According to folklore, China's national flower is peony. In fact, it's not. China's national flower is not determined now. What's the matter?
According to No. 0440 of the second session of the eighth session of the National People's Congress in 1994, the proposal on the evaluation of China's national flower as soon as possible was approved and transferred to the Ministry of agriculture for handling, and China Flower Association was entrusted with the responsibility of specific organization. China Flower Association has organized a wide range of in-depth national flower selection activities in China. A leading group for the selection of national flowers was established. After discussion by the expert group, the conditions for the selection of national flowers in China were determined as follows:
Cultivation has a long history, strong adaptability, has an impact in most areas of our country, and occupies a leading position in the world.
The special features of flower posture and color reflect the excellent tradition and character of the Chinese nation.
It has a wide range of uses, is popular with the masses of the people, and has high social, environmental and economic benefits.
Since the China Flower Association organized and led the discussion of national flowers all over the country, the China Flower news has published many famous people and the masses who have had a heated discussion on the selection of national flowers. According to the publication of China Flower news, the species that have been nominated as the flower selection of China are: plum blossom, peony, chrysanthemum, orchid, rose, Rhododendron, camellia, lotus, osmanthus, Chinese Narcissus, pomegranate, wintersweet, winter jasmine, peach, YINGSHANHONG, Junzilan, XuanCao, Jinhua tea, Daphne odora, crape myrtle, MiZuHua, Davidia involucrata (pigeon tree), a string and Yingrong flower, etc. Dozens of them. After nearly ten months of discussion, the task has been successfully completed.
According to the results reported by 31 provinces, regions and cities (including Shenzhen Special Economic Zone), it is in favor of one country, one flower.
There are 18 provinces (58.06%). 11 provinces (35.48%) are in favor of one country with four flowers (peony, plum blossom, chrysanthemum and Lotus). Two provinces put forward a new four flower plan, that is, to exchange orchid for lotus, accounting for 6.45%. After careful study, the national flower selection leading group unanimously agreed that "Peony" is China's national flower.
Other popular orchids (spring), lotus (summer), chrysanthemum (Autumn) and plum (winter) are the four famous flowers in China. In this way, orchid (spring), lotus (summer), chrysanthemum (Autumn) and plum (winter) are the four seasons of Shaohua, and peony is the general leader. The state flower and the famous flowers of the four seasons form a situation in which the stars hold the moon. How can it not better reflect the prosperity, integrity and noble spirit of the Chinese nation?
Although the voice is very high, but peony has not been established as China's national flower!
In 1994 & nbsp; after nearly ten months of discussion, many national flower candidates appeared, including plum blossom, peony, chrysanthemum, orchid, rose, azalea, camellia, lotus, osmanthus, Narcissus, pomegranate, wintersweet, Yingchun, peach, YINGSHANHONG, Junzilan, XuanCao, Jinhua tea, Daphne odora, crape myrtle, gardenia, a bunch of red and hibiscus flowers. But the National People's Congress shelved it on the grounds of "too much disagreement".
On September 20, 205, most of the representatives supported the selection of peony and plum blossom as the "double National Flowers" of China. But there are also different opinions, advocating "one country, one flower", and once again there are differences.
Once, "plum blossom and peony" have won the championship respectively, but why "peony is only the national flower"?
