Something that symbolizes love.

5. Paper Crane Paper Crane originated in Japan and was originally used to express the hope that patients would recover soon. Later, people prayed for other things like this. Legend has it that folding one every day for a thousand days can bring good luck and happiness to people you like, which is the origin of their names. This legend comes from a story of World War II. 1On August 6th, 945, the "little boy" exploded over Hiroshima. 1.7 kilometers away is the home of a little girl named Sadako Sasaki. At that time, the two-year-old girl was thrown out of the house by the shock wave produced by the atomic bomb explosion. Fortunately, she was not hurt. She and her mother survived, but were injured by black rain full of radioactive dust. 1September, 954, leukemia was diagnosed; 1955 1 month, the doctor said that she could live for another year at most. On August 6th 1955, the hospital allowed her to leave the hospital and attend the peace memorial ceremony with her family. But on the way to the park, her gums began to bleed and she had to go back to the hospital. At that time, paper cranes of various colors were sent from Nagoya and hung in the hospital to encourage patients. Many patients were inspired to start origami cranes, and Sasaki was one of them. In less than a month, she folded 1000 paper cranes, strung each paper crane with thread, hung it on the ceiling of the ward, and then continued to fold. 1955 at the end of September, her condition became more and more serious and she could no longer walk by herself. 10 years1October 25th, she closed her eyes forever. People were moved by Sasaki's bravery and carved her and paper cranes into statues. Nowadays, the paper crane has become a symbol of courage, inspiring people to face difficulties in the face of unfortunate fate. Kawabata Yasunari's 1952 work "Thousand Cranes" tells a different story, but it makes paper cranes more famous. According to the legend of meteor, when a meteor falls, it will make a wish, and the wish can be realized. This is already a good wish. Meteors can be seen almost every night in the clear night sky, because the earth shuttles through the universe composed of various celestial bodies, and there will always be interstellar matter passing through the earth. The earliest record of meteors can be found in the annals of bamboo books: "In the fifteenth year of Xia Emperor, the night stars fell like rain." This is a meteor shower. Every year, meteor showers appear regularly, with different scales and can be predicted. There are three major meteor showers in the northern hemisphere, which are relatively stable and easy to observe every year, namely the quadrant meteor shower in early October of 65438/kloc-0, the Perseid meteor shower in mid-August and the Gemini meteor shower in mid-February of 65438. Leonid meteor showers appear in mid-June at 5438+065438+ 10, and there are only a dozen per hour in normal years. Its famous place is that there will be a peak every 33 years or so, and the flow can reach thousands. The next time is around 2032. According to the meteor shower calendar of the International Meteor Organization (IMO) this year, the Perseid meteor shower reached its peak in August 13, with 0/00 zenith meteors per hour, and Gemini reached its peak in February 14, with 0/20 zenith meteors per hour. But moonlight may affect the observation effect. 3. Xingsha is also called Xingsha. As the name implies, it is sand that looks like a five-pointed star (not sand from a star). Some people may be familiar with this kind of thing because of the best-selling novel Starsand on a Rainy Night. I have to make two points about Xingsha. One is a beautiful legend. A long time ago, the beautiful daughter of Rain God fell in love with the son of the star, that is, the son of the star. But they only met once, and then they never met again. Worried about her thoughts encouraged her to walk into the kingdom of stars and look for their sons. Finally, at the top of the universe, she found the person she admired. Soon, the star's son also fell in love with this beautiful and kind girl, and they fell in love. But love is not allowed in heaven. After the rain god knew it, he flew into a rage and forbade his daughter to meet the son of the stars again. But love is so powerful that they decided to leave heaven. Rain god is the god in charge of water. Every drop of rain is his eyes. As long as she gives the order, Siyu can easily find them. So they racked their brains to come up with a way, that is, two people become stars and rain, small, shining stars, scattered in every corner of the world. In this way, they can be together and avoid the eyes of the rain god. One night, the rain god mobilized all the water to chase the little star. The whole world suddenly began to rain cats and dogs, and almost all the little stars were found out by raindrops, leaving only a few. They landed on the beach and disappeared into the fine sand. Because the combined little star itself has some moisture, after a long time, the little star and the fine sand are skillfully combined to form what everyone calls the star sand. Another thing I have to mention is Saipan, the hometown of stars. Saipan is said to be the "hometown of stars" because the beaches here are famous for their star sands. When you look at the stars at night, you will believe that this is the hometown of the stars. Saipan is the largest island in the Northern Mariana Islands, bordering the Pacific Ocean in the east, the Philippine Sea in the west, Guam and Tianning Island. I think the composition of xingsha is the same as that of ordinary sand, and there are more artificial products than natural products. 