Reading Luoyang? Talking about Peony

In the ancient city of Luoyang, peonies are a wonder and everyone loves them. I have worked and lived in your hometown for 30 years, and I feel deeply attached to my hometown. It has been infected for many years and lingers in my heart. All flowers especially love peonies. In recent years, I have been living overseas, thousands of miles away, and I still miss my hometown. Because I like gardening, I sent peonies to express my feelings. Rarely found in foreign countries, it is difficult to collect them at first, so I do not hesitate to use my money, ask for them widely, and select the best products, so that I can get what I want. The courtyard is deep and quiet, and they have been planted year by year. Up to now, there are more than forty plants of different sizes and eight or nine varieties. The flower colors are just like Luoyang red, tobacco purple, luminous white, Zhao pink, Erqiao, Yao yellow and bean green, although they are not as good as them. They are not even close to each other, which is very gratifying. Carefully cultivated, the roots are luxuriant, and the garden becomes a garden in front of the garden. Due to the different seasons, late spring and May bring out the beauty late. When in full bloom, the face is scorching, as big as a plate, as red as a crane's crown, as white as a heron's feathers, as white as snow, as pink as a velvet blanket, and as purple as a crystal agate, gorgeous and fragrant, graceful in manner, rich and auspicious, worthy of being called the "King of Flowers" ! Exotic flowers bloom, seeing things and thinking about the scenery, like a dream in Los Angeles, carrying nostalgia, love is eternal! ?

Who doesn’t love peonies? They occupy all the good things in the city. Suspected to be the work of a goddess from Luochuan, it is so charming that it breaks the morning glow. In late spring, all the fragrant flowers wither and the peonies bloom alone, enjoying the spring beauty and occupying the scenery of all things. You said that as a Luoyang native, you don’t love peonies, you don’t write about peonies, you don’t plant peonies, you don’t know some poems and songs about peonies, you don’t know some historical origins and allusions of peonies, and you don’t know a little bit about peony flowers, colors, varieties and personalities, you seem to be sorry. The title of "Luoyang native" is the same. Therefore, it is not enough to only know the beauty of peony, love her pleasing to the eye, feel relaxed and happy, or be intoxicated by her unique fragrance. Especially when I went abroad and had suitable planting conditions and mood, my love became stronger and stronger, so I thought about planting some flowers from my hometown to express my feelings. Fortunately, I followed my wish and planted them in a small yard. , sowing joy, sowing fun, sowing feelings, and also sowing the pride of Luoyang people in the praise of friends.

So the short article showing off at the beginning was written after the United States spent most of the epidemic last year at home playing with their peonies. I have carefully taken care of dozens of peonies that I have planted in the courtyard over the past few years. The peonies are in full bloom at the end of April and early May, and I feel a lot of joy. Let me sum up a few points: First, there are few peonies planted in the United States, and peonies are mostly found in some gardens. After living in New York and New Jersey for several years, I only found seven or eight white and pink peonies blooming on the campus of Princeton University, and the rest have not yet bloomed. bump into. There are no peonies in New York's Central Park. Maybe there are peonies in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, which has the most complete flowers. Of course, it's just a guess. It reminds me to pay attention to the doubts in my mind when I have the opportunity to visit. It is said that there are many local peony varieties in Europe, America and Japan, but according to my observation, they are rarely grown in the eastern United States, and further understanding is needed. The English word peony refers to peony and peony. Are the two not separate? Peony is a very common species. According to records, Japanese peonies were also introduced from China during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty in the 8th century AD. Europe and the United States only began to be transported by sea in the 17th century. After years of derivative cultivation, the varieties will be slightly different, but in the final analysis, the source of authentic peonies comes from China. There is no doubt about it. Second, flower shops in Chinatown, Flushing and other Chinese areas in New York sell peonies every spring, but the only varieties are Luoyang red and two-color peonies. I went to several flower shops the year before last and bought a few pots of green peonies. I planted them for two years and no flowers bloomed. This year there are buds. I am waiting to verify whether it is as the store said. Because the price of green peonies is more expensive, will this happen? I don't know if there is something fishy about it. The third is to go to a nearby farm florist or Home Depot store. There are only peonies, not woody peonies. There is an ordinary peony that is similar to the purse peony and seems to have genetically modified flowers. It has small blooms. It is not a woody plant and is still classified as peony. . It seems that only the Chinese circle has introduced peonies from China (or maybe Japan) and cultivated peonies in a small area in a knowledgeable area. I feel that there are not many "nymphomaniacs" like me. I have several peonies that are more than ten years old and I got them from a Taiwanese friend’s house at a high price. It is only through this persistence and understanding of their cultural heritage that I know they are dignified, beautiful, and the flowers are large and colorful. , noble and elegant people have a special liking to plant it.

