New Year is coming，The lively Spring Festival is getting closer。The Spring Festival is the footsteps to go home in a hurry，Is the parents' expectations for children，It is a kind of happiness permeated in my heart。What is the best representing Guangdong year? What can the Cantonese feel & ldquo; what is the taste of the year & rdquo;。

"Journal of Social Sciences of China": What is the most distinctive and representative of Guangdong in Guangdong?

Liu Zhiwen: In Guangdong, or more precisely, it is the annual customs of the Guangzhou region，Most feature、Most representative、What can highlight Guangzhou's natural and humanistic characteristics is & ldquo; flower & rdquo;。 The Spring Festival is on the occasion of winter and spring，At this time，Guangzhou's climate is Bet365 app download very suitable for flowers and plants，The flowering period is almost a month earlier than the north，plus the long -term formed here、Unique cultivation method，Not only has flowers blooming all year round，Many flowers that adapt to climate cultivation during the Spring Festival，This has formed a unique humanistic landscape & mdash; & mdash;。Now there are all parts of the flower market，But talk about Hua Shi，Also depends on Guangzhou。

The specific time of the origin of Guangzhou flower market is difficult to trace back，But at least during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has flourished，The Qianlong period was quite prosperous。The traditional flower market in Guangzhou was first formed in Fangcun，The flower farmers there are mainly selling flowers to the area of ​​Xiguan。After the 1960s and 1970s，Guangzhou's flower market is more concentrated。With the changes of the times and the location of the flower market，Modern flower market is different from the traditional flower bet365 best casino games market，But what does not change is everyone's passion for flowers。

There is a saying in Guangzhou，& ldquo;，First -handed and one -handed flower & rdquo;。I think，Flowers are a personality of Guangzhou people，To a certain extent, the cultural literacy of Guangzhou people，It is a manifestation of Guangzhou culture。The space where people live in Guangzhou are relatively small，The living environment is relatively simple，But you must decorate the Spring Festival with flowers。

"Journal of Chinese Social Sciences": What is the most representative of Guangzhou flowers?

Liu Zhiwen: Answer this question，First of all, talk about the annual customs of Guangdong about oranges。East Guangdong、Chaoshan area，During the Spring Festival, there are the same must -see gifts & mdash; & mdash; orange。Orange in Cantonese is similar to & ldquo; Ji & rdquo;，New Year's Day Give Orange & LDQUO;。When visiting relatives and friends in the New Year，Visitors must bring four oranges，The owner often gives back four bet365 Play online games oranges when he leaves。

Residents of Guangfu area usually use potted kumquats as gifts to visit friends。But starting from the first year，These potted kumquats will no longer be given as gifts，Instead, it is decorated in the more prominent position of the living room，or to worship ancestors、God。From this，Kumquat becomes a special flower，Become a representative of the Spring Festival。Kumquat is unique to Guangfu area，Now out of Guangdong、Towards the whole country，Appears in the Great Hall of the People。Place of Chinese in the world，All have similar customs。

Kumquat is now called & ldquo; Nian Nian Orange & RDQUO;，We are going to apply to the country to apply & ldquo; non -heritage & rdquo; and national geographical logo products，If the declaration is smooth，Nian Orange may become the cultural symbol of the Spring Festival，Carrying a wish、A expectation、A culture，not only a simple flower。In the overseas Chinese world，Especially overseas Guangfu people，Bet365 lotto review Keep the tradition of kumquats in the Spring Festival。This tradition of contacting since childhood has melted into the blood，Can't give up。Seeing flowers、See kumquat，They will think of the Spring Festival、Think of hometown、Think of the motherland。

As far as I know，​​Many foreigners want to go to Guangzhou during the Spring Festival to experience the flower market。But the Guangzhou Flower Market started from the 28th of the New Year to the end of the 30th year of the New Year，Many tourists who come here cannot appreciate the style of the flower market。​​other，Potted kumquats were abandoned in the seventh day。This is a great waste，Should be recycled。
