The understanding of hibiscus flowers began with a legend in the "Three Emperors and Five Emperors". The book tells that in ancient times, there was a hill east of Puyang in Henan, known as Alexandria. Although the mountain is not high, it stands majestically, and at the foot of the mountain grows a rare hibiscus tree in the three duns, as tall as two feet, the crown can be full of acres, and every summer and autumn, the flowers bloom all over the trees, and they are full of brocade. In the Mengqiu season of a certain year, the "four murderers" of chaos, poor qi, mu shou zhu and gluttony went to Alexandria for sightseeing, and when they saw this beautiful scenery, they had evil intentions, so they uprooted the three-pier hibiscus tree, intending to take it for themselves. Unexpectedly, at the moment when the hibiscus tree fell to the ground, the flowers and leaves withered, the incense was destroyed, and the four people saw the defeat and left. At that time, Yu Shun, who was farming nearby, rushed to Alexandria after hearing the news, and together with the farmer, he lifted the hibiscus tree and drew water to water it, and the hibiscus was revived and the flowers bloomed as before. In order to repay Yu Shun's kindness, Hibiscus transformed into a fairy to dream of Yu Shun, and took Yu Shun's secret as a surname to commemorate it.

This beautiful legend carries the ancient people's love for hibiscus, which has not been extinguished for thousands of years. I knew that the legendary story did not exist, but I kept it in my heart, looking forward to one day going to Alexandria to find out. I also used to fantasize that the three-pier hibiscus tree was at the foot of The Alexandria Mountain, green and lush, full of leaves in all seasons, and pink and white flowers could cover all the winds on the earth.
Red hibiscus
However, some extravagant expectations eventually did not say that the trip was gone, and as time passed, the scenery of The Mountain of Alexandria had gone farther and farther in the heart field, and the understanding of hibiscus stopped here.
But I understand a fact that I can find the answer in a book that I don't know. For example, the hibiscus tree, she rubbed into the poet's heart, turned into a splendid article, on the intertwined case table of ink and ink, with the passage of time inch by inch flowing to this day. Her flowers are either pink or white, towards the opening and falling, like the tide, like Rong Yu's poetic expression in "Red Hibiscus Flower".
White hibiscus
"The flowers are crimson leaves and dust, and do not compete with peach and plum for spring. Today' self-pitying guests, folded to hold gifts to young people. "This is the way I like it, independent in autumn, flowers and leaves, hanging on the cold dew of last night, waking up is still ordinary." In Rong Yu's heart, a bouquet of hibiscus flowers was innocent and flawless, withstanding the spring wind and summer rain and the sufferings of the world, and whoever was fortunate enough to be that teenager was really the best.
Rong Yu's family lives in Gangneung, where hibiscus flowers are like clusters, staggered, and every summer and autumn, often the mountains are full of wilderness, and the prosperity does not diminish that year. Cui Daorong, who is also a Poet of Jiangling, also has a special love for hibiscus flowers, and in the years of being an official in Zhejiang, Cui Daorong is homesick, but when he sees the mixed feelings of Hibiscus, he knows that it is difficult to return to his hometown after a long time of parting. He said in "Hibiscus Flower" that "hibiscus flowers do not see the sunset, and they are new every day." The east wind blows peach plums and will not take until next spring. "Picking up the flowers, fleeting, the clenched hand is not yet hot to say goodbye." Many times, life must be adhered to in this helplessness, just because time is short, the years are long, and those beautiful things that cannot be accompanied for a long time can only remember to be separated from each other, and to have and cherish.

Just like Xue Tao, who had just opened her heart, loved Yuan Shu and also loved Wei Gao, she sat under the Xuan window and looked at Zhu Geun, and the poem flowed out on the red note. "Red open face mistakenly Wen Jun, Si Gang Hibiscus grass green clouds." Most of the creations are arranged in a clever manner, and the color of the clothes is always smoked. ”
She is the gorgeous hibiscus flower, galloping in the heat, stepping on the cold eyes of the world's contempt and scorn, with a pulse of affection, a hundred beautiful sorrows, guarding a sad body, and being a true woman with feelings and righteousness. When you love, don't be pretentious, change into a coarse sermon coat when you don't love, and calmly face the fact that people are old and yellow, even if you are alone, you must live freely.

The British hibiscus blooms, and it is once red for a thousand years. In Tang poetry, among the hundred flowers, hibiscus is not the most beautiful, but she may be the most gentle.
