Liu Yuxi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, described Kaifeng Chrysanthemum as "every chrysanthemum is yellow, and Liang garden is only like frost". To the Northern Song Dynasty, Kaifeng Chrysanthemum is more famous. During the Double Ninth Festival, there are not only flower fairs and chrysanthemum competitions among the people, but also chrysanthemum cultivation, chrysanthemum branch planting, chrysanthemum lamp hanging, chrysanthemum wine drinking, and even chrysanthemum flower fair in the palace. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the custom of cultivating and appreciating chrysanthemums was still popular in Kaifeng. When Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty visited yuwangtai in Kaifeng to appreciate chrysanthemums, he left behind the famous poem "maple leaves and black leaves fall, frost flowers and white chrysanthemums pile", which was engraved on the "Qianlong Imperial stele" preserved in today's yuwangtai park. After the founding of new China, especially since the reform and opening up, the traditional custom of Kaifeng people loving chrysanthemum is still strong.
