Broadly speaking, "Gesanghua" is probably synonymous with wild flowers with the strongest vitality on the plateau, while botanically speaking, Aster in Compositae and Cuiju, a common cultivated plant from Lhasa to Changdu, are in line with the characteristics of Gesanghua. In addition, in Tibetan areas, there is another saying that plants such as ebony, Euphorbia fischeriana, rhododendron alpine and Saussurea involucrata are called Gesanghua.
Many people regard cosmos as Gesang flower, which has another name in Tibetan areas, called "Zhang Daren Flower". Searching for pictures of "Gesanghua" on the Internet, the universe of "Zhang Daren Flower" is also displayed more. Although cosmos is a plant representing Gesanghua in many film and television works similar to Eight Petals Gesanghua, or in a large number of songs in periodicals and magazines in Tibet, Lhasa calls this flower "Zhang Daren Flower" because it was brought to Lhasa by Zhang, the minister stationed in Tibet in the late Qing Dynasty.
It is said that in 1906, the Qing court appointed Zhang as the deputy commander-in-chief and went to Tibet to handle affairs as an envoy to Tibet to save the crisis of unreasonable government decrees. 1906 10 month, Zhang entered Tibet. I brought all kinds of flowers when I entered Tibet. After the trial planting, other flowers will not grow. Only one flower grows in the shape of "eight petals" and is cold-resistant. The petals are beautiful, the colors are different, the fragrance is like sunflower, and the fruit is like sunflower seeds.
For a time, every household in Lhasa rushed to sow. This kind of flower has a strong vitality. Since it set foot on this vast land, it has spread rapidly to all parts of Tibet. However, no one knows the name of this flower, except that it was brought into Tibet by Zhang, the minister stationed in Tibet, hence the name "Zhang Daren". At that time, few people in Tibet knew Chinese, but many Tibetans could speak the word "Zhang Daren". Many Tibetan elderly people who can't speak Chinese can also fluently say the three Chinese characters "Zhang Daren" when talking about this flower. Therefore, since the introduction of species into China, cosmos is definitely not a Gesang flower in the strict sense.
