"The peony flowers are crowned with flowers, and there are more kings in the meantime"
After the three dynasties of the valley rain, the peony blossoms,
The old royal garden is in the middle again
ushered in a beautiful spring scene......
When it comes to peonies, it has a lot of fate with the Old Summer Palace. In the history of the Old Summer Palace, there is an interesting story about peonies.
Kangxi favored peonies all his life, and Yinzhen invited him to go to the peony platform to enjoy the flowers. Under Yinzhen's careful arrangement, Kangxi met his grandson Hongli here for the first time. Hongli was deeply appreciated by Kangxi, and since then he has accompanied the emperor, and was finally cultivated to become the future Qianlong Emperor.
This is also the only time in history that three generations of emperors have come together.
In addition, in the axis of the December order of the Qing Dynasty, there are also peonies-related depictions:
The end of April to the beginning of May is the best time for peony flowers, come to the Old Summer Palace and see the beauty of the country!
Peony ornamental area: including the scripture hall, the moon and the clouds, and the algae garden
In addition to Wei Zi, Yao Huang, and Doulu Zhao Fan, the peony family in the Old Summer Palace this year also has some new friends: the "Shengdan Furnace" that is like a fire in the Dan furnace when it is in full bloom, the "Pink Erqiao" whose flowers are complex and precious and rare, the peony flower demon "Jade Version White" in "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", the only peony named after the cultivation serial number "No. 18", as well as "Kao", "Jade House Diancui" and so on, and the purse peonies that have been loved in previous years are also embellished.
Wandering in the sea of flowers of the ruins of Hanjingtang, there are nearly 100 species, tens of thousands of flowers with bright and bright faces, and various peonies with light posture blooming, not enough to see, non-stop, and praised.
The moon is opened
If you love sketching and photography, then the algae garden in the west of the Old Summer Palace is the best choice for you. The peonies here are relatively low, and the environment is quiet and quiet. Not far from here, the Kaiyun peony viewing area of the moon has witnessed the gathering scene of the three dynasties of Kang Yongqian. Although the ancient building has long been obliterated, the peony flowers that bloom every year still seem to tell the story of the past.

# Tips #
Here, I would like to remind everyone that peony flowering is the most afraid of water. As soon as it gets wet, the petals immediately wrinkle and will wither after a few days. Therefore, when taking photos of the flowers, do not sprinkle water on the petals in pursuit of the effect of pearls.
