It takes at least one tank of water to raise water lilies, but a tank of stagnant water is stagnant water, and stagnant water at home will bring shade. If you keep water lilies at home, over time, people will be attacked by Yin Qi, which will easily attract ghosts. So some old people will be more jealous of these.
Water lily is a kind of lotus plant, which "emerges from mud without being stained, bright without being demon". This is an ancient evaluation of lotus, and the flower language of water lily means purity and innocence. Water lilies have been regarded as a symbol of nobility and elegance since ancient times.
Water lilies are also holy flowers in Buddhism and Taoism. Some people think that raising lotus flowers at home will pollute them with dust, which is disrespectful to the gods and will bring bad luck. So that's why some people refuse to keep water lilies at home.
The legend of water lily
Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a girl who lived in a remote mountain village, where a river surrounded the village. One day, the river dried up. For the sake of her family, the girl ran around all day just to find some water. On a foggy morning, she walked along the river alone, filled with sadness.
Suddenly, a voice clearly came into her ear: "Your eyes are really beautiful". Just as she turned around, I saw a fish looking at her in the mud in the river. It is a beautiful fish, its scales are as blue as the sky, it has a pair of gentle eyes, and its voice is so clear and transparent.
The fish told the girl that if the girl could come to see him often and let him see her eyes, he could give her a jar of water. Of course, that's just an excuse. The fish's heart is as spotless as hers. Therefore, the girl will meet the fish every morning, and the fish will fulfill its promise. Every day, my family kept asking about the origin of the water, but the girl just laughed and didn't answer.
Although we face each other across the water, our mood is the same. On the third day, the girl found herself in love with fish. In the morning fog, this feeling is almost unreal. Finally, the fish told the girl that he wanted her to be his wife, and the girl agreed affectionately. So the fish came out of the river and hugged the girl on the shore. So they got married.
Finally, one day, people in the village saw their meeting. They think fish use black magic on girls. So they locked the girl up and came to the river with knives, forks and spears. Call out the fish and threaten him with his wife. As soon as he appeared, they laid hands on him and the fish died in despair. Then, people carried the dead fish and returned home in triumph. They threw the dead fish at the girl's feet.
She fantasized that he would wake up. But that would only break her heart. So she picked up the cold fish and walked to the river. If time can't heal the pain, then death is always possible. In this way, they died in people's eyes of surprise and doubt. However, their children have been breeding in the water for generations. That is today's water lily.
