In traditional Chinese culture, chrysanthemums have two meanings: noble character and auspicious longevity. The connotation of chrysanthemums is quite different from that in foreign countries.
Moreover, chrysanthemums signify "remembrance" and can be used to express one's怀念 for someone. Therefore, during Qingming Festival, it is common to offer chrysanthemums when visiting graves.
There are two common colors of chrysanthemums during Qingming Festival: yellow and white. Compared with other colors, the color of chrysanthemums is more low-key. In our country's customs, cold and light colors that are not bright are generally used for funerals, so chrysanthemums are also widely used in funerals.
Since chrysanthemums have noble sentiments, they were used to praise gentlemen in ancient times. Considering its meaning, planting chrysanthemums around the graves of one's family is a way to miss one's family, so it is acceptable to plant chrysanthemums in front of one's family graves.

Chrysanthemum Worship in China Is Crowned with "Western Learning Spreading to the East"
Some people believe that using chrysanthemums for worship in our country is a behavior of Western learning spreading to the East. This is because we often see a large number of chrysanthemums in Western-style funerals. However, the trend of traditional Chinese worship turning to environmental worship is irreversible. Flower worship is advocated and suitable for the development of the times.
As one of the traditional famous flowers in China and one of the Four Gentlemen, chrysanthemums symbolize longevity. Chrysanthemum paintings are often sent by literati to friends as a blessing for health and longevity.
The color of flowers has a certain physiological and psychological effect on people, carrying certain symbolic meanings of emotions. The main color of flowers for worship is light, usually dominated by yellow chrysanthemums, accompanied by white flowers and a small amount of purple flowers for decoration. The common yellow and white chrysanthemums have a low-key tone, thus, chrysanthemums are widely used in funerals.
The argument of Western learning spreading to the East seems unfounded. Because in China, yellow represents sunshine, brightness, light, magnificence, dignity, solemnity, and brilliance.
In Egypt, yellow represents evil and misfortune. In Japan, it signifies sadness and mourning. Yellow chrysanthemums represent the noble character of gentlemen, purple chrysanthemums represent passionate life, and white chrysanthemums represent respect for the deceased. It is appropriate for us to use chrysanthemums to mourn our respected ancestors and revolutionary martyrs.
