Many flower enthusiasts should know that the language of the hyacinth is: 'As long as the fire of life is ignited, one can share a rich life.' What do you think of when you see this language? Can you imagine the legend of the hyacinth? Let the editor bring you the legend and stories about the hyacinth!
Legend of the Hyacinth I
It is said that the handsome and dashing youth Hyacinthus was good friends with the sun god Apollo, and Zephyrus, the god of the west wind, also liked Hyacinthus very much. Often envious of the relationship between the three, Hyacinthus always preferred Apollo and often played with him. One day, while they were joyfully throwing a discus on the prairie, Zephyrus, who was jealous, found them and decided to play a trick on them.
When Apollo threw the discus towards Hyacinthus, the envious west wind god secretly blew hard, causing the heavy discus to hit Hyacinthus's forehead directly, resulting in a fountain of blood and the loss of the handsome youth's life. Apollo, in a panic,抱起 the lifeless friend and sighed repeatedly, seeing blood gushing out of Hyacinthus's wound and flowing into the grass.
Soon after, clusters of purple flowers bloomed in the grass. Apollo, to express his apologies, named the flower after the handsome youth, now translated directly as "hyacinth." This is one of the legends of the hyacinth. The language of the purple hyacinth is considered by later generations to be "jealousy," with the Greek words Ai and Aei (meaning "forever") being synonymous, so the hyacinth also symbolizes "eternal remembrance." Therefore, in the West, people often carve the design of hyacinth flowers on tombstones of their family members to express "eternal remembrance."
Legend of the Hyacinth II
The legend says that Apollo, the sun god, fell in love with Phaethon, but this attracted the jealousy of the west wind god, who turned Apollo and Phaethon into a pair of hyacinths. Since the hyacinth stem is adorned with clusters of bell-like flowers that show a flying posture when the wind blows, people believe that even as flowers, Apollo and Phaethon continue to present beauty to the world.
Therefore, later Europeans developed a special affection for hyacinths. The legend also says that Venus, the goddess of beauty and love, loved to collect the dew that gathered on hyacinth petals, making her skin more beautiful and smooth. Thus, in England, blue hyacinths have always been an indispensable part of the bridal bouquet or decorative flowers, symbolizing the purity of the couple and their wish for happiness.
The hyacinth flower has thus become a token of fidelity between lovers, with the language of the flower being: steadfast, attentive, which is exactly the annotation for eternal love.
