The legend of peach blossom

Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring" outlines a utopian ideal state for future generations. "The peach blossom forest stretches for hundreds of steps along the banks, with no other trees in the middle. The grass is fresh and fragrant, and the fallen petals are colorful..." Tao Yuanming's noble character of "not bending for a few bowls of rice" has had a great influence on future generations of patriots and kind-hearted people.

"In this door on this day last year, the human face and the peach blossoms were reflected in each other. I don't know where the human face has gone, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze." There is also a touching love story behind this famous poem written by Cui Hu. One year during the Qingming Festival, Cui Hu went for an outing in the suburbs and met a pretty girl by a farmhouse. The girl's cheeks were particularly beautiful against the background of the peach blossoms blooming in the yard. Cui Hu asked for a bowl of water from her and left reluctantly. After that, he could not forget the girl's beautiful face for a long time. At the same time of the following year, Cui Hu went to the farmhouse again. However, only the peach blossoms were still in full bloom, but the girl was gone. It turned out that the girl had died of depression due to missing him too much. Cui Hu was extremely sad. Fortunately, an immortal was moved and resurrected the girl, making a happy marriage possible. Peach blossoms have become a witness to this beautiful love.

The beautiful appearance of peach blossoms was naturally loved by emperors and their concubines. Legend has it that Emperor Minghuang of Tang and Yang Guifei both loved peach blossoms, so they planted a large number of peach trees in the Forbidden Garden. When peach blossoms were in full bloom, they often went to the peach garden to enjoy the flowers. The emperor would put the most beautiful flower on the concubine's head, saying "this flower can best enhance your beauty."

In another legend, Kuafu chased the sun. Before he died, he threw out a sacred tree, which immediately turned into a peach forest. The earliest Spring Festival couplets in my country were made of peach wood boards, also called peach charms. People believe that peach wood products have the power to ward off evil spirits, so some families place them indoors.
