Features: The book "Exploring the Origin of Chinese Orchid Culture" was published on the day when orchids bloom, and I have many reflections. The culture of Chinese orchids, with its strong silver lineage, is deeply rooted in the land of China—its fragrance has been blowing from ancient times, connecting the north and the south, east and west. The publication of "Exploring the Origin" involved much effort with friends from all over the southern and northern regions, as well as from the Jiangnan and Shu regions. I have never met any of them in person, but the theme of "orchid culture" brought us emotionally together, and the fragrance of "the king's scent" made our spirits connect. I truly don't know if there are any other flowers or trees in the world that can emit such a captivating and dreamlike charm as the orchid.
