“ When autumn comes
on Double Ninth Festival,
my flower [the chrysanthemum] will bloom and
all others perish.
When the sky-reaching fragrance
[of the chrysanthemum]
permeates Chang'an,
the whole city will be clothed
in golden armour.”

The title of the movie is taken from the last
line of a Tang dynasty poem attributed to
the rebel leader Huang Chao, "On the
Chrysanthemum, after failing the Imperial
Examination" (不第後賦菊/不第后赋菊) or simply
"Chrysanthemum"

From the director of Hero and House of Flying Daggers, Chow Yun Fat and Gong Li in Curse of the Golden Flower, a film by Zhang Yimou, 2006.
