Shaoxing: The fragrance of osmanthus flowers wafts through the ancient city.

Osmanthus trees are evergreen, with dense branches and leaves. They bloom in autumn, filling the air with their sweet fragrance. They are often described as "the most fragrant flower of autumn". Osmanthus trees are commonly used in gardens, often as landscape trees. They can be planted alone, in pairs, or in groups. In Chinese classical gardens, osmanthus trees are often paired with buildings, mountains, and rocks, and are planted near pavilions, terraces, towers, and attics. Old-style gardens often use paired planting, which is called "double osmanthus in the courtyard" or "double osmanthus fragrance". Planting osmanthus trees around houses or in front of windows can create a "golden wind and fragrance" effect. In schools, osmanthus trees are planted in large quantities to symbolize "picking laurels in the moon palace". Flower language: Chinese people regard osmanthus as a symbol of "nobility", "beauty", "auspiciousness", "friendship", "loyalty", "integrity", "fairy friend", "fairy guest"; osmanthus branches symbolize "outstanding people" and "official career"; In Europe and America, osmanthus branches symbolize "glory" and "honor".
