Orchids have been cultivated and cherished in China over a long period of time. Ancient scholars loved them rnore than any other flower , and took greater care of them than they did for any other flower. During the Song Dynasty , Manual on Jinzhang Orchid , the first monograph on orchids in China and the world , appeared. From then on , more and more such manuals were written , reaching their climax in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. These manuals mainly deal with orchid breeds and their shapes , the cultivation technique , and related literature and stories. They reflect the or- chid cultivation and the change of breed resource in ancient China , and hence are of great value in the history of Chinese botany and horticulture.
