The cultivation of Chinese cymbidiums has a long history in China
dating back to more than a thousand years ago. Chinese cymbidiums
are commonly known as 'Lan' (兰) or 'Guo Lan' (国兰) in
China.Lan has a special appeal and meaning to the Chinese as it
symbolizes integrity, modesty and nobility. Confucius praised Lan
as the 'Gentleman of Noble Virtue' (君子之风) and 'King of
Fragrance' (王者之香). The love and appreciation for and
growing of orchids have, in fact, become an integral part of
Chinese culture known as the 'Lan Culture'.The book starts with the
history of Lan and its association with Chinese culture and
traditional customs, literature and the arts. This is followed by a
description of the biology of Lan and cultivation practices of past
and present. Finally, the prospects and future of Lan are presented
and discussed.
