Where will the 2023 Flower Show be held?

The 2023 Flower Festival was held in Fuzhou.

Flower Festival, also known as "Flower God's Birthday" and "Hundred Flowers' Birthday", is different from February 2, February 12 and February 15 of the lunar calendar mainly due to the differences of the times and the north and south regions. In most areas, the flower festival is set on February 15 of the lunar calendar, which corresponds to the "moon and evening" on August 15, that is, "flowers are opposite to the moon and evening", and spring flowers and autumn moons are the most beautiful.

The event kicked off with the wonderful performance of "China Flower God" from all over the country. Wonderful programs such as "Play Rhyme Spring" traditional opera performance and "Bud Bloom" children Hanfu model display were staged in turn, presenting the unique features of the Flower Festival festival culture.

Under the leadership of children dressed in Hanfu, the participants at the scene inherited the traditional custom of "appreciating the red" and tied ribbons symbolizing the beautiful wishes of spring on the branches of flower trees, conveying their wishes for spring and a bright future.

The Significance of Fuzhou Flower Festival

Flowers are fragrant, symbolizing beauty and prosperity. It is said that China is the only romantic person who celebrated Baihua A's birthday. In the literature of the Tang Dynasty, "Flower Dynasty" refers to a beautiful time, and it is an elegant custom to celebrate the Flower Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty. Scholars often go to the spring to enjoy the scenery, recite poems and compose poems, and feast on elegant collections.

From the Northern Song Dynasty to the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Flower Festival became a folk festival, and its folk connotation and activities became increasingly rich: worshipping the flower god, watching the red butterfly, visiting the garden, planting flowers to persuade farmers, and eating seasonal special food-Baihua cake made of flowers and wine, which represented people's happy expectation for bright spring and happy life.
