Peony flower, with bright colors, jade smiling pearls and great momentum, is known as "the king of flowers". At the same time, peony flowers are big and fragrant, so they are also known as "national color and fragrance".

Peony is called peony. According to Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, the book explains: "Peony is a plant although it bears seeds on its roots to raise seedlings. Its dividend is Dan. The combination is peony. " Peony flowers are beautiful in color, posture, fragrance and rhyme, large and colorful, and rhyme compresses fragrance. According to the color system, it can be divided into eight color systems: dark purple, white, yellow, pink, red, purple, snow blue and green, which have good ornamental value.

Peony is not only ornamental, but also edible. Many places use peony petals to make peony soup, or add color to side dishes to make famous dishes. Moreover, peony petals can also be used to steam wine, and peony dew tastes mellow. For example, the Ming Dynasty's "Er Ru Pavilion Family Tree" records: "The peony flower decoction method is the same as magnolia, which is edible and can be soaked in honey."
