The origin of Kaifeng Chrysanthemum Exhibition
Chrysanthemum is the city flower of Kaifeng. Kaifeng has a long history of chrysanthemum cultivation, which began to take shape in the Tang Dynasty. Liu Yuxi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, described Kaifeng Chrysanthemum as yellow as a family chrysanthemum and Liangyuan as frost. To the Northern Song Dynasty, Kaifeng Chrysanthemum is more famous. On the Double Ninth Festival, there is not only an act of chrysanthemum competition in the flower market, but also chrysanthemum cultivation, chrysanthemum branches, chrysanthemum lamps, chrysanthemum wine drinking and even 'chrysanthemum flower fair' in the palace. In Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was still a prevailing trend of chrysanthemum cultivation and appreciation in Kaifeng. When Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty came to Kaifeng yuwangtai to appreciate chrysanthemums, he left a famous poem of 'maple leaves and green leaves, frost flowers and white chrysanthemums', which was engraved on the' Qianlong Royal monument 'preserved in yuwangtai park today. After the founding of new China, especially since the reform and opening up, the traditional custom of Kaifeng people's love for chrysanthemum is still strong. In 1983, the Standing Committee of Kaifeng Municipal People's Congress decided to name chrysanthemum as "city flower" of Kaifeng City, and to hold "chrysanthemum flower fair" in October every year.
Since 2000, Kaifeng Chrysanthemum Flower Fair has been designated as a provincial Festival by Henan provincial Party committee and government. Kaifeng is the only city where chrysanthemums hold annual meetings once a year. From October 18 to November 18 of each year, chrysanthemum flower fair is held.
The 2017 Kaifeng Chrysanthemum festival will be held from October 18 to November 18. Chrysanthemum competition will open. At that time, the city will be full of golden armour. Please take photos!
