The Language and History of Pineapple

Flower Language

Pineapple flower is as popular as pineapple, and its flower language also has beautiful meaning. Pineapple flower symbolizes perfection.

How did this flower language come from? That’s because the pineapple flower is focused from its initial germination to its brilliant blooming and then to the final fruiting, and it always has the belief of pursuing perfection in its heart. Small flowers are densely distributed on the flower stems, forming flower spikes. The small flowers are colorful and star-shaped. Unlike other fruits, pineapple can be used as an indoor potted flower. It is very ornamental and deserves to be called the "darling" of the flower market.

history

The origin of the name pineapple is not unrelated to jackfruit. As we all know, paramita is a Buddhist term, which means to reach the other shore. The origin of pineapple is India, and it was introduced to China from Southeast Asia and other places. Jackfruit is a combination of the phonetic and semantic translation of the Sanskrit word Paramim. Since Buddhism originated in India, pineapple was originally translated as jackfruit, which originally meant that the fruit of the pineapple tree is large and sweet. After a long period of development, the word "duo" was omitted.

Another theory is related to a celebrity in the history of cultural exchanges between China and the West, Marco Polo. His book "The Travels of Marco Polo" greatly promoted cultural exchanges between China and the West. Therefore, in order to make this introduced fruit have a little "Western flavor", this fruit was simply called "Polo".
