Flower Language Two: Resilience

PART 03 Ancient Applications of Gardenias
Gardenia was the most widely used yellow dye before the Qin and Han dynasties. The fruit of the gardenia contains gardenia yellow pigment and crocin, among other substances. The "Han Officialdom" records: "The dye garden produces gardenia and madder, which are used to dye the imperial robes." This indicates that gardenias were used to dye the highest-quality clothing at the time, and the yellow dye in the textiles unearthed from the Han Ma Wang Dui tombs was obtained from gardenias.
Because of its importance, Sima Qian recorded in "Records of the Grand Historian. The Treatise on Commerce and Agriculture": "A thousand mu of gardenia and madder, a thousand plots of ginger and scallions; these people are all equal to a thousand households."
