The flower on this one-yuan note is an orchid. Orchids have been loved by people since ancient times. Although it does not have large leaves and flowers, its simple, quiet, indifferent and elegant temperament is in line with our Chinese aesthetic standards. Therefore, as a symbol of nobility and elegance, orchids are called the "Four Gentlemen of Flowers" together with "plum, bamboo and chrysanthemum".

The flower on the five-yuan note is a daffodil. Narcissus has a history of more than one thousand years in China. It is considered a flower in the traditional sense and is also one of the top ten famous flowers in China. Daffodils are fragrant, fresh, simple and elegant. They only need a dish of clean water to bloom in the cold winter when all flowers are withering. They symbolize that people will be blessed with good fortune and auspiciousness in the new year.

Chinese daffodils are one of the few flowers that can be carved. In the skillful hands of the sculptor, daffodils can be shaped into bonsai of various forms, such as "Spring Forsythia Basket" and "Peacock Spreading its Tail", bringing people wonderful spiritual enjoyment.

There is a lotus flower on the 20 yuan RMB note. The lotus not only has emerald green leaves and large flowers, but the lotus pods it produces are also edible. It is simply a treasure from head to toe. "The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun" is the most intuitive description of its appearance.

In addition to its ornamental and medicinal value, the lotus' noble quality has also attracted the favor of many literati and poets, the most famous of whom is Zhou Dunyi's "On the Love of Lotus". The character of the lotus he described, "growing out of the mud without being stained, washing in the clear water without being coquettish", has influenced generation after generation.

chrysanthemum

There is a chrysanthemum on the 50 yuan RMB note. Chrysanthemum is one of the top ten famous flowers in China. In traditional Chinese culture, it has always been a symbol of longevity and auspiciousness. Therefore, during the Double Ninth Festival, there has always been a custom of appreciating chrysanthemums and drinking chrysanthemum wine. This can be seen from Meng Haoran's "Wait until the Double Ninth Festival, and come back to eat chrysanthemums."

In addition to the meaning of longevity, chrysanthemum also has a noble and aloof character. Huahua likes the poem that describes chrysanthemum very much: "I would rather die with fragrance on the branches than be blown away by the north wind."

One hundred dollar bill

plum bossom

The last thing Huahua talked about was the hundred-dollar bill that everyone loves. There is a plum blossom on the 100 yuan RMB note. As a flower that blooms outdoors in the cold winter, it is known as one of the "Three Friends of Winter" along with pine and bamboo. It is also one of the top ten famous flowers in China.

Because of the characteristic of the plum blossom blooming alone in the cold, it has always been endowed by literati and poets with the qualities of strength and humility, encouraging people to work hard and be positive in adversity.
