Peonies: what do they symbolize and how to arrange them according to feng shui?
The Eastern teachings of Feng Shui offer their vision of the world in accordance with natural harmony. A peony is often used in its symbolism, but few people know what the meaning of the flower is and how to use it correctly to their advantage.

There is something incredibly sensual and healing about this unique flower. Peonies have sincere and open energy, unchanging purity and healing power. This plant symbolizes love, marriage, so its images can often be found in the bedroom of newlyweds. Although the classical feng shui school does not recommend depicting these colors in an elderly couple's room.
The meaning of this symbol is not only love, but also wealth and prosperity. It is the national flower of China, where it is known as the "flower of wealth and honor." It means affection, feminine beauty and loving feelings of youth. Peonies are often referenced in romantic Chinese poetry and literature and are used as the main motifs in decorative arts and can be found on porcelain and tapestries. In Feng Shui, the plant is used to attract romance, wealth, and good luck.
During the Chinese Tang Dynasty, peonies became part of Yang Gui Fei's dowry. This beauty lavishly decorated her bedroom with flowers, and her garden was completely planted with them. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why she became the most beloved concubine of the emperor out of a thousand other girls.
