Talk:Flowers of the Four Seasons

History
This article started as 4 famous flowers of China, which was poorly titled, written, and sourced, and thus deleted. Since then, i added this articles content as an addendum to Four Gentlemen, where it was removed as merely related. i have recreated it with a common title from numerous sources, and added more academic sources for the phrase. I believe that this artistic theme is highly notable in traditional chinese culture, but has a skimpier presence on the web, for the obvious reason that the Net is biased towards recent digital work in English. I would ask that anyone doubting its notability try to show it has no sources in printed material. If there are no scholarly printed works on the subject in Chinese, then its not notable, but i am absolutely sure there are numerous ones not translated to english and placed on the net.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:43, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

似乎这里存在什么误会.
Five flowers: peony will be the main national flower with orchid (spring), lotus flower (summer), chrysanthemum (autumn) and plum (winter) as China's four seasonal flowers. 这句意思是，牡丹是四季之外的“主国花”（the main national flower），并不是取代兰花（the spring national flower）. 顺带一提，这个5国花提案没通过，中国暂时还没有国花. -- 林卯  talk?  08:59, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