So the situation of peonies in the United States can be summed up in one sentence: Hidden in the boudoir, no one knows, like a dream, the prosperity is unknown. At the same time, it also shows that the promotion of peony in the United States still has a long way to go. Alone in youth, spring shines, and fame spreads, but it is quiet. At this moment, the Luoyang Peony Festival is in full swing. It is hard to find the fragrance here, and I do feel a little regretful and unfair in my heart.

If you have the opportunity to visit a real foreigner's home or go to an outdoor park, you will find that there are very few plants. Do you feel that in a foreign country, there are no peonies that dominate the crowd, but they bloom quietly or are not known? Such peonies must be lonely, right? ! Unlike in our country, you can easily see the graceful grace of peonies when you basically go into the homes of ordinary people. In addition, when I go to flower shops or flower farms, it is very rare to see bonsai art similar to that in China. I chuckle to myself, are Americans too busy to have this leisurely elegance? Definitely not, maybe it’s because of the difference in cultural background. Logically speaking, the United States, which I call a "beautiful country" for short, is also a very tolerant country in the world. It should not reject beautiful things. Even if the peony is China's national flower, there should be no cultural differences or a sense of invasion. Accept it, appreciate it, and recognize it for its unique beauty. Just like Japanese cherry blossoms are loved by many Americans and are widely cultivated and cultivated, shouldn't peonies go international and enter the hearts and lives of foreigners, becoming more brilliant and respected? Peonies cannot be limited to Chinese circles for exchange, appreciation and promotion. Its graceful and luxurious beauty can indeed conquer the world. Because I have planted it myself and have personal experience, I think as Chinese, we must have such a desire and confidence!

It is common to see strange flowers in Luoyang. The peach and plum blossoms have not yet bloomed. Only when peonies are in full bloom can the city be filled with endless joy. Thousand-year-old ancient capital, the city of peonies. Thinking about April now, the spring in my hometown of Luoyang belongs entirely to peonies. As the poem says, the wind is gentle and gentle, thousands of peonies are blooming in the streets and gardens, and clusters of flowers are filled with fragrant clouds. One flower fills a whole city with its fragrance, while other flowers seem to be shy and are not regarded as real flowers. Much praise. But with flowers as the matchmaker, the scene is full of peony topics, peony elements and peony-like smiles everywhere. This scene is real. Years ago, my impression was that you could see blooming peonies in the streets and alleys. There were as many fresh-cut flowers in flower shops as there were roses on Valentine's Day. I remember when I was young, it was free to go to Wangcheng Park and the Botanical Garden with my father to see peonies, or to ride a bike to climb Longmen Mountain to see the Longmen Grottoes. You could also stand freely among the peonies that were taller than me and take photos. I felt that photography at that time was The souvenir check-in points are in front of the white marble statue of the "Peony Fairy" with fairy spirit, grace and grace, and a beautiful and peaceful face in Wangcheng Park and next to the huge stone inscribed by Mr. Zhao Puchu "Luoyang Peony is the Best in the World" in the Botanical Garden (earlier renamed Xiyuan Park) , so many years are still fresh in my memory. It is said that there are many peony gardens with different characteristics in and outside the city for viewing. More farmers in the surrounding counties have developed peonies as an industry. They are exquisite and beautiful, numerous and wide, rich and abundant, large and powerful. , the fastest development in the past few decades is really Peony Tsundere, and Luoyang is brilliant!

