Flower language of red spider lily

Flower Language

The legend of red spider lily mainly comes from Asia, such as China, Japan and Korea. The content of the legend is basically the same, but each country has a different understanding of the language of the red spider lily: in China, it means auspiciousness, and its language in China is "graceful and pure"; while in Korea, it represents lovesickness, and the red spider lily blooms on the other side of the river, so its language in Korea is "mutual longing." It means "separation, sadness, beautiful death, and bad luck"; in Japan, it symbolizes separation and death, so the flower language in Japan is "sad memories".

At present, the color of the red spider lily is not only blood red, there is also a pure white spider lily, also known as Mandragora. The language of the white flower is completely opposite to that of the red flower. "Endless longing, desperate love, letter from heaven" this is the language of white red spider lily, while the language of red red spider lily is "endless love, omen of death, call from hell".

legend

1. Legend 1

According to legend, the red spider lily blooms on both sides of the Yellow Springs Road. The color of the flowers is as bright red as blood. Moreover, the red spider lily has flowers but no leaves. It is the only scenery in the underworld. It guides the ghosts leaving the human world to the direction of hell. The fragrance of the flower has the magic to summon the memories of the dead before they died. After the soul crosses the Forgotten River, it will forget all the memories of its previous life, and all the memories of the past will remain on the other side.

2. Legend II

Legend has it that the flower of the other shore blooms for a thousand years and withers for a thousand years, and the flowers and leaves can never meet each other. There are two goblins guarding the flower of the other shore, the flower goblin Manzhu and the leaf goblin Shahua. They have been guarding the red spider lily together for more than a thousand years, but have never met each other, because when the red spider lily blooms, it has no leaves, and when there are leaves, the flowers have withered, and the flowers and leaves have never appeared together. The two goblins missed each other and were deeply tormented by the pain. Finally one day, they violated God's rules and met secretly. Because the flowers and leaves appear at the same time, the bright flowers of Lycoris radiata are set off by the tender green leaves, making them look particularly enchanting. This scene shocked the heaven and earth, and the gods naturally knew about it. In the end, Manju and Shahua were sent into reincarnation, and it was stipulated that they could never be together, and would suffer the pain of reincarnation for generations to come.
