In the spring of 1922, Lan Nong Hu 17, Tangdi Jia Shantou Village, Shaoxing, was found in the Eagle Rock (mountain name) of Dayubu Mountain (the northern end of Shangyu) at the junction of Huaiji Mountain and Siming Mountain in Zhejiang Province.

In 1922, Lan Nong Hu 70, from Jiatou Village, Shaoxing, was discovered in Dashibu Mountain, Shangyu, Zhejiang Province, and then brought to Shanghai for 800 silver yuan to be sold and cultivated by Yu Kongzhao. At that time, it caused a sensation in Shanghai. In the spring of 1923, there were only three seedlings left because the grass could not be planted and raised. Yu Kongzhao transferred the grass to Qin Cainan with 650 silver yuan. Another theory is that Shaoxing Lanhu Hu dug 70 to sell it to Shanghai boss Yu Zhixiang for 500 silver yuan. It may be that Shaoxing Lannong Hu 70 did not bring all the global lotus tripods dug up to Shanghai to sell to Yu Kongzhao, and he still had a few seedlings at home (this is also a common practice of Shaoxing Lannong), and then sold it to Yu Zhixiang for 500 silver yuan.

The global lotus tripod leaf posture is oblique, the exposed leaf pocket is deep, the foot shell wraps the petiole tightly, and the leaf tip is sharp and pure. Leaves 1-1.5 cm wide, 18-28 cm long, dark green in color, glossy, especially thick and hard. Leaf margin serrated sparsely and finely. Leaves tight edge, leaf shape is very similar to "green cloud" leaves, leaf veins are very thin, often twisted leaves appear, new buds purple-green, flower bracts are mercury red shell, tendons purplish red, there are fresh water green sand halo, outer three-petal short garden, root angle. Petal tight edge, petal meat is very thick, holding petal short garden (clam shell holding) small bangs tongue, red spot on the tongue is "U" shape, generally lotus petals are large garden tongue, but the global lotus tripod is small bangs tongue, this is a very unique place. The flower pole is emerald green, about 10 centimeters high. There is a purplish red halo in the green color (there are many rings with this color). This point has been controversial in the orchid world, some think that it is a colored flower, but others think that it is not a colored flower, but in Japan it is considered to be a colored lotus petal, which is the only lotus flower in the traditional variety. Global lotus tripod flowers are correct, medium-shaped flowers. The leaves are graceful and the flower stalks are high. The color and tongue petal are very distinctive. It is a treasure in the traditional varieties of Chunlan. In 1962, Premier Zhou Enlai received Mr. Kenzo Matsumura, a Japanese-Chinese friend who visited China in Hangzhou. Knowing that Mr. Kenzo Matsumura loved orchids, he gave a pot of lotus tripods in the Hangzhou garden to Mr. Kenzo Matsumura, which is a symbol of Sino-Japanese friendship. When Mr. Matsumura was dying in his later years, he repeatedly told his son, Mr. Songji, to raise the global lotus tripod well. In November 1978, Mr. Zhengzhi Matsumura, 79 years old, gave back this pot of Miao, the descendant of the Global Lotus Ding, to the China Shaoxing Orchid Association, which became a story in the orchid world. Global Lotus Ding has won many awards in domestic orchid exhibitions. At the 19th China Orchid Expo held in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, the Global Lotus Ding presented by Mr. Zhang Fushun in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province won the gold medal again.

There is also controversy about the orchid world of the global lotus tripod. It is mentioned that the flowers of the global lotus tripod are green and tender in Japan's "Lanhua Spectrum", China's "Lan Hui Xiao Shi" and Shen Yuanru's "Orchid". The author also planted a global lotus tripod with a pot of green flowers, the flower buds and leaf buds are emerald green, especially there are basically no red tendons on the flower buds. Shanghai Li Xintian Lanyou also has a global lotus tripod with green flowers, which has nothing to do with Yin and Yang, but blossoms every year. But now the orchid books all write her as green with purplish red, thinking that the color is muddy, and now most of the flowers in the global lotus tripod are also the so-called amber with purplish red in green. What causes the global lotus tripod of two different colors, whether it is the same flower or two different varieties of flowers remains to be further studied by the majority of orchid friends. In recent years, there has been a global lotus tripod in the global lotus tripod, which is called "the first emperor" and "Guanggong". It is impossible to know whether it is a budding variety or a high-tech product.
