Azalea, what kind of flower is that? It has a long history in our country and symbolizes perseverance. Today, let us walk into the wonderful world of azaleas and explore the story and symbolic meaning behind it.
I. Origin and Distribution of Rhododendron Rhododendron, also known as azalea, pomegranate, etc., belongs to Ericaceae and Rhododendron. It originated in our country and is widely distributed throughout the country. Among them, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places have a wide variety of rhododendrons and are known as the "Azalea Kingdom".
2. The symbolic meaning of azalea 1. Indomitable rhododendrons grow in high mountains, not afraid of severe cold and scorching heat, and grow tenaciously. This spirit is precisely the quality of "perseverance" advocated by our Chinese nation. Therefore, azaleas symbolize perseverance.
2. Love and beauty In my country's folklore, azalea is a symbol of love. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a king named Du Yu who went into exile due to defeat. In order to find her father, his daughter went through many hardships and eventually turned into an azalea. Therefore, azaleas also represent love and beauty.
3. Commemoration and remembrance In our country's traditional culture, azaleas also symbolize remembrance and remembrance. For example, in "Spring Outlook" by Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, there is "The country is broken and there are mountains and rivers, and the city is deep in spring and vegetation. Tears splashed with tears when I feel the time, and I hate the bird to be scared." The poem expresses the poet's grief over the fall of the country and his longing for his relatives. The azalea is a symbol of this grief and longing.

2. Rich colors Azalea flowers are rich in colors such as red, pink, white, and purple. Among them, red azaleas are the most common, symbolizing enthusiasm and celebration.
3. The flowering period is longer, and the azaleas generally bloom from spring to autumn. In southern China, some azaleas can even bloom all year round.
4. Conservation and reproduction of rhododendrons 1. Maintaining azaleas prefers a cool and humid environment and is not drought-resistant. During the maintenance process, keep the soil moist and avoid direct sunlight. At the same time, regular fertilization should be carried out to ensure the growth of rhododendrons.
2. The main breeding methods of rhododendrons include cuttage, grafting, sowing, etc. Among them, cuttage is the most commonly used reproduction method. During the cuttage process, pay attention to selecting healthy branches and maintaining appropriate temperature and humidity.
5. The medicinal value of rhododendrons Rhododendron is not only beautiful, but also has medicinal value. According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", rhododendron has the effects of clearing heat and toxic materials, swelling and pain, expelling wind and removing dampness. In folk, people often use azaleas to treat diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and bruises.
