Flower culture has a long history in China, since ancient times, people have a unique emotion for flowers, and the flower language and legends in flower culture often affect people's preferences and choices of flowers, such as lotus, peony and other flowers are loved in Chinese culture, but there are also some flowers because of the name is unlucky or poisonous, so people are not welcomed.
So which flowers are not welcomed?
What kind of flower language and legend do these flowers have?
1. Epiphany.
Epiphany is called "short-lived" because of its short flowering period, which is precisely because of its short flowering period, although beautiful but difficult to retain, so people often say that "life is like a dream, short-lived".
It is precisely because of this that the flower language of epiphany implies the beauty of the moment, so that people know how to cherish the happiness of the moment, and also let people understand that beauty will not be eternal and needs to be cherished.
According to legend, there is a person named Li Tan, his wife cut off his long hair when he went on the expedition, and planted it at the door of his house, and then Li Tan said goodbye, and his wife waited for him at the door of the house every day, but her long hair grew into an epiphany, so there was a saying that "life is like a dream, a flash in the pan".
However, epiphany is not a beautiful flower, because the flowering period of epiphany is only half a day, and the flowers are bright and moving when they bloom, but they will begin to wither after half a day of blooming, which makes it difficult for people not to have a fear of epiphany.
Second, the mandala.
Mandala is called mandala grass in the West, because of its beautiful appearance, it is called "beauty grass" in the West.
But in China, the mandala is an unlucky flower, and the mandala is also called the "gourd flower" in the mainland, because the fruit of the mandala grows like a gourd, but it is very poisonous, even its flowers are poisonous.
Mandala is very poisonous, and even has the phrase "If you eat a mandala, you may be able to see God", mandala is very toxic and can easily be fatal.
The poison of mandala can even cause people to hallucinate, so in the Middle Ages, mandala was regarded as a poison, and the flowers of mandala will give off a pungent smell at night, which can easily cause panic among people, so mandala is not welcomed in China.
It is precisely because of its toxicity that the flower language of mandala has the flower language of "deceiving people and poisonous weeds", which means that there is a deadly danger hidden under the seemingly beautiful appearance.
3. Bowl lotus.
In traditional Chinese culture, lotus is regarded as a holy plant, and the lotus flower also has the beautiful meaning of "out of the mud without staining", so people will choose to raise lotus or lotus when raising lotus.
However, they will never choose to raise bowl lotus, because the name of bowl lotus sounds unlucky, and in the white couplet, there will also be the phrase "bowl lotus self-pity without red tears", so people think that bowl lotus is an unlucky flower.
But in fact, the shape of the bowl lotus is very elegant, and the flowers are also very beautiful, so there is a saying that "the bowl lotus is not as good as the bowl lotus", which means that even the bowl lotus is an unlucky flower has a beautiful side.
In real life, bowl lotus is also a very good flower, because it does not need light, and does not need to be watered often, so bowl lotus is also regarded as a kind of "fairy flower", but it is absolutely not suitable for keeping at home, people in the maintenance of bowl lotus, it is best to put it outdoors.
Fourth, poppies.
The poppy is a very beautiful flower, but it is a plant prohibited by the state, and the poppy is also a very poisonous flower, the flowers of the poppy will become a capsule, and the seeds in the capsule are the famous opium, and the flowers of the poppy are very toxic and have a strong anesthetic effect.
The flower language of the poppy is precisely because of its toxicity, meaning "death love", the poppy is a plant that symbolizes death in Western culture, and the poppy is also an unlucky flower in China, so people will never choose to plant poppies when raising flowers.
Poppies have also been cultivated in the history of the mainland, but that was during the war years, when poppies were mainly cultivated for opium, so poppies were also regarded as a hoodoo thing.
Five, Higan Hana.
The other side flower is an unlucky flower in the traditional culture of the mainland, because the other side flower represents death in the traditional culture of the mainland, but the other side flower is a very beautiful flower, so in reality there are people who raise the other side of the flower, but it is rare.
In traditional Japanese culture, the flower is a flower that represents love, and it also has a flower language in Japan such as "I want to see you", so in Japanese culture, the flower is a good omen.
But in the traditional culture of the mainland, the flower is an unlucky flower, this is because the flower represents death in the traditional culture of the mainland, because the flowering period of the flower is very short, and the flower of the flower will wither quickly, so people think that the flower is a flower that represents death, and the flower of the other side also has the saying of "want to die you" in the traditional culture of the mainland.
epilogue
The selection and maintenance of flowers is not only a hobby and decoration, but also a reflection of cultural traditions and personal aesthetics, and different flowers represent different cultural connotations and aesthetic tastes.
Therefore, when choosing to raise flowers, we should not only look at the beauty of the flowers themselves, but also consider the characteristics of the plant and the difficulty of maintenance, as well as whether it is suitable for the family environment.
Although some flowers have negative symbols in traditional culture, with the change of social concepts and the diversification of people's aesthetic concepts, some people have begun to break the traditional concept and choose to plant their favorite flowers.
