Ouyang Xiu (1034) Records of Luoyang Peony |
The T'ING RED has single petals and deep red flowers. It comes from Ch'ing province, and is also called CH'ING PROVINCE RED. In the past the p'u-yeh officer Chang Ch'i-hsien had a residence in the Hsien-hsiang (worthy ministers) district of the Western Capital (Loyang). He transported this species by camel-back from Ch'ing province. Thereafter it spread throughout the Lo area. Its color is like the stiff t'ing waistband and so it is called the T'ING RED. |
