“花” (huā) is the Chinese word for “flower.” Flowers are the reproductive structures of flowering plants, known as angiosperms. They come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, and play a crucial role in the plant's life cycle by facilitating reproduction through pollination. In many cultures, including Chinese culture, flowers symbolize beauty, love, and nature. Different flowers, such as 梅花 (plum blossom) and 牡丹 (peony), hold specific meanings and are often used in art, literature, and festivals. Flowers are also popular in gardening and decoration, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of homes and public spaces.
