What is the reason why people in Harbin regard lilacs as city flowers?

I come from Harbin. Although I have left my hometown now, I still remember that every spring when lilacs are in full bloom, there are groups of pink, purple and white sheep everywhere in the streets and alleys. A gust of wind blew the fragrance scattered all over the place, and the air was filled with happiness. This is my childhood memory! I have read some reports that there are the most kinds of lilacs in Harbin, and there should be more than 50 species in the world, accounting for 33 species in Harbin, which is also the most representative flower in Harbin. The flower language and symbol of lilac flowers mean innocence, first love, humility and brilliance. The following is the information that lilacs have become the flowers of Harbin! The city flower of Xining is also lilac!

(1988 April 12, the Standing Committee of Harbin Municipal People's Congress identified clove as the city flower of Harbin. "Princess Lilac" wears the feather clothes of "City Flower" and is deeply loved by Harbin people. There are three kinds of lilacs, white lilacs, red lilacs, assorted lilacs, French lilacs, Korean lilacs, Guandong lilacs and Liaodong lilacs in Harbin 13, and there are also three kinds of wild Zushima lilacs 13 transplanted from Xiaoxing 'anling and Wandashan forests. Lilacs are not susceptible to pests and diseases and have strong vitality. They have the characteristics of simplicity, boldness and sincerity of northerners. Lilacs can absorb harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide in the air, improve the environment and regulate the air. Spring in Harbin comes late and goes quickly, and lilacs just bloom at this time, making up for the short spring in Harbin, so they are loved by Harbin people. )

Make "Lilac" bigger and stronger, and let Lilac become a business card of Harbin like the Ice and Snow Festival. The colorful and fragrant May of lilacs is a charming season in Harbin. Turning the city flower lilac into a business card will bring more development opportunities to Harbin, a beautiful city, which is the expectation of people of insight and citizens.

This will not only improve the public's awareness of environmental protection, but also expand lilacs to all fields of culture and economy and make money. Let more friends and merchants at home and abroad know Harbin through lilacs, and Harbin can do more meaningful things with lilacs as the medium. The development of lilacs is promising and valuable.

Lilacs are naturally selected from many tree species in Harbin, and have the characteristics of shade tolerance, cold tolerance and strong vitality.

In the interview, the reporter heard that the general public were full of praise for lilacs. They hope that the relevant departments can plant, manage and develop lilacs well, and at the same time do a good job in publicizing and caring for lilacs, and make full use of lilacs, a unique local tree species, so as to make Harbin's development more vibrant and energetic.
