Since ancient times, the Chinese people have loved orchids, cultivated orchids, chanted orchids, and painted orchids. The ancients had praised "seeing the leaves to seeing the flowers". People appreciate that orchids are made of grass and trees, do not compete with Qunfang, are not afraid of frost and snow, and perseverance and fortitude. "Zhilan is born in a deep valley, and he is not unfragrant." Orchids have always been regarded as a symbol of high purity and elegance, and they have been called "four gentlemen" together with plum blossoms, bamboo and chrysanthemums.

Orchid Poetry
"Confucius's Family Story Six Books" refers to: Confucius' students Xia and Zigong are both famous disciples of Confucius. Zi Xia likes to be together with his wise people, so his moral cultivation will improve; Zi Gong likes to get along with people who are not as talented as himself, so his moral cultivation will be lost day by day. What is the reason? So Confucius gave a series of metaphors to explain the influence of friendship and environment on character. Finally, he lived with kindness , such as entering the room of the Orchid, and he did not smell it for a long time . It can change a person and become an idiom. He also called Flan (Fran: and Bai as a pair, collective name: ) known as " the fragrance of the king " to this day.