2, wind chimes wind chimes can be said to be a native of China mascot. Tang Dynasty Kaiyuan Tianbao's legacy records: "In the bamboo forest of Qigong, there are pieces of broken jade hanging. Every night, I hear the sound of broken jade colliding with each other, and I know that there is wind, and it counts as the wind." The ancients hung stones together, and the wind blew jade, making a crisp sound, which was called "occupying the wind", in order to know by measuring the wind. This is the earliest record, and "more phoenix" should be the earliest origin of wind chimes. Although the chimes of China people, bells and priests are different from those of westerners, they are almost the same in shape, hearing and principle. Ancient people in China hung wind chimes with the sound of "the wind blows jade" for warning, meditation or blessing. Modern people appreciate the sweet and crisp sound of wind chimes and their rich aesthetic feeling. Wind chimes are also common in temples. "Bell" has three meanings in Buddhism: warning, happiness and saying. It is often hung on Buddhist instruments and instruments, and under the eaves of temples and pagodas. Blowing with the wind, making a sound, meaning to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings. Every sound is regarded as a blessing, similar to Tibetan Buddhism, which uses a prayer wheel instead of chanting. In Japan, people will go to temples to hold the "Wind Bell Festival" in summer, hoping that the "sweet" bells can relieve summer heat and reduce disasters for them and place their wishes. In the Tang Dynasty, "Hebei used soldiers, and the night was silent", indicating that wind chimes were also used as warning signs. The function of hanging bells in front of some shops is similar to this: when you gently open the door, the first thing you are greeted with is a crisp bell, followed by a gentle "welcome" ... Wind chimes are also used to predict Feng Shui. There are all kinds of wind chimes on the market now, and it is very simple to make them yourself. Hanging wind chimes in doors, windows, courtyards and other ventilated places can add interest, while hanging wind chimes indoors as decoration can show unique creativity and interest. In many parts of Asia, people think that wind chimes can bring good luck, but some people think that wind chimes can evoke souls and should not be placed. 1. clover clover is not a plant category, but refers to clover, alfalfa, clover and other three-leaf plants. Occasionally, four leaves, or even five or six leaves, grow because of genetic variation. Of course, the more, the rarer. Because these plants generally have only three leaves, the probability of four leaves appearing is about one in 100,000, so it is very lucky to find a four-leaf clover, and such a four-leaf clover becomes a "lucky clover". The real four-leaf clover leaves are white clover with white stripes. On May 10, 2009, the Guinness World Record was set: the clover with the most leaves in the world has 56 leaves. The previous record was also created by this man: in June 2008, he found 2 1 clover leaf. Clover can be traced back to Ireland. St Patrick is an English missionary who brought his faith to Ireland. In the fifth century, it was already the state religion of the Roman Empire. At that time, Britain belonged to the Roman Empire, but Ireland did not. Ireland at this time was a pagan country full of violence, barbarism and cruelty, and there were even human sacrifices. Clover can be found everywhere in Ireland. In order to explain the trinity theory, St. Patrick used it as a metaphor, that is, "the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, but not three gods, but one god". Later, more missionaries were inspired by him and followed in his footsteps to Ireland. In order to commemorate his contribution, Irish people designated the date of his death-March 17 as "St. Patrick's Day", and clover became the symbol of Ireland. Today, "Saint Patrick's Day" has become an important festival for Christians in Western Europe and North America. On this day, people will wear clothes decorated with green clover, hold parades, hold dinners and attend church activities. In the Middle Ages, disciples came across this plant with a four-leaf shape, much like a cross. They think that the four-leaf clover is magical and a treasure given to them by God to drive away the devil. People who find four-leaf clover have special functions, and they can see things that others can't see, and those things may bring disaster. Therefore, the four-leaf clover was recognized as an auspicious token by people at that time, called lucky clover. Another legend is that Adam and Eve brought the clover in the Garden of Eden to the world. Others say that after Adam and Eve were driven out of the Garden of Eden, Eve decided to find a four-leaf clover to commemorate the lost life in heaven. Therefore, if you find such a clover, it is equivalent to having a part of heaven. These four leaves represent fame, wealth, love and health respectively. It is said that three leaves are hope, dedication and love, and the fourth leaf is happiness, so we need to find it. The symbol of love 2 1, pure love, first love-Cangzhou is often sour and sweet when it smiles, and looks more lovely. I want to talk about many such dishes at once, but I always feel that there are only a few. In detail, only Cangzhou's local specialty food-smiles are always on. This dish is made of local golden jujube and white sugar. Remove the jujube stones first, and then put the sugar and noodles together. Sugar is sweet when you eat it, and jujube is slightly sour. It feels like first love when mixed in your mouth. I feel sweet from the heart, but I feel a little sour after eating it. That feeling is always so beautiful. 2, go straight to the theme of love-Guangdong lotus seed lily At the wedding banquet of Guangdong people, the last dessert must be lotus seed lily, which means "a hundred years of harmony, all ends well." I drank this bowl of My Sweetie's sugar water and smiled unconsciously. Cantonese people are really unambiguous and more straightforward than the northeast people. What love is not love? Why are you getting married? If someone wants to see from this name and still doesn't understand why they got married, then this person must have zero IQ. 3, the boring love of the rich-Beijing Roast Duck Beijing Roast Duck is famous at home and abroad and is known as the first food in the world. It represents a national quintessence and a cultural tradition. The shape of roast duck is really beautiful-plump and perfect figure; The color of roast duck is really beautiful-the golden skin is shiny; The smell of roast duck is really tempting-the rich burnt smell makes people salivate. When you take the first bite, your mouth is full of meat. When you take the second bite, you will feel tired. Just like the love of the rich, it makes people jealous. Who knows its boredom? 4, vigorous love-Chongqing hot pot Even in the hot summer, Chongqing people will eat hot pot with bare arms, shaking a big cattail leaf fan and waving a big towel. The red bottom of the pot looks scary, but they love it and are still eating in full swing. Sometimes I worry, will something else taste after eating hot pot? So the hot pot is getting hotter and hotter.
