The dogtail grass usually grows in the countryside, in fields and along roadsides. Our understanding of it remains in childhood memories. As we grow up and go our separate ways, even when we occasionally return to our hometowns, we are often in a hurry and do not visit the fields and field edges. So, we gradually forget about the dogtail grass. However, I wrote an article before, specifically about dogtail grass, with the aim of reviving people's memories and rerecognizing its value.
What I want to say today is that the dogtail grass, although it is considered a weed, actually blooms and bears fruit, has seeds, and has a beautiful and profound symbolism. There is also a beautiful love story about it.
The symbolism of the dogtail grass flower: resilience, misunderstood, challenging love, unrequited love.
It is said that there was a very pretty little girl who had a birthday, and many little boys sent her flowers, all kinds of beautiful ones. At this time, a little boy from a poor family sent the girl a bunch of dogtail flowers and was laughed at by the other boys. The girl was also very angry at the time and chased him away. Later, after thinking carefully, she wanted to know the reason, so she asked the boy why he didn't send her beautiful flowers but sent her dogtail grass. The boy told her that because dogtail grass symbolizes love that is not understood but can silently give for her. The girl was very touched after hearing this.

There is a sad and beautiful legend about the symbolism of dogtail grass.
The legend goes that the dogtail grass was transformed from a divine dog that a fairy brought down from heaven when she descended to the world. The fairy fell in love with a scholar in the mortal world but was opposed by the Queen Mother of the West. In order to be together, the fairy and the scholar dared to defy the Queen Mother of the West. In the final moments of their struggle, the fairy's divine dog sacrificed its own life to save its master. In the end, the fairy and the scholar turned into two yin-yang jade pendants that are passed down in the mortal world. It is said that if two lovers each obtain these two jade pendants, they can become lovers forever. After the fairy's divine dog died, it turned into dogtail grass, generation after generation, witnessing the love story, which is very touching.
