The flower language of incense

Happy marriage.

The jasmine tree is known as the "love tree" in China. Because its branches are soft and can be tied into knots without breaking, it is given the meaning of happy knots and connected branches. In traditional Chinese culture, tying a knot symbolizes long-lasting love. A knot is a bond, such as the marriage of a married couple. At the same time, the jasmine has a rich and strong aroma. It has no leaves when it blooms, and the petals are bright yellow, which is very lively and eye-catching. This appearance also well reflects its flower language.

The legend of knot incense

One of the legends of knot incense

In some areas, the knotwood tree is also called the "dream flower". As the name suggests, if you have a dream at night, you can get up the next day and tie a knot on the knotwood tree to dispel the nightmare and make a good dream come true. There is also a saying that if you want to see someone in your dream, you can make a wish in front of the osmanthus tree, pick some osmanthus flowers, and put them under your pillow before going to bed, and that person will appear in your dream. Doesn’t it sound beautiful and dreamy?

The Legend of Jiexiang Part 2

According to legend, during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, there was a man and a woman in love in the palace. However, their social status was not equal. The man was born in poverty, while the woman was of noble status. Due to the legal provisions and strong class hierarchy at the time, this relationship had to end there. Before breaking up, the couple tied a knot on the amaranth tree, symbolizing the end of their relationship. Unexpectedly, the flowers that bloomed on the knotted branches were far better than those on others, and their fragrance was strong and lingered for a long time. This strange event was talked about everywhere in the palace until it reached the ears of Qin Shi Huang. Qin Shi Huang believed that this was a sign and will from the gods, so he made an exception and granted them marriage. Since then, the custom of tying knots and making wishes has gradually formed among the people.