The cultivation of peony in China began in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, developed in the Sui Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, became the most popular in the Song Dynasty, and was inherited in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Today, the flowers and trees have been transplanted all over the world, and their prosperity is widely known and famous all over the world. Li Gefei, the father of the poetess Li Qingzhao, said in "Luoyang Famous Gardens": "The chaos in the world depends on the rise and fall of Luoyang; the rise and fall of Luoyang depends on the rise and fall of gardens." Peony has become a mirror of the rise and fall of world affairs. There is a saying: peonies bloom more abundantly in spring, and they are fragrant and welcome visitors. Now Luoyang has held the 39th Peony Fair. Thinking about the sea of ??flowers and crowds, the vitality and beauty of the ancient capital are no longer what they used to be. The country is prosperous and peonies are in full bloom. The rich colors of peonies and historical allusions of an ancient city seem to bring us into the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and its prosperity has reappeared. But it seems that such verbal praise still seems pale. After all, our modern life is different from that of a thousand years ago. Like a dream, time goes by, and the shock and beauty in front of you now should be more in line with the meaning of the peony flower, which is wealth, auspiciousness, prosperity, and prosperity! If you don’t believe it, don’t hesitate, pack your bags and go to Luoyang City to have a look. Seeing is believing, see thousands of flowers, see the colorful flowers, see the blooming flowers, see the vicissitudes of life, see the dazzling scenery, see the elegance and poetry of the ancient capital! I think it must be that the heart is full of joy, the harvest is full, and I admire in my heart that Luoyang City is well-deserved.

Inherit the past and connect the future, and think about the future. Every time I read or think of countless poems and articles praising peony, and consider the pictures and videos posted by many people in my circle of friends, I feel beautiful and longing for it.

From Liu Yuxi in the Tang Dynasty, "Only peonies are the true national beauty, and they move the capital when they bloom" to Ouyang Xiu in the Song Dynasty, "Luoyang is the most suitable flower, and peonies are especially rare in the world"; It is called "The King of Flowers" and boasts that it is unparalleled in the world and has the best fragrance in the world." The Yuan Dynasty poet Zhang Hongfan wrote "It contains the beauty of the country and the fragrance of heaven, making the wandering bees feel at ease until the flowers have fallen away, and then praises Wei Zi**. *Yao Huang"; from Li Zhengfeng's "Peony Poems" in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, "The country is full of wine, the sky is fragrant and the clothes are dyed at night. The light clouds lightly dye the tender silver pot"; from Wang Wei's "Red Peony", "The green color is leisurely and quiet, the red clothes are light and deep, and the heart of the flower is about to break, but the spring scenery does not know the heart" to Luo Yin's "Peony Flower", "If you teach me to explain. The words should captivate the country, no matter how ruthless they are, they are touching. Peony and the king are close servants, and hibiscus can hide from the fragrance." From Li Bai's eternal masterpiece "Qing Ping Tiao", "The clouds think of clothes and flowers think of face, and the spring breeze blows on the threshold and the dew is rich" to the Ming Dynasty. The poet Li Zhi's "Recalling the past when I saw flowers in Chang'an, peonies were uniquely intoxicating and beautiful"; from Yin Wengui's poem "Elegantly called the first crown among flowers, occupying the broken spring light every year" to Yuan Mei's "Moss" in the Qing Dynasty "The day is not everywhere, "Youth comes naturally. Moss flowers are as small as rice, and they also bloom like peonies."... How many literati and poets from past dynasties have spoken for peonies, and their poems and poems have lasted for thousands of years. Such a good theme is still popular today. People should not be left behind. I think it should be the true nature of Luoyang people to cheer for the peony and build momentum. Besides, I am a stranger in a foreign land. It seems to be a conscious responsibility to promote Luoyang to friends. This feeling of family and country is a must.

