Wu Zetian went to the back garden to play in the cold winter. When she saw the white snow and the withered flowers, she suddenly had an idea in her heart, hoping that the flowers would bloom overnight. Therefore, she issued an imperial edict: " Tomorrow, you will visit Shangyuan. Quickly announce the arrival of spring. The flowers will be sent out at night. Don't wait for the morning wind to urge them." Flower Fairy knew Wu Zetian's way of doing things. Although she felt that it was not in season to bloom in winter, she did not dare to disobey her will. The next day, despite the blizzard and the bone-chilling wind, peach blossoms, plum blossoms, magnolias, and other flowers were still in full bloom. All the civil and military officials of the court came to watch this wonderful scene. However, the peony adhered to its own flowering pattern and refused to bloom. Wu Zetian saw that the peony had not bloomed, and his face was furious. He first expelled the peony from the capital and demoted it to Mangshan Mountain in Luoyang. The peony took root and grew after arriving in Luoyang. The next spring, the flowers would bloom luxuriously. Wu Zetian became even angrier after hearing this and sent people to Luoyang to burn all the peonies. However, people were surprised to find that although the branches of the peonies were charred black, the flowers were still eye-catching. Therefore, the peonies had the title of "scorched bone peonies". The peony fairy was also hailed as the "King of Flowers" by the flower fairies because of her fearless righteousness. Since then, the peonies had taken root and bloomed in Luoyang. Luoyang peonies were also famous all over the world. " Fairy Dream of Tang Shi: Fate of Peony " is equally wonderful.

To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

The story of peony and Wu Zetian

Legend has it that one winter after Wu Zetian became emperor, she was playing in the imperial garden.

The Fable of Wu Zetian and the Peony Flower

There were many versions of the story of Wu Zetian and Peony. One theory was that Wu Zetian went to the back garden to play in the cold winter. When she saw the white snow and the withered flowers, she hoped that the flowers would bloom overnight, so she issued an imperial edict to the Flower Fairy: " Go to Shangyuan in the morning and announce the arrival of spring as soon as possible. The flowers will bloom overnight and don't wait for the morning wind to urge them." The Flower Fairy panicked. She was afraid of Wu Zetian's way of doing things. The next day, all the Flower Fairies bloomed in the bad weather, except for the peonies. Wu Zetian was furious and chased Peony out of the capital, banishing her to the remote Mount Mang of Luoyang. After the peony took root in Luoyang, it would bloom in the spring of the following year. Wu Zetian became even angrier after hearing this and sent people to Luoyang to burn peonies. However, although the branches of the peonies were charred black, the flowers were still eye-catching. Therefore, they had the title of "scorched bone peony". The peony fairy was also supported by the flower fairies as the "King of Flowers". There was also a saying that after Wu Zetian became the empress, she saw the wintersweet flowers blooming in the back garden one winter and wrote a poem to order the flowers to bloom the next day. The next day, the wintersweet bloomed, and the garden was filled with flowers. Wu Zetian admired the flowers and rewarded the flowers and trees, but the peonies did not bloom. This angered her. The people in the life palace roasted the peony branches with charcoal fire, and the peonies only bloomed. However, Wu Zetian's anger had not subsided. She cleared the thousand peony branches out of Chang 'an, the capital, and demoted them to Luoyang, the palace. From then on, there was the Luoyang Peony Festival. Another version said that Wu Zetian wrote an edict to let the flowers bloom overnight. The next day, the flowers bloomed, but the peony refused to flatter the female protagonist's favorite minister and did not bloom. Wu Zetian was furious and demoted the peony to Nara, making the Nara peony crown the world. " Fairy Dream of Tang Shi: Fate of Peony " is equally wonderful. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

The reason why Peony was demoted to Luoyang by Wu Zetian

Legend has it that one day after Wu Zetian ascended the throne, he went to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the scenery in the middle of winter. He was very unhappy when he saw the Imperial Garden was deserted, so he issued an edict to let the flowers bloom overnight. The flower fairies were afraid of disobeying the king's order and suffered, so they all bloomed. Only the peony resisted the order and did not bloom. This angered Wu Zetian, so he ordered all the peony flowers in the imperial garden to be uprooted and thrown into the mountains outside Luoyang. This led to the saying that the peonies were banished to Luoyang by Wu Zetian. However, there were also people who believed that the real reason was that Luoyang's climate and soil were extremely suitable for the growth of peonies. The gardeners of the Tang Dynasty cultivated many varieties of peonies. The so-called being demoted might be a story made up by people who loved peonies.

Why did Wu Zetian demote the peony to Luoyang?

When Wu Zetian visited Shangyuan in winter, she ordered the flowers to bloom overnight. After the God of Flowers received the imperial edict, he let the flowers bloom, but the peonies were proud and refused to bloom. Wu Zetian was furious and demoted Peony to the west of Luoyang. There was also a saying that when Wu Zetian saw that the peony refused to open up, she first ordered people to roast the branches of the peony with charcoal fire, and then dug out all the peonies in the inner garden of the palace and chopped them with knives and axes. However, the peony fairy never violated the season, nor did she flatter Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian eventually expelled Peony from the capital and demoted him to Luoyang.

The blooming of the potato is comparable to the peony

"The blooming of the potato is comparable to the peony" has many meanings. From an ornamental point of view, when the potato flowers bloomed, they looked like countless colorful little stars scattered in the fields. There were white, pink, purple, light yellow and other colors. The petals were slightly curled up like a playful little felt hat. Although the appearance of the potato flowers might not be as graceful and luxurious as peonies, they were also beautiful when they bloomed, with a unique flavor. In terms of value, peonies were mostly regarded as a symbol of prosperity, a pastime and luxury when people had enough food and clothing. In addition to ornamental value, potato flowers had the function of health preservation and life-saving, and raising all living beings. When faced with the threat of hunger, potato flowers could play a huge role. The blooming of potato flowers meant the birth of life of potato fruits. Therefore, from this perspective, potato flowers were better than peonies. In some areas, the potato flower also represented local characteristics and people's feelings for their hometown. The potato flower was a symbol of tenacious life on barren land. It was simple and unadorned, loved the rich, and didn't show off its moral character. This spiritual content also made the potato flower have a unique value in people's hearts, surpassing peony. The novel "Acanthus Flower Blossoms" is equally wonderful.
