Plum blossoms are mostly born in Jiangnan.

In my opinion, China orchids should be regarded as national flowers!

China orchids, also known as national orchids, are the favorite traditional flowers of our people. Graceful leaves, evergreen leaves and noble and delicate flowers. For thousands of years, it has been known as "Xiangzu", "Xiangwang" and "the best fragrance in the world". In our country, no matter who you ask, even people who have never seen Guo Lan will say "orchids are really fragrant", which shows that Guo Lan has long been fragrant in the hearts of people of all ethnic groups in China. For this reason, China orchids are also called national fragrance.

China orchids are not only loved by people because of their delicate fragrance, but also known for their firm will and educational function. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, Confucius, a great thinker, educator and political activist, paid tribute to orchids in the valley and regarded them as "the fragrance of kings" to show his ambition. He realized that spearmint can enlighten people and make them do good, leaving a famous saying for future generations. He said in Family Talk, "Don't be unattractive because there is no one, and don't be weak because of cold. If the gas is long and constant, the heart will never move. " He also said, "Making friends with good people is like entering Lan Zhi's room. You haven't smelled its fragrance for a long time, but you have transformed you with it. " Confucius very accurately integrated the core of China's aesthetic "goodness" into orchids. For thousands of years, the kind Chinese nation has continuously added "goodness" to China orchids, making it a reflection of people's noble thoughts, and at the same time serving the improvement of the excellent moral character of the Chinese nation. This law of mutual correspondence and sublimation between man and orchid has become the basic law of orchid appreciation in China for thousands of years. Qu Yuan, a great patriotic poet in the Warring States period, injected patriotic feelings into orchids and organically transformed the beauty of orchids into love for the motherland. His great patriotic feelings are fully reflected in his poems, such as Nine Songs of National Mourning and Li Sao: "There are nine more flowers, and the trees are full of flowers", and "Magnolia Hall is full of fragrance, which is admirable". Qu Yuan's eulogy of orchids is actually eulogizing the beauty of the motherland, life, personality and ideal. Since then, for thousands of years, in Qin, Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, our people have been constantly watering and nourishing China orchids with the achievements of two civilizations, and even China orchids have become the crystallization of the Chinese nation's love for beauty, truth-seeking and goodness. China orchids can be said to be the crystallization flower of Chinese excellent moral character, the flower of philosophy and the national flower.

Mr. Guo Moruo, the standard-bearer of the modern new culture movement, also wrote in the article "E Suoyin": "Seriously speaking, China orchids should be regarded as national flowers. The variety and elegance of incense are really the best in the world. " Indeed, in the flower world square garden, there is no flower that can compare with the delicate fragrance of Guo Lan. The fragrance of China orchids is elegant and elegant, without any powder, and it overflows with the wind. Ylang ylang smells all over the house, and it will be annoying when you smell it, giving people a feeling of calming the nerves. Our people call spearmint "fragrance" and praise it as "national fragrance". As early as the Song Dynasty, someone explained the meaning of the word "national fragrance" of China orchids: "A scholar who founded the country is also a national scholar, and a person who covers flowers with fragrance is also a national fragrance". Among all the fragrant countries, China Orchid with invincible fragrance has always been regarded as the national flower of our people. Orchids can be seen everywhere in our people's daily life. People call the beauty of friendship "Jin Lan of Benevolence", the article "Zhang Lan", the beautiful gesture in dance and opera performance "Orchid Hand", and the elegant lines in China's paintings "Orchid Leaf Description". People even call more than 40 kinds of flowers that are not orchids: Magnolia, Clivia, Violet, Milan and Eupatorium. For thousands of years, our people gave birth to children named after orchids. People named the heroine "Mulan", named the model of ancient virtuous ladies portrayed in Peacock Flying Southeast as "Lan Zhi", and even the revolutionary hero Liu Hulan. It can be seen that China orchids have long been a totem with beautiful ideals and ardent expectations in our people's lives. Dragon is the totem of the Chinese nation, and orchid is the totem of China people's life. China orchids are well-deserved national flowers.