Who can't sing the "Peony Song" that was spread all over the country? This is the theme song of the movie "Red Peony". The lyricist, Mr. Qiao Yu, and the original singer, Jiang Dawei, are a perfect match. "Ah peony, you are the most colorful among the flowers, the most spectacular in the land of fragrances. Some people say you are charming, but how can your charming life be so full. Some people say you are rich, but who knows that you have experienced poverty! When the earth is frozen, you are Breeding with vitality. When the spring breeze blows, you bring beauty to the world! ..." This lyric expresses the personality, taste and spiritual connotation of peony most vividly. Because of peony's natural beauty, nobility and elegance, people have always described her as a woman's beauty since ancient times. Even Li Bai, who was not good at flattery, wrote "Famous flowers overwhelm the country and make the king smile." He compared the graceful and luxurious peony to the beautiful Yang Guifei, who is gorgeous and charming. One glance at the beautiful city and a glimpse of the grandeur. Contemporary people Will you think of Yang Yuhuan when you see peonies in bloom? Mr. Bai Juyi couldn't help but lament: "Only Xizi is the most beautiful, but peony is the most fragrant." As the first of all flowers, it is fragrant, romantic and gorgeous, and its true national beauty is irreplaceable. These beauties have always been synonymous with it. "The Peony Pavilion" is Tang Xianzu's representative work. It has caused a lot of misunderstandings because of one poem: "Ask you what you want, ask you what you want. If you die under the peony flowers, you can be a ghost! You have nothing to do." Desire, you have nothing to ask for, don't let the lonely girl enter the account to relieve thousands of sorrows." This touching masterpiece of romanticism in the history of Chinese opera has become the target of criticism by Taoists. Because the beauty of peonies is used to describe women, it is used to express a man's love for women, and even his uninhibited feelings. The living can die, and the dead can live. The unparalleled peony has reached its peak. Is it wrong to say that peonies are wrong? No. Peonies are charming, enchanting, delicate, beautiful, charming and unique, this is one of them. Just like "The Song of Peony", her integrity and pride are actually more worthy of special mention.

When it comes to peonies, people in Luoyang will probably tell such a legendary story: After Wu Zetian ascended the throne, in order to show her majesty, she wrote a poem "La Ri Xuan Zhao Xing Shangyuan" "Ming Dynasty Tour Shangyuan" , hurry to announce the spring. The flowers bloom all night long, don’t wait for the morning breeze to blow.” On the second day, Wu Zetian went to Shangyuan to play. Sure enough, the spring breeze was full, and all kinds of flowers did not dare to resist and bloomed one after another. Among the hundreds of flowers, only the peonies were delayed. . When Wu Zetian saw this, he demoted Peony out of Shangyuan and sent it to Luoyang City. Another legend is that Wu Zetian was angry and cut down the peony trees, burned them and abandoned them in the barren mountains. The remaining peony branches that were ravaged and destroyed by all means were not destined to die. When they encountered the suitable soil for growth in Mang Mountain in the northern suburbs of Luoyang, they sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain. Nowadays, everyone sees that the strong and strong branches of peony branches are known as "scorched bones".

Legends are legends, but the character of peony that does not compete with others and does not follow the vulgarity is true. Its character is not only unparalleled and beautiful, but also lies in its fearlessness of powerful people, its lack of sensationalism, and its courage to refuse. This spirit It is admirable and admirable, and it is also a symbol of national integrity. Many people often only remember the plum blossoms, proud of the snow and thousands of frosts, and strong and strong. After we truly understand the character of peony, it can grow and live for hundreds of years. You must think that she is not a weak body, but also the beauty behind the beauty. He is strong and has the perseverance to withstand the wind and rain. While admiring, it also reminds us that we should be like peonies. If we want to do something, we should be the best. If we want to be beautiful, be beautiful to the extreme. Live with posture and beauty. We should also maintain our own character and personality, face the reality without hesitation, and never give up. Kitsch, uncompromising, strong-willed, arrogant, and determined, can have deep roots and flourish, be gorgeous in the world, and be as outstanding as the "scorched bone" peony!

