In China, flowers are always associated with culture; they are even linked to literature and art. When it comes to chrysanthemums, people first think of the old saying from thousands of years ago: "The chrysanthemum has yellow flowers." Then they recall the natural and leisurely scene from "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountain." As for "The curtain rolls with the west wind, people thinner than the yellow chrysanthemum," it reflects the sentiments of gentlewomen, a timeless masterpiece.