China is a country with the largest variety of orchids and the richest flower shapes in the world. In all fairness, it should also be chosen as the national flower. At the beginning of the new year, headed by New Year's Day, Yunnan's "Daxuesu" and "Xiaoxuesu" bloomed, so people also called it "New Year's Day Orchid". The Spring Festival is a time for China people to celebrate the New Year, bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year. At this time, the "China Orchid" produced in Taiwan Province Province and southern provinces of China is actually fragrant, and people call it "New Year Orchid" because it blooms in the New Year. In early spring, Sichuan specialty "Spring Sword" orchids are fragrant in Tianfu, followed by "Spring Orchids" all over China. In late spring, "send Chunlan" to send spring home. In early summer, "Jiuhua Mountain" blooms to welcome the summer solstice. In the hot summer, "Four Seasons Orchid" spits incense. Autumn wind makes the green leaves and flowers of Qiu Lan more fragrant. In winter, flowers wither, but "Lenglan" proudly welcomes frost and snow. I would like to ask, which of China's traditional famous flowers can be fragrant all the year round in China and bloom every month? Only China orchids. Therefore, only China orchids are the most suitable national flowers.

Some people say: "Peony is the most gorgeous and rich, and it is the king of flowers. Can be rated as the national flower. " In fact, there are a large number of "peony flowers" in China orchid gardening varieties, which are more delicate and plump than peony flowers, can bloom all year round, and are fragrant on both sides. Some people say: "Plum blossoms are good, honest and have backbone, and can be the national flower with national spirit." As we all know, there are many varieties of "Plum Petal Floriculture" of orchids in China. There are Song Mei, Hongmei, Qingmei, Huangmei, Samui, Xue Mei and Momei, and there are even more double happiness plums and colorful plums. You can say anything. There are hundreds of "plum petals" in China orchids. The ancients have long commented that "plum has flowers without leaves, orchid has flowers without leaves". Orchids are better than plum blossoms. Some people also say, "Lotus grows out of mud without being stained, and tolerance and peace can be regarded as the national flower." Lotus is graceful, with combination as the most precious and blue lotus as the most precious. There are many "true lotus flowers" among orchids in China. As early as the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, China bred excellent varieties such as "Jasper Lotus", "Golden Lotus" and "Snow Lotus" from orchids. In terms of the shape and quality of flowers, the lotus flowers in orchids are more upright and peaceful than the lotus flowers, and each flower has more than 10, which is magnificent and fragrant. Since the reform and opening up in China, the country has been peaceful and peaceful, and all ethnic groups have been United and harmonious. China also has a more famous "Lotus petal Floriculture" selected from orchids, and the lotus treasure "Lv Yun" of Chunlan has also entered the homes of ordinary people. Among the orchids in China, there are lotus flowers that bloom in spring, of course, there are lotus flowers that bloom in summer, and lotus flowers that bloom in autumn and winter. The lotus in China orchids is the perfect harmony of the four seasons.

Peony is really rich, although it has a little backbone because it violates Wu Zetian's original intention of joining the army in Luoyang. However, if you really want to be loyal to plum blossoms, be less arrogant. Plum blossoms are strong enough, but they are too lonely and lack the tolerance and peace of lotus flowers. China Orchid is the only one that has the advantages of peony, plum blossom and lotus. Besides, peony, plum blossom and lotus are difficult to raise in thousands of households, especially in modern society, where several tall buildings can grow peony, plum blossom and lotus. Or China orchids, an inch-diameter flowerpot can be used for potted orchids, which can be kept on the balcony and put in the hall. Among orchids, peony flowers can be seen in all seasons. Although the flowers are slightly smaller, it is really well-off to be rich and expensive. Orchids often have plum blossom fragrance and green leaves, and they firmly believe in the "four modernizations". Indoor orchids can see lotus flowers every day, and harmony is really inclusive. From this perspective, who should you judge as the national flower?

Speaking of which, why can China orchids be so good? In fact, it is very simple. To put it bluntly, China orchids can be integrated into the beauty of everything in the world based on the excellent moral character of the Chinese nation and the culture and art of China. With thousands of years of Chinese civilization as its connotation, the precipitation of culture and art is particularly deep. China orchids have the beauty of peony, plum blossom and lotus flower, and the charm of daffodils, and chrysanthemums are noble and refined. China orchids do have varieties similar to daffodils and chrysanthemums. Moreover, the beauty of flower shape and color is even better than daffodils and chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemum and narcissus are also traditional famous flowers in China. However, they are all seasonal flowers, which can be enjoyed for a while and discarded as soon as the flowering period is over. However, orchids in China do not have these shortcomings. They gather the beauty of a hundred flowers in one flower, which is fragrant and fragrant. To this end, the ancient poem intones orchids: "The heart is not big, and it can hold a lot of incense." The tolerance of orchids in China is almost limitless. People also integrate the noble character of bamboo, the lofty ideal of willow, the peaceful life everywhere, butterflies, lion's pride and auspicious celebrations into orchids, promote the beauty of flattery to the beauty of personality, and list "Su" as the highest product to praise the noble character of purity and selflessness, and carry forward the excellent character of the Chinese nation based on goodness. Since the reform and opening-up, the flowers of civilization have blossomed everywhere, and people have continuously integrated the victorious flowers of China's civilization construction into orchids, showing the elegance of the times and overflowing the fragrance of Theory of Three Represents's brilliant theory. It is precisely because of its broad tolerance that China orchids have continuously enriched their appreciation connotation and enhanced their educational charm for thousands of years. In our opinion, only those flowers whose content can keep pace with the times can be rated as the national flower of our country. Judging by this standard, China orchids are the only traditional famous flowers.

