At present, the national flower of our country has not been completely determined, but it will be selected between peony and plum blossom if there is no accident. Although plum blossom is chosen as the top ten famous flowers, peony is more popular among the people. Of course, there are also some proposals for peony and plum blossom to juxtapose as the national flower, or a country of four flowers.
1. Peony: peony is known as the king of flowers, and its beautiful shape, elegant, loved by the people. In the late Qing Dynasty, it was also regarded as the national flower. But in the vote of the top ten flowers, she was second to Meihua.
2. Meihua: Meihua won the first prize in the top ten famous flowers in China, so it deserves to be regarded as the national flower. Moreover, it has places among the four gentlemen and the three friends in the middle of winter. Its blooming characteristics also symbolize the people's indomitable spirit, and many poems praise it. Therefore, it became a strong candidate flower, which was also named national flower in the Republic of China.
3. Lotus: an article about lotus makes many people remember its characteristic of leaving mud without dyeing. Moreover, lotus is loved by people because it is full of treasure. However, compared with the first two, it is a little inferior in the ranking
4. Chrysanthemum: Chrysanthemum ranked third among the top ten famous flowers. Tao Qian in the Eastern Jin Dynasty praised it and gave it the style of hermit. And the chrysanthemum appreciation custom of Chongyang Festival also makes it very popular with the people.
