The Flower Language and Legend of the Red Orchid

The legend of Yan Lai Hong

According to legend, a long time ago, there was a river called Yanhe. On the bank of the Yanhe River, there lived a handsome young man named Yanzi and a beautiful girl named Hongxiang. The two were very well-matched, so they decided to get married. However, at the same time, a man there took a fancy to Hongxiang, and colluded with the government to send Yanzi to a remote and faraway place to do hard labor, and forced Hongxiang to marry this bully. Hongxiang was unwilling, so the bully humiliated her in every way. Hongxiang was unwilling but could not fight back, so she hit her head against the wall and died. After her death, someone buried her, and a beautiful flower grew on her grave. At this time, Yan Zi, who was far away, heard the news and was heartbroken. He died of grief and turned into a wild goose, flying towards his lover. When he flew to the grave, the color of the flowers turned red, which was very stunning. So, people named this flower "Yan Lai Hong" to commemorate the love story of Yan Zi and Hong Xiang.


Flower language of the red hibiscus

My heart is burning

The flowers of the wild geese are a stunning bright red color, just like a human heart or a blazing fire. Therefore, people use wild geese to express "my heart is burning", especially in winter when the cold atmosphere outside is incompatible with the red of the wild geese. The wild geese are like a pot of fire, which is more in line with the flower language of "my heart is burning".


Passionate love and affection

This layer of flower language mainly comes from the legend of Yan Lai Hong. In order to commemorate the love between Yan Zi and Hong Xiang, the Yan Lai Hong bloomed fiery red flowers. Therefore, this Yan Lai Hong also represents this passionate love and emotion.
