an important plant in China I’d like to talk about the orchid. They are very elegant and classy, which can make me feel relaxed every time I see them. In Chinese culture, the orchid are the symbols of gentlemen. This is originated from a very famous poet across China, QUYUAN. There is a traditional festival called Dragon Boat Festival in China. This festival is to commemorate the poet QUYUAN. He is a poet and minister who lived during the warring states period of ancient China. He is very talented and make great contributions to Chinese literature. And he poetry is also very famous, like LISAO. There is a verse in LISAO, 纫秋兰以为佩. In this verse, the gentlemen have been likened as the orchid. After that, the orchid have become the symbols of noble and pure in Chinese culture. Now, LISAO often appears in the questions of college entrance examination.
