From a cultural point of view, hibiscus was an agricultural flower in ancient times. It was called the "Shun Flower" and the "Sun Flower". It bloomed in early summer and was called the "Sun Flower". Its flowering period lasted until late autumn. In ancient poetry, there were very few poems about white hibiscus in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It might be related to the aesthetics of the time. From the Yuan Dynasty onwards, there were more and more related poems. For example, Bai Juyi once wrote a poem about white hibiscus. When he saw white hibiscus flowers blooming in autumn, he thought of folk tales teasing local officials. At the same time, because of his surname Bai, poor family background, bumpy career, honesty, and self-discipline, he loved white flowers. When he saw white hibiscus, he kept turning back. There was also the white hibiscus written by Yuan Liu Shen, which not only had overlapping petals but also bloomed at night. He liked the whiteness of the moonlight breeze in the early morning more than the red color with powder. The white hibiscus described by Shu Di at the end of Yuan and the beginning of Ming was elegant and pure, and it opened to the autumn light.
