| Summary: | The traditional Chinese “Twelve Flora” refer to the images of twelve flower gods corresponding to the twelve months of the Chinese lunar calendar. They are usually composed of celebrities in Chinese history and are the subject matter of traditional Chinese paintings, closely related to traditional flower and festival cultures.

While examining the visual images, it uses the method of mutual verification of texts to sort out how the image of the Twelve Flora of the Qing Dynasty was initially formed and formed a relatively fixed creative mode. |
