The origin of flower names

Jiaoxiaoqiao

Chrysanthemum belongs to Compositae, with beautiful plants and beautiful petals and buds. Flowers are beautiful, charming, touching, colorful, with a brown heart and petals that are usually half red and half yellow, which are particularly chic and exquisite.

The color is unique. From the flower heart to the petals, you can see the gradual change of color, from deep red to light red to yellow, which looks a bit like tiger skin from a distance.

Chrysanthemum is very resistant to salt and alkali, wind and cold, so it is also widely planted in arid and barren places to eradicate soil erosion. The name chrysanthemum is very atmospheric, which comes from a sad legend.

In ancient times, there lived a loving young couple in a fishing village in South Australia. The man's name is Song Ya, and the woman's name is Yaju. In late spring, Song Ya went fishing in the sea, and Ah Zhu was weaving a net at home. The wind and cloud change suddenly, and the sea is stormy. The bamboo raft in Song Ya is like a remnant leaf, fluttering in the wind and waves. Ah Zhu ran to the seaside, expecting Asuncion to return, and the waves rolled and never returned.

Song Ya's bamboo raft drifted for three days and nights, and drifted to Fujian. Yaju waited for three days and nights and fainted on the coast. The fisherman's sisters helped her go home. The heartbroken chrysanthemum doesn't eat or drink, calling Song Ya's name every day.

When Song Ya came home from Fujian, Zhu was already dead. Asuncion held Arju's body and cried in pain, which made people sad.

Song Ya fought back his grief and went to Nanpeng to lick squid. To commemorate Aju, he brought chrysanthemum seedlings from South Australia, planted them next to the fisherman's cabin and took good care of them. Maybe it's the relationship between soil and environment. Chrysanthemum seedlings can't live, or they won't live long.

Asuncion lamented to the sky: "Oh, my God! Why can't my little wish come true? "

Asuncion was crying in his dream when he saw an old man with a white beard coming over and said to him, "Don't be sad, son. Sprinkle these petals on Nanpeng, and you can realize your wish. "

At this time, Asuncion asked in surprise: "Who are you? What kind of flower is this? " The old man smiled and replied, "I am from the sky, and this is the chrysanthemum in the sky." A piece of auspicious clouds floated by and the old man disappeared. Asuncion scattered the petals into the air, and the petals fluttered with the wind and slowly fell to the ground. ...

The next morning, Asuncion woke up from his dream, walked out of the fishing hut and found that the ground was covered with crimson wild chrysanthemums. "I'm from the sky, and this is the chrysanthemum in the sky." The words of the old man in the dream vaguely hovered in his ear, and Asuncion knew that this flower was called chrysanthemum. Fishermen who catch squid in Nanpeng like this chrysanthemum very much.

In Feng Shui, chrysanthemum symbolizes longevity and longevity, and at the same time, it is different from many different flowers in Feng Shui. Pairing with cypress symbolizes "longevity", and matching with orchid also symbolizes "more than three lives", that is, "many children and many blessings lead to longevity".
