【1. Characteristics of the syringa flower symbolism】
Syringa is a deciduous shrub named for its thin, nail-like flower tubes and strong fragrance. It is a common garden flower. Syringa has large inflorescences with many flowers, delicate and fragrant colors, mainly purple, white, bluish purple, and purplish red, with purple and white syringa flowers being the most common.
The symbolism of syringa flowers is purity. Depending on the color, the specific symbolism varies: purple syringa flowers symbolize friendship and first love, white syringa flowers symbolize youth and laughter, bluish purple syringa flowers symbolize budding love, and purplish red syringa flowers symbolize beauty and grace. It can be seen that no matter which syringa flower, it has a beautiful symbolism and meaning that makes people dreamy.
However, when syringa flowers are used in artistic creation, they often carry a hint of sadness. Whether it's the longing for love written by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin in "The banana does not unfold the syringa knot, each facing the spring breeze and feeling sad" or the lament for the past in the song "Drifting and swinging life, how many beautiful dreams woven" by the net singer Tang Lei, it makes people sigh and unable to let go. Syringa flowers seem to have become flowers of sadness, with a kind of "bleak" beauty.

【2. Is syringa toxic?】
Long exposure to syringa flowers can cause discomfort. Is it because syringa flowers are toxic? In fact, according to scientific research, syringa flowers themselves are not toxic, just like ordinary plants, with no special precautions needed. However, this does not mean they can be eaten, as syringa flowers are not classified as food. So, friends who keep syringa flowers at home don't need to worry about poisoning as long as they care for the plants normally.
In fact, most toxic plants have toxic juices in their leaves or stems, such as万年青 (万年青) and滴水观音 (Schefflera). If humans come into contact with or ingest them, they will be poisoned; some plants can cause poisoning through their fragrance, such as night-blooming cereus and oleander, which contain pollen particles in their fragrance. If people inhale the fragrance for a long time, they will inhale the toxins and get poisoned. Since syringa flowers are not toxic, the above poisoning situations will not occur.
【3. Can syringa flowers be kept at home?】
Since syringa flowers are not toxic, why can't they be kept at home? It's because the fragrance of syringa flowers is quite special. Although they do not contain toxic pollen particles, the strong fragrance can cause dizziness and other discomforts. Modern people usually live in small, confined商品房 (apartments), and the fragrance of flowers is not easily dispersed, which can more easily lead to discomfort in the body.
