The development history of artificial flowers

　Artificial flowers , also known as artificial flowers, silk flowers, and silk flowers, artificial flowers can not only maintain their freshness for a long time, but also can be used according to seasons and needs: you can arrange them in spring, cool in summer, and golden in autumn to represent harvest. Fire red brings warmth; roses can be used to express love at any time, and peonies can be picked anywhere to convey blessings. The lifelike appearance, various shapes, longer appreciation period and richer modeling methods are the strong reasons why people love artificial flowers.
Looking back at history, artificial flowers have a history of at least 1,300 years in my country. It is said that Yang Guifei, the favorite concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, had a scar on her left temple. But in winter, the flowers withered. An ingenious maid made fake flowers out of ribbed silk and silk and presented them to Concubine Yang Gui. Later, this "headdress flower" spread to the people and gradually developed into a unique handicraft "simulation flower".
In the Qing Dynasty, silk flowers made by famous actors in Beijing won awards at the Panama International Exposition. Now the species has grown from dozens to more than 2,000, including drama flowers, flower strips, flower baskets, and bonsai. Since Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Beijing has developed into a silk flower production center, so silk flowers are also called "Jinghuaer". The famous Flower Market Street in Beijing is named after the distribution center for processing "Jinghuaer".
In our country, artificial flowers have become a common product. No matter the opening ceremony, wedding banquet, workplace or home environment, there are artificial flowers.
