The representative meaning of Cymbidium

Cymbidium represents the image of China: rich and elegant, steadfast and honest. It embodies the unique characteristics of the Chinese people and the spirit of the Chinese nation of unity and solidarity. During the Yao, Shun and Yu periods, Cymbidium and Angelica dahurica were called "Huizhi", representing the 5,000-year civilization history of the descendants of Yan and Huang. In traditional Chinese consciousness, "Huizhi" is seen as a symbol and emblem of the Chinese nation's beautiful mountains and rivers, territorial integrity, prosperity and national unity.

What we now call Chinese orchids was called "Hui" in ancient times, so "Huizhilanxin" means that the essence of Huilan is the center of Chinese orchids. The center of the Chinese orchid is "Hui", which means "Hui heart", or Chinese heart. People who love orchids must love "Hui". "Hui" refers to China, and "Hui" means Chinese vanilla, and "Zhi" means people's vanilla, so "Huizhi" is called "national fragrance".
