During the Western Han Dynasty, Lu Jia went to South Vietnam and found that Lingnan people loved to plant flowers, arrange flowers and wear flowers. Before and after the house, the halls and rooms were filled with flowers, and he praised the people here as "colorful flowers". Guangzhou in the Han Dynasty, with the rise of the maritime Silk Road trade, introduced a variety of overseas flowers. By the Tang Dynasty, the flowers in Guangzhou had become famous all over the country. The famous poet Meng Jiao once described the wonder of flowers and plants everywhere in Guangzhou in winter: "In winter, there are no homes and gardens everywhere." During this period, the cultivation of foreign flowers such as jasmine, henna and jasmine was very common overseas, and the flower market began to appear. At that time, the flower girl in Guangzhou wore all kinds of flowers with colored ropes for sale, which attracted Chinese and foreign tourists. In the mid-Qing Dynasty, Guangzhou had become the first "Winter jasmine market" in China, which was famous at home and abroad. Three days before New Year's Eve every year, a flower market is formed in Si Qian (now in front of Beijing Road Finance Department) in downtown Guangzhou. There are miles of streets here, crowded with people, and Guangzhou's reputation as a "flower city" is worthy of its name. Among domestic cities, this nickname and reputation is unique to Guangzhou. The flower market has lasted for more than 200 years.

"On New Year's Eve, the streets are full of flowers, and the streets are full of spring flowers. Red flowers are fresh, yellow flowers are big, and thousands of flowers are ugly. Grandma laughs, Dad is happy, and people are happy ... "This Guangzhou children's ballad" Flower Street "vividly sings the grand occasion of every household in Guangzhou visiting the Spring Festival flower market.
