There is probably no better symbol of spring than flowers. The peach blossom (桃花) is one of those seasonal flowers. It usually blooms (开花) in March and April. Pinggu district in Beijing, Nanhui county in Shanghai and Longquan Mountain in Chengdu are all good places to enjoy the beautiful peach blossoms. But if they are not special enough for you, you may go to Nyingchi (林芝) in Tibet. There you can see a sea of pink at the foot of snow-covered mountains under a blue sky.
The peach blossom, with its beauty, has won the hearts of visitors as well as many Chinese poets and writers. From China’s first book of poetry, the Classic of Poetry (《诗经》), to the many poems of the Tang Dynasty, the peach blossom is usually connected to beautiful young ladies. As one famous poem goes, “In this house on this day last year a pink face vied；In beauty with the pink peach blossom side by side (去年今日此门中，人面桃花相映红).” The peach blossom makes people think of the flush (红晕) on a shy woman’s face.
Because of this, the peach blossom is connected to romance in China. Chinese people often say “to have peach blossom luck”. It means being lucky in love. And if your eyes are in the shape of peach petals(花瓣), you have a pair of taohuayan(桃花眼). And you probably have peach blossom luck.
