuxi, a writer in the Tang Dynasty. This poem depicts the custom of viewing peony in Tang Dynasty. Peony is a famous flower in China. It blooms in late spring. It is big and beautiful.
In the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong and Wuhou transplanted peony from Fenjin to Beijing, and Xuanzong regarded it as a treasure. Through anthropomorphic comparison and suppression of others, the whole poem affirms the status of peony as the "real national color" in the flower world, truly shows the sensational effect of peony in Beijing in that year, and contains the ideal personality spirit in the poet's heart.
