在中国历史上,不同观赏植物往往会被打上不同的阶层烙印,比如梅、兰、竹、菊是文人们的心头肉,普通百姓家则喜好美艳的月季,而牡丹算得上是跨阶层的一种花卉了。文人崇敬它们不为强权,被武则天烧成枯枝的气节;而普通百姓则更愿意欣赏它们雍容华贵的花朵,大家各取所需,倒也自得其乐。 In Chinese history, different ornamental plants tend to be branded with different strata, such as plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, which are the hearts and minds of the literati. Ordinary people prefer the beautiful rose, while Peony is regarded as a cross-strata A flower The literati revered that they were not power and were burned by Wu Zetian into dead branches. Ordinary people were more willing to admire their graceful flowers.
