The Origin and Development of National Orchid

Today, the so-called Chinese orchid, referred to as Guolan, was also called Lanhui in ancient times. Chinese people watch and cultivate orchids much earlier than western orchids. As early as 2400 years ago in the Spring and Autumn period, Confucius, the forerunner of Chinese culture, said: Zhi Lansheng secluded valley, not unmanned but not fragrant, the gentleman practice morality, do not change the festival for the sake of poverty. He also called the orchid the incense of the king, which is enough to prove the position of Chinese orchids in history and culture.

The Song Dynasty was the heyday of Chinese art and orchid history, and there were many books and descriptions about orchid art. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, Lan Yi entered a period of prosperity. With the continuous increase of orchid varieties and increasingly rich cultivation experience, orchid cultivation has become a public ornamental.

Yilan originated in China and spread to Japan and Korea. Nowadays, Japan is very interested in Chinese orchids, and its historical origin begins in China. Nowadays, Japanese orchid has formed its own system and developed into a base known as Toyo orchid. As for North Korea, Yilan has also become something admired by the Korean people, and makes orchids become elegant flowers displayed in rooms, apartments and lobbies. What is even more commendable is that they give orchids as a high-end gift.

Man is the soul of all things. Orchid is the beauty of all flowers. May Lanhui naturally enter the world of people's hearts and carry forward the traditional quintessence of the Chinese nation, and make common progress.
