Peony planting in Pengzhou began in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than one thousand years. Pengzhou peony has its own characteristics. It has many big petals, and its face can be full of size. It is very popular with people because of its beautiful fragrance. Lu You, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, said in his "Tianpeng peony Genealogy": "peony is the first in Zhongzhou, Luoyang is the first, and Tianpeng is the first in Shu.". Du Fu came to see the peony in Tianpeng, but he was stopped by the water in the middle of the journey, so he had to go back and leave the poem "watching peony in Tianpeng blocking the water".

The folk custom of appreciating flowers has been very popular since the Tang Dynasty. When the flowers bloom in spring, the peony garden on Danjing mountain and the ancient flower village at the foot of niuxin mountain are full of tourists, who gather to compete with each other and climb to the top of the mountain. Especially in Huajie (today's Lichun town) in the western suburb of Zhoucheng, a peony appreciation meeting is held every year during the Qingming Festival, where peony flowers are displayed for appreciation. The venue was decorated with lights, singing and dancing.

Three peony fairs

Today, there are three large-scale peony fairs in China:

（1） Luoyang Peony Fair

Ouyang Xiu, a poet of the Song Dynasty, wrote in Luoyang Peony record: "Luoyang is the most suitable place for local flowers, especially peony.". This sentence shows that Luoyang's "earth vein" makes peony unique.

Luoyang is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, the west of the Central Plains and the east end of the Loess Plateau. The climate here is mild and the soil is fertile, which is very suitable for peony cultivation. As early as the Sui Dynasty, a large number of peonies were planted in Xiyuan, a royal garden.

Luoyang is an ancient city with a long reputation. More than ten dynasties established their capitals here, and it is known as the ancient capital of nine dynasties. Luoyang Peony began in Sui Dynasty, rose in Tang Dynasty, flourished in Song Dynasty, and continues to this day. Luoyang peony is famous for its variety and colorful. Therefore, there is a famous saying that "Luoyang peony is the best in the world".

Today's Peony Fair has greatly exceeded the previous dynasties in form and content.

Luoyang Peony plants all over the city's streets, parks, factories and mines, institutions, schools, hotels, especially the blooming peony in the flower belt on both sides of Zhongzhou Avenue, which makes Chinese and foreign guests feel the rich atmosphere of "Flower City" as soon as they enter Luoyang.

The main scenic spots are "Wangcheng Park", "Xiyuan Park", "Guose peony Park", "Baima Temple", "Baiyuan" and so on.

There are 2 million ornamental peonies and 460 varieties in the city, including red, yellow, green, purple, pink, white, black and blue. On display here are not only the old varieties from Luoyang, but also the newly bred varieties; not only the domestic rare varieties from Sichuan, Gansu, Anhui and other places, but also the foreign varieties from Japan and other places; in addition, there are some wild peony varieties originated in China and so on.

（2） Heze Peony Fair

Heze is located in the South Bank of the lower Yellow River and the west of Qilu plain, adjacent to shuipoliang mountain.
