"Only peonies are really national colors, and the flowers move the capital during the blossoming season." Every year around the Time of the Qingming Dynasty and the Valley Rains, the ancient capital of Luoyang raises the city to rejoice. Tourists from all over the Central Plains, cities outside the provinces and the rest of the world flocked to luoyang's major parks with great interest. People take it a great honor to be able to see the Luoyang peony in the world.
Like the peony flower, the peony cake is also related to Wu Zetian, the only female emperor of China. At that time, Wu Zetian was forced to go to Chang'an Ganye Temple to cut his hair as a nun, and he was depressed, so he borrowed flowers for recreation and used peony petals, beans, red dates, etc. as raw materials to make sweet vegetarian cakes, which amazed the masters. After Wu Zetian replaced Li Tang in power, he commanded the world in luoyang's Shangyang Palace for a long time, leaving many good stories about peonies. When the peony blossoms are in bloom, she orders the imperial chef to take the tender flowers to make a delicate dessert——— peony cake for tasting during the flower viewing, and give it to the close attendants of the heavy courtiers. Later, this dessert craft spread to the people, from Luoyang to the whole country, from the Tang Dynasty to the future generations, and also crossed the ocean to Japan.
