Yangping Tribute Chrysanthemum

Yangping Tribute Chrysanthemum

　　The Songcun Village established the Yangping Tribute Chrysanthemum Professional Cooperative and applied to register the brands “Songcun Grapes” and “Yangping Tribute Chrysanthemum.” At the same time, it vigorously promoted the development of “pollution-free” production bases and standardized cultivation techniques. By adopting the “Party branch + professional cooperative + farmers” model to organize the production, management, and sales of grapes and tribute chrysanthemums, it has effectively driven the development of these two specialty industries, significantly boosting the village’s economy and farmers’ incomes.

　　Huangshan Tribute Chrysanthemum, also known as “Tribute Chrysanthemum” or “Huizhou Tribute Chrysanthemum,” is also called Huizhou Chrysanthemum. Along with Hangzhou Chrysanthemum and Chuzhou Chrysanthemum, it is ranked among China’s Four Famous Chrysanthemums. In ancient times, it was offered as a tribute to the emperor, hence the name “Tribute Chrysanthemum.” It is widely produced across Huangshan City in Anhui Province, mainly in the area between the renowned Huangshan Scenic Area and the Qingliang Peak National Nature Reserve.
