The Tang and Song Dynasties was a key stage in the formation of peony viewing customs and Chinese peony culture,which had an important impact on later generations.Be-fore the Tang Dynasty,peony,as a medicine rather than an ornamental plant,had not yet been cultivated on a large scale.In the Tang Dynasty,due to the guidance of the upper aris-tocracy,the trend of viewing peonies rose in the society.The people of the Tang Dynasty in-itially mastered relatively reliable cultivation techniques and formed the peony cultivation in-dustry centering on Chang'an.After the Middle Tang Dynasty,peony gradually appeared in art works.In the Song Dynasty,Luoyang formed a complete peony cultivation industry chain,and the peony cultivation technology was further mature and improved.At the same time,the peony has also been imaged and given the meaning of wealth and rank.As a kind of decoration,it widely appears in various scenes of peoples daily life.The popularity of peony is the manifestation of the secular and civilian society after the Song Dynasty.
