In terms of mood and sentiment, the apricot garden has three meanings: first, advocating Confucianism and respecting Confucius, because Confucius founded Confucianism when he lectured in the apricot forest; second, the apricot blossoms bloom in February, the earliest sign of spring, which happens to be the time for the celebrations in various places. When the son went to Beijing for the examination, the apricot flower was also called "Jidi flower". Third, it is said that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the famous doctor Dong Feng did not charge a penny for treating patients, but only asked the patients' families to plant apricot trees in front of his door in return.
