The magnolia is a much loved flower in China. Over the centuries varieties have been selectively bred for early flowering, bloom size and color. An early flowering variety is called 欢春花 huān chūn huā ‘the flower that welcomes the Spring’. Legend has it that at one time only the Emperor himself and his closest favorites were allowed to grow the shrub.
Like the peony it symbolizes female beauty and so with a butterfly symbolizes a young mans quest for love. Magnolias are also known as 玉兰花 yù lán huā'jade orchid flower' and together with a crab apple 海棠 hǎi táng and peony give 玉堂富贵 yù táng fù guì meaning a wish for wealth and honor as ‘Jade Hall’ (yutang) was the academy of scholars. In a painting with bees a magnolia gives the meaning of self-esteem. The bark of the plant is used in traditional medicine.
The name 木兰 Mù lán is most associated with a warrior-maiden who took to the military to save her father from forced service some time in the Period of Disunity; she served many years and rose to a high rank and the whole time her true gender went undiscovered. The story was made into a successful Disney animated film 'Mulan ➚'.
