What does hibiscus symbolize?

1. Flower Language

When talking about the symbolic meaning of hibiscus, we must talk about its flower language. There are many sayings about its flower language in ancient times, and there are two common ones:

1. Gentle persistence: Hibiscus flowers bloom in the morning and fall in the evening. However, every time it withers, it is to bloom better next time. Just like the sun, it rises in the morning and sets in the evening, endlessly. Therefore, people use "gentle persistence" as its flower language, symbolizing perseverance.

2. Tenacity: Hibiscus has a very strong vitality, hence the flower language of “tenacity”. It symbolizes perseverance despite all kinds of hardships.

In addition to these two common flower languages, it also has other flower languages ​​such as "love and righteousness", which symbolizes the importance of love and righteousness.

2. Legend

In addition, regarding its symbolic meaning, its legend needs to be considered. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were three hibiscus flowers that were very charming. When the flowers bloom, the whole tree is full of gorgeous flowers. This year, the "Four Evils", namely Hun Dun, Tao Wu, Qiong Qi and Tao Tie, came to fight for it. The three hibiscus trees withered upon seeing this, and the "Four Evils" had no choice but to leave dejectedly. Later, the hibiscus was saved by Shun, and the flower bloomed as before. In order to repay Shun's kindness, the Hibiscus Fairy made the hibiscus bloom more luxuriantly than before. The symbolic meaning of hibiscus also includes repaying a favor.
