The eyes are bright and green, and the eight immortals are gathered in the flowers. On May 20th, the 10th Hydrangea Exhibition with the theme of "Ziyang Love Language, National Style Intangible Cultural Heritage" will kick off in Wushan Scenic Area in Hangzhou.
As a veteran flower exhibition in Hangzhou, the flower show is carried out around the theme of "national style intangible cultural heritage", and integrates "intangible cultural heritage skills" into it in garden art sketches, cultural and entertainment activities, popular science education columns, immersive experiences, etc., so as to help the continuation of intangible cultural heritage "live" and create a warm atmosphere of "Chinese tide", "intangible cultural heritage style" and "fireworks".
A hairpin flower is beautiful in this life
At present, the rise of intangible cultural heritage and national style has created a trend of "hairpins" among young people. So in Hangzhou, is there such a place where hairpins and Hangzhou's gentle, atmospheric and open temperament can be blended just right?
Some! In the Wushan Scenic Area!
As the only mountain in the mountains of West Lake that enters the urban area, Wushan Xiangjiang River has a lake, and it does not lose the fireworks in the world, which can be said to occupy the "right time, place and people". Every year in May~June, a feast of flowers will be held here - the Hydrangea Exhibition.
This year, in order to make this "flower world" more down-to-earth and add more stories of "flower reunion" to Hangzhou, on May 20, the Phoenix Mountain Management Office of the West Lake Scenic Area will invite many beautiful Hanfu girls to wear hairpins and walk through all corners of the Wushan Scenic Area, and take photos in the fairy spirit.
Hairpin flower is a kind of ancient Chinese headdress, also called wearing flowers, hairpins, and flower arrangement.
The custom of hairpin flowers has a history of two or three thousand years in the mainland. Zhou Fang's "Hairpin Lady" vividly reproduces the situation of hairpins wearing colors in the Tang Dynasty.
In the Song Dynasty, women wore hairpins, and men also wore hairpins. Ouyang Xiu of the Northern Song Dynasty wrote in "Fengle Pavilion Tour Spring": "The spring clouds are faint and the sun shines, and the grass provokes the clothes. Go to Tingxi to meet the Taishou, and the basket is drunk and the flower arrangement returns. "From the perspective of social class, from the emperor and nobles to the commoners, all hairpins are blooming. In books such as "Menglianglu", "History of the Song Dynasty, Yufu V", and "History of the Song Dynasty: Lizhi XV", it is also recorded that the emperor personally gave hairpins to hundreds of officials according to their ranks.
During the Hydrangea Exhibition, you can also experience the Song hairpin in Wushan, which should be in time for the occasion, and the limited romantic hairpin in summer will be in the hair, and you can take photos and check in in the Wushan Scenic Area to cherish the beautiful moment of this "summer".
The stairs at the entrance of the City God Pavilion and the sea of flowers on the celebrity trail are two unmissable check-in spots. The steps extending upwards at the entrance of the City God's Pavilion are pasted with traditional Chinese painting hydrangeas, like a natural three-dimensional picture, which is combined with the hydrangeas competing on both sides to form a beautiful avenue of hydrangeas. The celebrity trail has created a sea of hydrangeas of nearly 1,000 square meters, when you are wearing Hanfu and hairpins, you will be able to take beautiful "life photos".
At the same time, there is also a "benefit": on May 20, regardless of men, women and children, as long as you come to Wushan with flowers, you can get free admission (the ticket price of Chenghuang Pavilion is 30 yuan/person).
The details are full of forensic aesthetics and ingenuity
In addition to the hairpin activities, this year's Hydrangea Exhibition also continued the characteristics of previous years, in the Wushan Grand View and the ancient tree platform area specially arranged garden sketches, the second floor of the Chenghuang Pavilion new special varieties display area, the ancient tree platform area of the science popularization area, etc., during the flower show there are also a series of activities such as research and sacrifice can participate.
This year's flower show will last from May 20th to June 24th, and the general public and tourists are welcome to come to Wushan Scenic Area to enjoy it.
In early summer, meet you!