Economy is the foundation, and its economy should also be considered when evaluating the national flower. Although peony symbolizes wealth, it is difficult for thousands of families to breed, and even peony is difficult to grow because of its low economic benefits. Prunes can be cut and harvested. Raising lotus seeds can also harvest lotus seeds and lotus roots. How much economic benefit can a big garden and a huge pond have? Raising chrysanthemums is only enough water and money, and raising daffodils is only feasible in Zhangzhou, Fujian, and it is difficult to make thousands of families rich. Orchids in China are flowers with the highest cultural added value and the highest economic value. So far, there is no flower in the flower world that can compare with China orchids. There are many rare orchids in China, which are called living cultural relics and green pearls. People will ask, if someone buys it, who wants it? The answer is that demand exceeds supply. There are thousands of series of orchids in China, with prices ranging from 1- 10000 RMB, which is in great demand in society. China Taiwan Province Province exports more than NT$ 3 billion of China orchids to South Korea and Japan every year. The export of orchids in Chinese mainland is also as high as several hundred million yuan every year. This does not include the export value of fine orchids in China. There is a greater demand for orchids in China. In the spring of 2003, 13 China Orchid Expo was held in Dali. The exhibition only lasted 3-5 days, but the turnover of orchids reached several hundred million RMB. For another example, Mabian in Sichuan is just a small mountainous county. In early spring, the county held an orchid exhibition, and sold more than 2 million yuan of orchids in two days. This is a considerable economic income for farmers in mountainous areas. Because of this, local farmers call orchids "rich grass, happy flowers". Indeed, orchids are another new way for people in mountainous areas to get rich. Orchids in China can be planted on balconies, roofs, patios and indoors, occupying little space. Orchids can be cultivated in one square meter for about 10 pots, and the annual growth rate is generally above 50%. Each pot of orchids is 1000 yuan, with an annual growth rate of 500 yuan. 10 Many pots of orchids are relaxed and leisurely, but the annual income can exceed 5,000 yuan. The price of many precious orchids in China is as high as several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan per seedling. If you plant more than 10 pots, the annual income will be considerable. Therefore, in the past 20 years, millions of people in China loved orchids and planted them, and many farmers in mountainous areas and laid-off workers in cities also made a fortune by planting orchids. More than 800 cities and counties in 28 provinces, autonomous regions and special zones across the country have carried out the activities of loving orchids and cultivating orchids. Among them, more than 20 provinces and special zones, including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, have established orchid associations. More than 500 cities and counties have established non-governmental organizations such as Orchid Association, China Orchid Research Association and Orchid Industry Association. China established China Orchid Association and China Orchid Society as early as 1987. People gradually realize the economy and culture of orchids in China. Give full play to these two characteristics, China orchids can develop into high-tech and high added value. Efficient precision agriculture. China Taiwan Province Province, Guangdong Pixian, Wenjiang, Pengzhou, Dujiangyan, Leshan, Yibin and Deyang, Sichuan Chengdu, Yunnan Kunming and Dali Autonomous Prefecture, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai Wuxi, Yixing, Wenzhou and Yongjia all developed China orchids as an industry, which has begun to take shape and produced very encouraging economic and social benefits. China 18 province or autonomous region China is rich in orchid resources, 95% of the resources of oriental orchids are in China, and the origin of China orchid culture is in China. This is an invaluable intangible asset. Rational development and comprehensive utilization of the precious wealth given to us by nature, and inheritance and development of China orchid cultural heritage will surely benefit the people and add beauty to the world. This shows that the economy of orchids in China is also the highest among all flowers. To evaluate the national flower, economic benefits are also the criteria that must be assessed. It is natural that China orchids are rated as national flowers.
