❀The national flower of China❀中国的国花：牡丹❀ Peony is the national flower of China.Maybe not everyone loves peony，but its pattern can be seen everywhere.This is the season of peony now.My mother buy them from the market.Pretty beautiful flowers：） 牡丹石中国的国花.也许并不是每个人都喜欢牡丹，但是到处都可以看到牡丹花的图案.现在正是牡丹花盛开的季节。今天我妈妈在市场买了这些花。真的是超美啊！ Peony has bright colour，and its gigantic full flowers symbolizes the prosperity.People also said the peony represents the unique elegance of oriental women.While I believe that the meaning of which the peony represents is more than that. 牡丹花有着鲜艳明亮的色彩，它硕大丰满的花朵象征着繁荣昌盛。人们说牡丹象征着东方女性独特的典雅气质。不过我觉得牡丹所代表的寓意远不止这些。 There is a story about peonys in the Chiese classical fiction called Jing Hua Yuan（the destiny of the flowers in the mirror ）.Wu Zetian, the empress of the Tang Dynasty (618-908)，she once ordered all the flowers to blossom in the winter.All the flowers were afraid of her and did what she want except the peony.Then Express Wu uprooted all the peonys in Chan‘an.The peony refused to obey the order，because it has independent personality and it will never ever compromise on power or authority.I guess that the peony deserves to be the Queen of the flowers：） 在中国的古典小说《镜花缘》中有这样一个故事：唐朝的女皇武则天，有一次命令所有的花必须在冬天开放。所有的花儿都很害怕，所以都照着她的话做了。不过只有牡丹选择了拒绝。于是女皇将所有长安的牡丹都连根拔起了。牡丹拒绝服从这一指令是因为它拥有自己独立的人格。它永远不会向强权妥协。我想它当之无愧是百花之首：）
