The Flowers (Chinese: 花儿乐队; pinyin: Huār Yuèduì) was a Chinese rock band formed in Beijing in 1998. The original lineup consisted of lead vocalist and guitarist Da Zhang Wei (张伟; Zhāng Wěi), bass guitarist Guo Yang (郭阳; Guō Yáng), and drummer Wang Wenbo (王文博; Wáng Wénbó). In 2001, guitarist Shi Xingyu (石醒宇; Shí Xǐngyǔ) joined the band. Over their career, The Flowers recorded and released six studio albums.

In the summer of 2008, Shi Xingyu left the band after a personal dispute with Zhang Wei. Subsequently, the group held a talent contest to recruit a new member but eventually disbanded in June 2009.
