The symbolism and meaning of Calla Lily
Qing Dynasty poet Nalan Xingde also wrote about his sentiment for the flower:
"Huàn Xī Shā · Who says that drifting is not pitiful"
Who says that drifting is not pitiful, in the good flower days of past travels. The heartbroken person has gone for years.
A slice of blushing just hit the rain, several threads of tender green suddenly mixed with smoke. The charming soul fades before the sunset.
This poem is extremely graceful and ethereal, vague and mysterious, touching one's heartstrings.
The legend of Calla Lily:
The Calla Lily fairy is the most beautiful and noble flower fairy in the flower world. She is also the favorite candidate for the flower goddess. However, the Calla Lily fairy fell in love with a human boy and fell in love with the human boy regardless of everything.
The flower goddess was angry!
To punish this couple who violated the taboo of love, the flower goddess decided to erase the human boy's memory, and the Calla Lily fairy, as a candidate for the flower goddess, would have to stay in the mortal world forever, just like an ordinary Calla Lily, enduring the cold winter and the hot summer, blooming according to the season. This punishment would last until he forgets the human boy and can return to the flower world.
Time flows silently.
But the Calla Lily fairy has never been able to forget the human boy, even though he has forgotten him, even though he no longer loves him, he still likes him.
The Calla Lily fairy gave up everything; he doesn't want to return to the flower world anymore! With his last life, he silently guards the human boy.
I am a person with the most mundane taste, seeing mountains as mountains, the sea as the sea, flowers as flowers. But when I see you, the clouds and seas surge, the tides start to surge, and the tiny antennae of insects tickle the whole world. You don't need to speak, and I, along with all things in the world, rush towards you.
