    Abstract

    An important issue in Chinese Studies over recent years that has attracted the attention of both historians and political analysts is the question as to whether a unified Chinese national identity actually exits. This paper proposes to shed some light on the issue from an unusual perspective: Chinese attitudes to certain plants and flowers as cultural symbols.
