It takes 3,000 years to bloom, which is better than fighting. "

Therefore, the ancients often named peach blossoms as their residences, such as "Taohuawu", "Taohuapu" and "Taohuaan".

(5) Peach blossom symbolizes students and disciples. The spring composed of peach blossom and plum blossom is full of infinite vitality and has been praised as a student and disciple since ancient times.
