DESCRIPTION:

National Peach Blossom Day has significant connotations in Chinese mythology.

An ancient Chinese parable entitled "The Peach Blossom Spring," also known as "The Legend of Shangri-La," tells of escape from political unrest into a utopia of peace at the end of a river shrouded in peach blossoms. The parable is likely the source of James Hilton's 1933 novel "Lost Horizon," which brought the mythical Shangri-la into global awareness.

In this utopia, told through the journey of a lone fisherman navigating the flower-laden river, a valley hidden by the peach blossoms emerges, introducing him to a civilization absent of hate, war, pettiness, prejudice, lying, despair, and scorn. It is a world where man and beast live in peace and harmony, and all is perfect. Perfection is too much for the man. Failing to appreciate it, he leaves and returns to the real world. But he is quickly disillusioned and yearns for what he had. Having experienced paradise, he is horrified by reality. Vainly he attempts to return to his perfect place, Shangri-La, never to find it again.

Peach blossoms symbolize an ideal society where personal differences, illustrated in the divisions caused by politics, abate, and people work together rather than against each other.
