9 . “The peach tree beams so red. How brilliant are its flowers. The maiden’s getting wed. Good for the nuptial bowers.” This is a verse(诗句) in Shijing, the oldest existing collection of Chinese poetry, describing a young woman getting married in a cheerful spring.     1    .

Peach blossom is a significant element in Chinese culture as it is a symbol of love and well-being, as well as a sign of spring and vitality.

    2    . According to archaeologists(考古学家) from Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, the ancient Chinese in the lower reaches of Yangtze River already knew how to cultivate peaches 7,500 years ago. Until today, the deciduous tree has earned its place in agriculture, literature and horticulture.

From south to north, many cities, regions and gardens hold their own peach blossom festivals every spring.     3    . Nyingchi peach blossom festival in southwest China’s Tibet Autonomous Region is one of the most popular events. Unlike the cultivated species in gardens, the peach trees here are a wild species called Prunus mira, or Tibetan peach.     4    . The altitude there is around 2000-3400 meters above sea level, hence they are more cold-resistant and also taller.

Flowering is not just about plants themselves. It’s also about how people approach their lives.     5    . In some places, appreciating the luxuriant bursts of flowers has been turned into a tourist hotspot and thus an economic drive.
