Slogan of sui dynasty

Spring is here, and it is the season of flowers.

Recently, there are more and more topics about peony flowers, which are nothing more than Luoyang peony is the best in the world, or Heze peony is the best in the world. Of course, there is also a Xiangyang. Some netizens dug up a slogan in Xiangyang-why go to Luoyang to enjoy the flowers when the peony is out of Xiangyang? This is enough to directly hit Luoyang from the root, but is this really the case?

Let's talk about peony flowers in detail!

peony

Stir up three cities

Luoyang, Heze and Xiangyang, who is the best in the world?

Let's start with the slogan. It's actually just a propaganda slogan. This is not enough to prove, nor can it be true. If we look through the old news on the Internet, there are countless stories, such as "The peony in the world comes from Chang 'an", "The peony in the world comes from Heze" and "The peony in the world comes from Shanxi". As for "why go to Luoyang to enjoy flowers", it is a marketing tool. At that time, there was "Disney is too far away, so it is better to go to Suzhou for amusement."

Peony is graceful and elegant, ranking among the top ten famous flowers in China (orchid, plum blossom, peony, lotus, chrysanthemum, rose, osmanthus, rhododendron, narcissus and camellia). Many people regard peony as the national flower, but there is no clear national flower in China.

Peony is native to the mountains around Qinling Mountain and Daba Mountain in western China, and there are many wild areas in Qinling Mountain and northern Shaanxi Mountain.

As an ornamental plant, it began in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

During the Sui Dynasty, the introduction and cultivation of royalty and dignitaries was a transitional stage.

The Tang Dynasty developed rapidly. Please note that Chang 'an and Luoyang should be distinguished here.

The prosperity of peony began in the early Tang Dynasty, and some people thought it was the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

In short, peony flowers shine brilliantly in Chang 'an and Luoyang, attracting much attention. Peony with good appearance is worth 10,000 yuan, but the price of rice bucket is 13 yuan, and Qi Qing only fights San Qian (a bucket of rice is 13 yuan, and a bucket of rice between Qingzhou and qi zhou is only San Qian), which shows that peony is expensive!

Luoyang peony ranks first in the world, which is inseparable from Luoyang's geographical environment and historical position.

"Luoyang is the most suitable flower, and peony is wonderful in the world." (Ouyang Xiu)

Luoyang has beautiful mountains and rivers, and the ancient capital raises people and flowers. It is said that there was a man named Song Danfu in Luoyang at that time who was good at growing flowers. At the call of Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, he went to Lishan to plant peony with different colors, which showed that it was a common practice to cultivate and enjoy flowers at that time. Everyone from emperors to ordinary people knows peony, and everyone likes it. It is called the national flower of the Tang Dynasty.

As for the saying that "Luoyang peony is the best in the world", it may have evolved from Ouyang Xiu's Biography of Luoyang Peony. "People who leave Luoyang are now the best in the world", while Ouyang Xiu was from the Song Dynasty, which means that Luoyang peony flourished in the Tang Dynasty and the best in the world was in the Song Dynasty.

However, there are no flowers that are one hundred days red. With the change of dynasties and historical changes, in the Southern Song Dynasty, peony in Tian Peng, Sichuan Province rose, sometimes reaching its peak.

At present, the main attractions of Luoyang Peony are Wangcheng Park, China National Garden, Shenzhou Peony Garden, International Peony Garden, National Peony Garden and Peony Park.

Among them, Wangcheng Park was built on the ruins of Wangcheng in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. China National Garden is located on the site of the ancient city of Sui and Tang Dynasties in Luonan. China Peony Garden is opposite to Baima Temple; Guose Peony Garden is located in Mangshan Town, also known as Luoyang National Peony Gene Bank in China.

Obviously, Luoyang Peony has a better historical and cultural background than Luoyang, at least it is a plus item!

Heze was called Cao Zhou in ancient times, so it is said that Heze Peony and Cao Zhou Peony are the best in the world.

The development of Heze peony is later than Luoyang peony, but there is a great momentum for latecomers to catch up.

As mentioned above, peony flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, especially in Chang 'an and Luoyang, but after the Ming Dynasty, the planting center of peony had moved.

Where did it move?

Cao Zhou, of course.

Cao Zhou was called Cao Guo in ancient times, and Zhou Wuwang named his sixth brother Zhen Duo Cao Bo. He established Cao Guo and made its capital Tao Qiu.

The Northern Zhou Dynasty changed Xiyanzhou to Cao Zhou.

In the third year of Sui Daye, it was changed to Yin Ji County.

Tang Wude returned to Cao Zhou four years later.

In the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Cao Zhou in Shandong Province was reduced to Cao County in Shandong Province, which belonged to Yanzhou Prefecture.

In the second year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty, Cao Zhou was promoted to Zhili Prefecture, and in the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, it was promoted to Cao Zhou Prefecture.

There are many places of interest in Caozhou, such as Wang Yao Tomb, Tang Tomb, Yi Yin Tomb and Wang Shun Temple. , showing the historical and cultural background of Cao Zhou, which is also quite rich and heavy!

Let's talk about Cao Zhou Peony, which was recorded as early as the Southern Song Dynasty and cultivated during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, it became more prosperous, with an area of 1000 mu of cultivated land. Several peony gardens have been built, especially Muli Garden, Ningxiang Garden and Qiyuan Garden.

Being able to build gardens and plant peonies shows that the local Cao Zhou peonies are flourishing, which has become a common practice.

As for the statement that "Cao Zhou peony is the best in the world", according to Cao Nan's Peony Classic, the statement that "Cao Nan peony is the best in the world in the Ming Dynasty" and "Cao Zhou peony is the best in the world" came into being in the Qing Dynasty, which is by no means invented by modern people.

The scenic spots for viewing peony in Heze include Cao Zhou Baihua Garden, Cao Zhou Peony Garden, Ancient and Modern Garden and China Peony Garden.

Among them, Cao Zhou Baihua Garden, formerly known as Wanhua Village, was built in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. There is a peony king in the garden in the Ming Dynasty, which is said to have been planted by He Yingrui, a senior minister of the Ministry of Industry during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Its plant height is 2.6 meters and its crown width reaches 4 meters. It is one of the largest and oldest peony plants in China.

Cao Zhou Peony Garden is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, which was developed on the basis of more than 65,438+00 peony gardens since Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the east of the Peony Garden, it is close to the Gushui River, which is the site of the Battle of Guilin, an ancient battlefield.

In addition, there are two graceful white marble fairy peonies in the peony garden, one is called "Jin Ge" and the other is called "Jade Edition". There is such a story in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio.

This ancient and modern garden was founded by Wang Meng in Hongwu period of Ming Dynasty, rebuilt by Wang Zisong in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty and rebuilt by Wang Yuchang in Tongzhi period of late Qing Dynasty. The park was rebuilt on 1958 and named "Ancient and Modern Garden".

Judging from the above situation, Heze Peony deserves its name, and it is not as lacking in historical and cultural details as some people on the Internet say. In fact, Cao Zhou peony has a long history, and Heze peony is famous far and wide, because it makes peony flower a local industry, which is better than Luoyang peony.

At present, the spring is full, peony flowers are in full bloom, and peony flowers are held everywhere. For a time, tourists were woven. In fact, who is the best in the world? I don't know what you think.
