The meaning of chrysanthemum, what does chrysanthemum represent

1. Meaning

1. Retreat from the world: Chrysanthemum is called the hermit of flowers, which is mainly due to the love of Tao Yuanming of the Jin Dynasty for it. Tao Yuanming himself was a hermit, so he gave the flower the same meaning.

2. Chastity: White chrysanthemums symbolize chastity, and this belief is mainly popular in Japan. In our country, there is a completely different interpretation. It is usually used in memorial occasions to express mourning.

3. Longevity: As we all know, the Double Ninth Festival on September 9 is a festival for the elderly. On this day, people will climb high places to pick chrysanthemums and also have the habit of drinking chrysanthemum tea. Therefore, chrysanthemum also symbolizes longevity. For example, soaking it in aged rice wine, or using it directly for bathing, means "chrysanthemum water brings longevity". In paintings, it is painted together with a pine tree and named "Pine and Chrysanthemum Forever", which is also a good choice for birthday greetings.

2. To whom should I send it?

1. Elderly: Chrysanthemum symbolizes longevity, so it is the most appropriate gift to the elders. But you must be careful not to give white or yellow gifts. These two colors have special meanings, and giving them to the other party may cause misunderstanding and dissatisfaction. Purple and red ones are more suitable as gifts.

2. Lover: Some people think that daisies are suitable for giving to lovers, but chrysanthemums are also acceptable. The yellow color represents a faint love, and the dark red means charm. Giving these two colors of flowers to lovers is also a good choice. Of course, you should do your homework before giving a gift to see if the other person will like it.

3. The deceased: As mentioned above, do not give white chrysanthemums to the elderly, because this color is generally used to mourn the deceased and is usually used in funerals and other occasions. If you are going to attend a memorial service, you can give or wear white chrysanthemums, which will appear solemn and express your grief.
