At present, more than 100 countries in the world have established their own national flowers, and China is the only big country that has not yet established a national flower, which is not conducive to showing the world the profound charm of China flower culture. Li Liushen, deputy to the National People's Congress and mayor of Luoyang, submitted a proposal this time, calling on the National People's Congress to pass the law as soon as possible to make peony the national flower of our country.
Li Liushen said that the determination of the national flower can inspire the national spirit and establish national enterprise and pride; Can inspire people to green the motherland and build beautiful mountains and rivers; It can also promote the development of China's flower industry and adjust the agricultural industrial structure.
Li Liushen believes that peony cultivation has a long history and strong adaptability, occupying a leading position in the world; The posture and color characteristics of flowers can reflect the excellent tradition and personality characteristics of the Chinese nation; It has a wide range of uses, is deeply loved by the broad masses of people, and has high social, environmental and economic benefits. It is most suitable to be recognized as the national flower.
"Peony is a world-famous flower originated in China, and its cultivation history is over 1500 years. Eight wild species are all in China. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, peony has been known as' national beauty and fragrance' and' flower king'. In the Tang and Qing dynasties, it was identified as the national flower, which had a far-reaching influence among the people. Peony has a high degree of industrialization in China's national flower, and the national cultivation area has reached more than 200,000 mu, which plays an important role in the adjustment of agricultural structure and the increase of farmers' income. " Li Liushen said.
At present, no country in the world takes peony as its national flower. As a national flower, peony can show its uniqueness and uniqueness and be remembered by the world. Therefore, Li Liushen suggested that the national flower department should organize a selection activity as soon as possible, and then submit it to the National People's Congress for confirmation, so as to clarify the status of peony as the national flower in legal form.
Li Liushen also suggested that quality and technical supervision departments, industrial and commercial departments and customs departments should strengthen the protection of peony varieties, technologies and trademarks, and rely on the China Flower Association and other departments to strengthen the breeding of new peony varieties, research on new technologies and the introduction and development of peony variety resources in China.
