Magnolia, also known as Magnolia, Magnolia (Magnolia), Magnolia, Mubi, Yutangchun, etc. , originated in central China, has been loved by people since ancient times.

In the Tang Dynasty, people called Magnolia grandiflora, Begonia, Peony and Osmanthus fragrans "Jade Hall of Wealth", which was a symbol of good fortune and harmony, and was planted in royal palaces, gardens, palaces and temples.

China has a long history of planting magnolias. In Lisao, the poet Qu Yuan famously said, "Mulan is in the morning and the night is in the evening." Magnolia in the poem is magnolia. It can be seen that Magnolia grandiflora was widely planted in China 2500 years ago. Scholars of all ages have left many poems praising Magnolia, such as: "Graceful new makeup, beautiful face, moths surrounded by snow"; "A piece of evening dress and new makeup, a bunch of Tingting Jade Tang Chun"; "Rhyme friends know that they look at innocent skirts through curtains"; "Famous flowers move in the deep valley, Sensen Wang Shumei Qingyi" and so on.

There are hundreds or even thousands of years-old ancient magnolias in many places in China, the most famous of which are two Tang Dynasty purple magnolias in the "Double Magnolia Hall" in Yulan Village, Ganquan Township, Tianshui City, Gansu Province, also known as "Mulan". These two strains of magnolia purpurea are precious "cinnabar magnolia" with a history of 1300 years. The height of the two trees is about 25 meters, and the trunk circumference is 6.8 meters and 6 meters respectively.

Mr. Qi Baishi, the late famous Chinese painting master in China, once painted the magnolia of these two magnolia trees and inscribed the plaque of "Double Magnolia Hall", which added cultural color to these two precious magnolia trees.

In addition, there are three magnolia trees in the Song Dynasty in Yanfu Taoist Temple on the outskirts of Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, one of which is "Magnolia King", with a dry week of 3.5 meters; Magnolia in Song Dynasty in Zijin South of Dongting Mountain in Taihu Lake, Jiangsu Province, Magnolia in Ming Dynasty in Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue and Magnolia in Qixian Temple in Guling, Lushan Mountain, Jiangxi Province are all treasures of magnolia trees in China.