After praising Peony’s beauty and pride, let’s talk about her practical value as she is full of treasures, and I don’t know how to praise her with all my heart! The root bark of peony is called Danpi, which is a valuable medicinal material. It has the effect of clearing away heat, cooling blood and dispersing blood stasis, which is recorded in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica". In modern terms, peony can be used as medicine to treat high blood pressure, remove fire, clear away heat and blood stasis, remove carbuncles and reduce swelling, etc. And her petals are edible, not only delicious and fragrant, but also have the effects of nourishing the blood, liver, and beautifying the skin. Carefully made peony tea, especially the natural peony tea from the mountains, can relieve pain, relieve coughs, clear the heart and moisturize the lungs, stop diarrhea, and promote blood circulation. Regular drinking can make you have abundant qi and blood, a rosy face, and a full spirit. Of course, the petals can also be used as food, beverages, dried flowers, refined essences, and pollen refined as supplements for consumption. There are also many varieties of woody oil crops. Nearly half of the peony seed oil is linoleic acid. It has obvious effects on reducing cholesterol levels in human blood and preventing high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease... Amazing or surprising? ? There are no legends, only miracles! This flower should only exist in the sky, how can it be our neighbor in the world! A creation of nature, everything about peony is a sacrifice. How lucky we humans are to receive such love, and what a blessing it is for us as individual owners! As I write this, worshiping the "Flower God", I suddenly become stingy. "If a breeze blows overnight, I can't buy it with a lot of gold." This year, the peonies in the courtyard will never be blown down by the wind again. I will pinch them at the right time. Cut it and dry it carefully to keep it fresh and store it. You can often make a cup of fragrant peony tea to present it to your daughter, your lover or even invite your friends to recommend it. How comfortable it would be!

Writing peonies is actually a learning process. After checking some information and looking through many beautiful photos, I realized that there are many varieties of peonies in Luoyang with rich colors, including red, white, pink, yellow, purple, blue, green, black and complex colors. There are 1,340 varieties in the large color series, as well as single-petal type, lotus type, chrysanthemum type, rose type, cinnamon type, hydrangea type, crown type, golden ring type, thousand-story pavilion type, and building pavilion type. Ten types of flowers.

How many of these colorful colors and flower patterns can we recognize? The more I understand, the more knowledgeable I feel. Peonies not only have different colors, huge flowers, and petals of varying thicknesses, but they are also colorful, with thousands of postures, and they are so stunning! She can be red like fire, yellow like gold, pink like clouds, white like snow, green like emerald, black like ink, purple like ice crystals, etc. There are also some rare varieties of peonies, like green ones. The peonies are "Green Calyx" and "Bean Green"; the most vivid national flag red peony is "Fire Refining Golden Pill", the pink peony with blue color is "Lantian Jade"; the black peony is "Guanshi Moyu", "Black Sea Gold" and " "Ink Tower Zhenghui" and "Green Dragon Lying in the Ink Pond"; among the white peonies, there are "Danfengbai", "Jingyu", "Fragrant Jade", "Green Mountains Through Snow", "Ice-covered Blue Jade", "Venus Snow Waves" and "White Crane Lying in the Snow". ; Pink "Peach Blossoms", "Silver Pink Gold Scales", "Yu Ji Yanzhuang", "Neon Brilliance", "Silver and Red Couple", "Yingluo Pearl", "Linghua Zhanlu", "Palace-like Makeup", "Meat Hibiscus" and " "Crown in Pink"; there are also the "Wei Zi", which is deep purple and black, with the most petals, the light purple "Drunken Concubine"; and the "Er Qiao" and "Qunying" with two or several different colors on one flower. "Ou Sikui", "Coral Terrace", "Nephrite Warm Fragrance", "Wandie Cloud Peak", "Royal Concubine Plucking Green"; various red "Feiyan Hongzhuang", "Jialan Cinnabar", "Spring Red Delicate" and "Sand Barrier Colored Painting" ", what more are Luoyang red, Shouchan red, Zhuangyuan red, Zhongsheng red, carmine red, Junyan red, Hu red, Yinghong, wrinkled leaf red, Tibetan red, Luhe red, curled leaf red... . ..... Are there so many varieties that make you dizzy and dazzled? Are there so many novel and beautiful names that make your imagination run wild and intoxicated? I'm still thinking, are there so many dazzling lipsticks for women in boutiques that can't cover the variety of peony reds, and I wonder how much inferior they are in comparison? .............

