What does the flower language of凤凰花 (凤凰木, Delonix regia) mean?
Sharing the flower language of 凤凰花 and the meaning and symbolism of this green plant and flower introduction. Next, the editor will introduce it to the netizens.
凤凰花 (学名: Delonix regia), also known as the Phoenix Tree, is tall, reaching over 20 meters. It thrives in high temperatures and sunny environments and can only grow lush in sufficient sunlight. Distributed in southern and southwestern China, its original habitat is in Madagascar and other tropical places around the world. It is the school flower of Xiamen University.
The 凤凰花 is known as one of the most colorful trees in the world due to its bright red or orange flowers combined with the bright green pinnate leaves.
I accidentally learned about "凤凰花" from a friend and was surprised by the beauty of such flowers.
Why is it called "凤凰花"? My friend told me the origin of the name 凤凰花, its flower language, and the main blooming season, which opened my eyes!
凤凰花 is relatively showy, and its petals, when they fall on the ground, resemble the shape of a phoenix, hence the name.
The flower language of 凤凰花 is longing and farewell. When 凤凰花 blooms, it is the season when many people leave. Du Fu's poem goes: "Feeling the times, flowers shed tears; regretting parting, birds alarm the heart," which is very fitting.
凤凰花 blooms twice a year, coinciding with the school season and graduation season, also symbolizing the replacement of the old with the new.
The first season is from May to July, and the second season is in September.
Countless literary and artistic figures have praised 凤凰花 as follows:
Southern towns have 凤凰 flowers, the cart rolls halfway and feels dazed. Climbing high to gaze at the secluded valley's color, how much mist and rain, how much green?
People today only say that the south of the Yangtze River was beautiful in ancient times. Now, we still look at the spring of 凤凰.
Kunshan jade shattered, 凤凰 cries; hibiscus weeps in the dew, orchids laugh.
凤凰 rebirth is nirvana, wild chickens rebirth is尸变 (a term for a kind of metamorphosis).
Where is the old mirror鸾, the��桐凤 does not perch. The peacock has plenty of money, the锦段落山鸡 (a kind of bird).
...
Seeing such bright 凤凰 flowers for the first time, I am astonished by the wonder of nature and feel ashamed of my ignorance, as the unknown world is truly vast.
"Witnessing" the blazing 凤凰 flowers, the heart is so hot.
The scorching June sun is also the season when 凤凰 flowers are in full bloom.
"When the 凤凰 flowers bloom, come to see me!"
All things in the world cannot be separated from yin and yang. The fiery 凤凰 flowers are both a season of parting and a season of reunion.
"凤凰 flowers bloom in two seasons: one for parting, one for reunion; one for the scattering of relationships, one for the arrival of new relationships; relationships that come and go will eventually scatter, flowers that bloom and fade will always return to dust."
Say softly: Although 凤凰 flowers are beautiful, they must not be picked or tasted randomly to avoid poisoning.
Life is also like this:
The long road of life is always a mix of joy and sorrow. There is bitterness and joy, laughter and tears; there are winding paths full of thorns, as well as wide and flat main roads; there is the pain of failure, and more so the joy of success.
Understanding this, you will be able to "not be happy with things, not sad with yourself," to be calm and peaceful in life.
Keep every bit of初心, walk every step of the way, cherish every sincere feeling, experience the happiness in your hand, enjoy the joy of contentment, no matter how time passes, my heart remains steadfast and unmovable as a mountain.
May we all be confident and open-minded, master our lives like a large chariot, drive smoothly, and head towards the shore of success!
Xiamen has an ancient and beautiful legend: long ago, there was no vegetation or human habitation here. A group of white egrets migrating south stopped here to rest on the shore. The leading white egret found an abundance of fish and shrimps in the water, with plenty of food and no threats from venomous snakes or harassment from hunters with bows and arrows, so it led the group of white egrets to settle down on this small island.
The egrets also set about beautifying their home. Some egrets used their beaks and sharp claws to dig, expending great effort to create many springs, from which clear water gushed; others brought various flower and grass seeds from the mainland and scattered them on the island, making the island burst with flowers and greenery. The beautiful mountains and clear waters attracted many birds to build nests; bees and butterflies also came to collect pollen, making the small island lively and colorful.
This scene made the snake king lurking under the East Sea extremely envious. It wanted to seize this beautiful small island built by the white egrets, so it led the snake demons to stir up trouble, instantly causing the island to be hit by sand and stones, with the sky darkening. The white egrets fought a fierce battle with the snake demons to defend their home. The leading egret severely wounded the snake king and drove away the snake demons, but it too was seriously injured and lay in a pool of blood. Later, on the land where the big egret shed its blood, a tall tree grew, with leaves that opened like the big egret; the flowers it bore were as red as the egret's blood. This tree is known as the Phoenix Tree; this flower is known as the 凤凰花.
