Flower language of kumquatOrange represents good luck and is full of auspicious meaning. As the saying goes, kumquats celebrate the New Year and bring good luck. During the Chinese New Year, place two pots of kumquats at the door or on the balcony and hang red envelopes on them, which is particularly auspicious. In addition to being displayed, kumquats can also be given to others as gifts, and they also have the meaning of bringing good luck. The legend of kumquatWhen talking about kumquat, we have to mention Suichuan kumquat. Suichuan County in Jiangxi Province is known as the hometown of kumquat. There is also an interesting legend about Suichuan kumquat. A long time ago, there was a small mountain town in Longquan, which is today's Suichuan. There was a man named Gu in the town who was very lazy, so people called him Lazy Snake Gu. This lazy snake Gu's family is very poor and he often has no food to eat. One day, he was very hungry, so he went to the mountains to look for wild fruits to fill his stomach. When he climbed over one mountain after another, feeling tired and hungry and in a desperate situation, he suddenly saw a small tree with golden fruits. He was very happy and could not wait to eat the fruits without caring whether they were edible or not. When he was full, he fell asleep on the mountain, ready to die. However, after waking up from a nap on the mountain, the lazy snake Gu not only did not die, but felt very energetic. It suddenly occurred to him, why not take these fruits home and plant them? If there is no food to sustain life, these fruits will come in handy. So the lazy snake Gu picked all the fruits from the tree, ate them, buried the cores in the soil, and left them there. Later, seedlings grew in Lazy Snake Gu's vegetable garden. Lazy Snake Gu was very happy, but he was still too lazy to take care of it. He just weeded the plants sometimes. Three years later, the seedlings grew into fruit trees. They bloomed in the summer, and after the flowers faded, they actually produced fruits. In autumn, the fruits turn golden yellow and are large and round, very delicious. They can not only fill the lazy snake's stomach, but also allow the lazy snake to sell some of them. People ate the fruit and found it delicious, so they asked what it was. Lazy Snake Gudu told everyone and also told everyone how to grow it. From then on, the fruit became widely known and was also planted in other places. Later, it was named kumquat. |