Zhou Dunyi said in "The Theory of Love of Lotus" that "Since the Li and Tang Dynasties, people have loved peonies very much". Yes, since Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, the magnificent peony has become the favorite of the Tang people and is the well-deserved "national flower" of the Tang Dynasty. Peonies have a history of more than 1,500 years of artificial cultivation. It can be said that Luoyang is the earliest cultivation place and is also the cultivation and dissemination center of peonies in China and even the world. Of course, Shandong Heze peony, Gansu purple peony, Chongqing Dianjiang peony, and other peonies, including the comparable peony sister flower Peony from Jiangsu Yangzhou, are also famous, each with its own merits, and all are exported abroad in appropriate quantities. For example, Heze peony has a large scale and ranks first as a base for medicinal materials and commercial crops; the landscape peony in Dianjiang, Chongqing has a natural wildness and is popular with people; Gansu purple-spotted peony is cold-resistant and frost-resistant, has a rich floral fragrance, and has strong growth potential, making it a particularly good economic product. crop. Although Chinese peonies have long been highly horticulturalized flowers, after traveling eastward to Japan and westward to Europe and the United States at different times, they have successively developed into different species groups due to the influence of different cultural traditions and productivity levels. They were bred from seedlings in Japan. , the European variety group is a direct result of the introduction and domestication of Chinese peonies. However, Japan’s peony is second only to China in many aspects such as its development history, scale and social influence and is unique. Just like China’s traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese tea culture, Chinese Kung Fu, Chinese characters, etc., they can always be learned and absorbed by Japan. Innovate through the old and become a self-contained entity. The same goes for peonies. Commercial cultivation in Japan has developed rapidly and is actually the main source of goods for the European and American markets. This cannot but be said to give us a reflection and alertness. When I searched for information, I inquired about the time when peonies were imported into the United States. There is no accurate record. It is estimated that it was around 1820, but it was definitely introduced from the United Kingdom and not directly from China. The context should be that in the 19th century, the United States imported peonies mainly from Britain and France, followed by Japan and a small amount from China, but the overall development was slow. This should also be determined by China's special background. Even in the 20th century, peony was still a relatively unfamiliar flower in the United States, and its cultivation was far less common than in Europe. However, in recent years, affected by the cultivation boom in Europe and the commercialization of Japanese peonies, the United States began to introduce peonies from Japan, Europe, and China. , now you can suddenly understand why peonies are rarely planted in the United States for seven or eight years.

I was about to finish writing this article, and suddenly it gave me some inspiration. As a Luoyang native, I am a loyal fan and supporter of peonies. Now that I have come to the United States, why can’t I become a “peony promotion ambassador” in a foreign country? Why can’t I dream of becoming a “peony planting king”? Things are rare and valuable, and business opportunities are endless. But my IQ, abilities and conditions, and even entrepreneurial spirit are all beyond my imagination, but this passion is clear to me.

I thought of two sentences by Jack Ma: "Let there be no difficult business in the world" and "People have to have dreams, what if they come true!" I laughed to myself. Regardless of whether it can be done or not, it is courage to dare to think. Even if I provide an idea or information that can stimulate the interest of people who are destined to do so, and let peonies go to the world more widely, it is not a good thing to hope for the success of others. At least it will add color to Luoyang and Chinese peonies. Accumulate strength and precipitate culture.

