Elixir of Life



Known as chu, the chrysanthemum was believed to have great medicinal powers capable of promoting long life. The dew gathered from its petals was treated as an elixir which could preserve and restore vitality.

Among all the flowers, Chinese scholars single out four flowers to be 'the four noblest' or 'the four exemplary ones.' They are the plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum. All are symbols of nobility and were considered by the educated elite, who knew how to write, as the four most favored flowers.

In the Asian culture, peach is also associated with long life, immortality and regarded as the divine fruit of gods.
