During the Qing Dynasty, the mainland used peony as the national flower. However, with the withdrawal history of the Qing Dynasty, the position of the national flower has become vacant again. In the Republic of China period, the plum blossom was briefly positioned as the national flower.
After the establishment of New China, the national flower has been in a state of suspense, and at present, peony and plum blossom are the two most popular flowers. According to the 2019 poll, the total number of votes 362264 votes, and 79.71% of the voting results chose peony as the national flower of the mainland.
Only the peony is the true national color, and the flowers move the capital during the blossom season.
