Origin of the name of Wenxincao

Origin of the name of Wenxincao

The reason why Wenxincao is called this name is because of a beautiful legend. According to legend, in the Han Dynasty, there was an ordinary man named Fang Ping from a humble background, and a woman named Qian Wen from a noble family. The man came from a relatively poor family, while Qianwen came from a wealthy family and was outstanding in all aspects of appearance. Once, Qianwen accidentally got lost while out for a walk. I happened to meet Fang Ping who was grazing cattle on the mountain. That's how the two people met. During the conversation, the two found that they got along well with each other and had very similar personalities. Therefore, Fang Ping took Qianwen to the fields to play happily. While playing, Fang Ping suddenly fell into a mud pit. Seeing this, Qianwen hurriedly wiped its clothes with grass. Coincidentally, the grass Qianwen used was in the shape of a heart. After seeing it, the two of them understood each other's meaning and secretly fell in love with each other. However, when the two were walking home together, they were accidentally seen by Qianwen's parents. Seeing that Fang Ping was of humble origin, her parents forbade the two to have any further contact. Therefore, this meeting became the last one. After Fang Ping found out, he missed Qianwen every day and lost his appetite. When he returned to the field where they first met, it was covered with grass, the same kind that Qianwen had picked last time. Therefore, in order to express his longing for Qianwen, Fang Ping named this flower Wenxincao.
