Tao Yuanming’s *Peach Blossom Spring* linked Peach Blossom Red to an ideal utopia. Pink blossom groves became the most romantic imagined sanctuary for seclusion in Chinese hearts.

Peach blossom culture flourished in the Tang Dynasty. Citizens flocked outside Chang’an to admire blooming peach trees each spring, and Peach Blossom Red ruqun became standard spring attire for Tang ladies.
