The preservation of orchids caused by four "man-made disasters" in history

1. The "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement" ("Gengshen Rebellion") broke out in 1851: in 1860, the Qing army suppressed the Taiping army in southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which led to the existence of Lanhui's famous products, and a large number of precious orchids were destroyed by the war. In addition, this period also led to the loss of many precious Quran spectra due to burning.

2. The Japanese army invaded Jiangnan from the late 1930s to the early 1940s: during this period, the Japanese Orchid Ohara and others came to China many times and carried away hundreds of precious orchids. At that time, Junjiro Ohara opened a "Jinghua Hall" shop in Tokyo, Japan, which specializes in selling Chinese literary games and bluegrass. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, some of the orchids spread to Japan were destroyed by the war, some were retained, and began to return to the mainland in the 1980s, which objectively promoted the exchange and preservation of national orchids. (note: Junjiro Ohara occupies a very important position in the orchid circle of Japan. His book Lanhua Spectrum has a far-reaching influence, and he is also familiar with the literary giant Lu Xun. )

3. The "Cultural Revolution" that began in the 1960s: during this period, flower cultivation was known as Fengzixiu, Shanghai Botanical Garden, Hangzhou Orchid Room, Beijing Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden, Suzhou Canglang Pavilion Orchid Room and Beijing Zhongshan Park Orchid Room and other units, as well as most of the orchids of famous orchids such as Shen Yuanru, King of Orchid in the south of the Yangtze River, were destroyed or stolen. At this time, although it objectively led to the flow of some valuable orchids to the folk, many of them were robbed because of the failure of personal planting and breeding technology.

4. The orchid-seeking movement that began in the 1980s to the end of the century: during this period, driven by economic interests, a large number of workers became a new force of Cailan. In the traditional orchid-producing areas, people searched everywhere, and the wild orchid resources were destroyed and almost exhausted. (end)
