Appreciating chrysanthemum flowers


The Chongyang Festival takes place when chrysanthemums are in full bloom. The chrysanthemum is regarded as a symbol of longevity by the Chinese people because it can blossom in late fall when temperatures are dropping and most other flowers have already lost their petals. Since the Three Kingdoms period (220-280), and the Wei and Jin dynasties (220-420), it has become fashionable to drink wine, appreciate chrysanthemums and compose poems on the Chongyang Festival.
