Manjushaka is also known as the Red Spider Lily. Legends say that the flower and the leaves are a couple who violated heavenly rules and were cursed cruelly: the flower does not see the leaves when in bloom, and the leaves do not see the flower when they grow, missing each other in every lifetime, flowers and leaves are always apart. What do you know about this story? Let's read on!
Red Spider Lily: The meaning starts from the word "Manjusha" in Manjushri Bodhisattva. It signifies endless love, a harbinger of death, and the call of hell.
White Spider Lily: Endless longing, desperate love, a message from heaven.
In folk legends, it is said that long, long ago, the outskirts of the city were filled with vast stretches of Red Spider Lilies, which is Manjushaka. Guardian beside the Manjushaka were two spirits: one was a flower spirit named Manzu, and the other was a leaf spirit named Shaha.
They waited for thousands of years for the Manjushaka to bloom, but they could never see each other... because of the growth habit of Manjushaka - when the flowers bloom, the leaves cannot be seen, and when the leaves grow, the flowers cannot be seen. Between the flowers and leaves, they can never meet, always missing each other. However, they missed each other crazily and were deeply tortured by this pain. Finally, one day, they decided to violate the god's rules and meet in secret.

That year, the bright red flowers of Manjushaka were set off by the striking green, making them look exceptionally enchanting and beautiful. However, the gods blamed this act. Manzu and Shaha were cast into the cycle of rebirth and cursed never to be together, enduring hardships in the mortal world for lifetimes.
From then on, Manjushaka was also called the Red Spider Lily, meaning a flower that blooms in heaven. The shape of the flower looks like a pair of hands praying to heaven, but it has never appeared in the city again...
From then on, this flower became the Red Spider Lily that blooms only on the road to the underworld. When Manzu and Shaha are reincarnated each time, they can smell the fragrance of the Red Spider Lily on the road to the underworld and remember their past lives. They swear not to separate, but they fall into the cursed cycle again.