So when I am about to finish writing, I can just use my imagination to "get some practical information", close my eyes and let my imagination run wild. So first of all, I would ask myself: Isn’t it the core problems of operating peony seedlings, such as long transportation time, high cost, difficulty in survival, strict customs and quarantine, and cumbersome qualification review? If it is feasible, why not establish a Chinese or Luoyang peony base in the United States? Put aside your arrogance and prejudice, why can't New York and Luoyang become sister cities? Then we can plan a small "Chinese Peony Garden" in the world-famous Central Park. I believe that when the flowers bloom in spring, wealth can conquer the world. People coming and going. If it is feasible, can the Chinese embassy or consulate be used to exhibit and promote Chinese peonies at the United Nations Headquarters in New York when the peonies are in full bloom? Promotional activities are necessary and anything is possible. For another example, if you contact some well-known schools, museums, churches, relevant parks, world giant institutions, etc., you can also plant a few peonies and mark the place of origin. Isn't this the most direct form of publicity? If it is feasible, could the millions of Chinese in the United States recruit some willing people to form a peony association to slowly expand their influence like a "spark can start a prairie fire", or they could build some small peony gardens using local materials to attract flower lovers. The enthusiasm of participants has allowed peonies to enter thousands of households in the United States! If it is feasible, can we produce a series of products such as peony cut flowers, peony beauty tea, traditional peony embroidery, food peony cakes, ink and blue peony paintings, peony paper-cuts, wood carvings and paintings, etc.? If it is possible, I will be willing to lobby and talk about the benefits of peonies, break through the barriers and deadlocks between countries, integrate and connect multiple cultures, use flowers as matchmakers, promote economic and trade cooperation, and also strive to win the approval of relevant national departments. With the support of the local government, we have forward-looking and courageous efforts to develop the domestic market as well as the international market. It has become popular and has made peony a true "world flower". I believe that her aesthetics are not afraid of controversy and challenges. Treasures, famous products, exotic products, unique products, and unique products among peonies can conquer the world, dazzle the world, and give back to the world... ..I actually laughed this time! Because if I continue to think about it, I feel like I am worrying about the Secretary-General of the United Nations... But I am very happy that I am thinking about such a meaningful thing aimlessly.

This year's Dongfeng is cleverly tailored, and the sentiment is just waiting for the envoy to come. I am proud to love peonies, admire peonies in admiration, look forward to raising peonies, and dream of managing peonies. Thinking about creating peonies, enthusiastically giving peonies as gifts... Her charm, nobility, elegance, grandeur, purity, variety, beauty, enthusiasm and practicality... over and over again Thinking of her shocking beauty and fragrant smile. Peonies bloom in spring, sprouting buds in the wind. The fragrance of heaven has come, and it has come to my house today. The peonies in my yard are graceful and graceful. If they dance gracefully and the buds on the branches smile, they are still elegant and subtle. In a few days, the flowering season in Luoyang may be coming to an end, but here we can look forward to a splendid and unique show. Peonies are blooming, full of vitality, and imply good luck. How can such a day not be the most beautiful and happy day at home? If the epidemic in New York allows, I can let the children invite their classmates to enjoy the peonies at home, knowing that this is the most famous flower in the world, and that it is even more beautiful in China! And he would say to the three children in a long and sincere way: "Our family is connected with peonies. You should also know where the roots are. Remember the hometown of Heluo and the hometown of peonies. Love peonies more and use your talents more when you grow up." Go and promote peonies and do something useful!”… I can’t express my feelings with all my heart. I wish the children will always understand and continue to love peonies, and be filled with joy, contentment, and gratitude. , work hard to make beautiful flowers bloom more brilliantly in foreign countries!

Except for the first two pictures above, which are from the Internet, the rest were taken by personal mobile phones of peonies at home as a souvenir.
