Today's experience sharing: What does hydrangea symbolize, the language of flowers and the small experience of plant cultivation, let's get to know together.
The Language of Hydrangea
Flower Language: Hope, Loyalty, Eternity, Perfection, Reunion
Native to the Mediterranean, hydrangeas are famous in the world for their evergreen trees that bloom in severe winters. In the cold winter, the sudden appearance of pink buds and white flowers seems to tell people that spring is approaching. Therefore, hydrangeas symbolize "hope." People born under this flower's blessing are very patient and tolerant. They bring hope to many people, and their own lives are very rich.
Loyalty refers to the loyalty to love and the eternity of mutual affection. Moreover, the round flowers and beautiful posture of the hydrangea symbolize the unbreakable bond with one's family, no matter how long they are apart, they will reunite. Thus, it symbolizes "perfection and reunion." Also, because its color can change a lot during its short bloom period, and it does not simply change from red to blue or from blue to green, hydrangeas also imply "infidelity and fickleness."
The Legend of Hydrangea
One: It is said that one time, the Eight Immortals went to the Yaochi to attend the Peach Banquet of the Queen Mother of the West, and on their way back, they惊动了 the Dragon King of the East Sea. The nine sons of the Dragon King were ordered to investigate on the surface of the sea. Among them, the seventh prince of the Dragon King saw the beauty of He Xian'gu, one of the immortals, and stirred up a storm on the sea surface, seizing He Xian'gu and taking her to the Dragon Palace. The other seven immortals were furious, raised their magical weapons, turned into seven red-scaled fire dragons, and sprayed blazing flames towards the sea surface, causing the water to boil fiercely.
The Dragon King in the Dragon Palace felt unbearably hot, heard the ear-splitting roar outside, and the Dragon Palace shook even harder. After finding out the reason, he scolded the seventh prince, tied him up with his own hands, and asked He Xian'gu to sit on a dragon sedan chair, carried by the other eight dragon sons, to the surface of the sea to apologize to the immortals. Seeing that He Xian'gu returned safely and the Dragon King personally escorted the seventh prince to apologize, the seven immortals cooled down, expressing their willingness to turn hostilities into friendship. The Dragon King offered flowers to the immortals as an apology. The immortals took the flowers back to the mainland, and the flowers were簇簇锦簇, like a big绣球, indeed beautiful and colorful, outstanding, adding a beautiful scene to the百花园. People knew that this flower was brought by the immortals and affectionately called it "Eight Immortals Hydrangea."
Two: It is also said that this flower was the result of He Xian'gu sprinkling immortal flower seeds during a picnic at the Eight Immortals Table before crossing the sea, as she saw the beautiful scenery of clear water and beautiful mountains and wanted to add beauty to it. The next year, eight-colored flowers bloomed all over the Ba Xian Mountain and Jiu Shang Mountain areas, so people called this flower Ba Xian Flower. Later, people found that this flower is unique to the Dongling area and changed its name to Dongling Ba Xian Flower. This flower has been listed as a rare flower in the Chinese Flower Encyclopedia.
