The flower language and legend of Saxifrage

The flower language of Saxifrage: persistence

The scientific name of Saxifrage is very interesting, and it literally means "rock cutter" from Latin. This is because saxifrage likes to grow at the foot of the mountain and in rock cracks where the sun is not shining. After a long time, maybe it is really possible to cut through the rock. Therefore, the flower language of Saxifrage is: persistence.

Anyone born under the blessing of this flower has great patience and can persevere and slowly accumulate great achievements.

At the same time, saxifrage is also given the meaning of "true love". Cuicui's love for Nuwasong is pure, beautiful, and full of expectations. Maybe this person will come back every day, or maybe this person will never come back. But Cuicui just waited here and didn't go anywhere.

The legend of saxifrage

Emperor Yang of Sui was licentious and immoral. Evil people were rampant in the chaotic times, and Jiaxing was no exception. The flower-picking thieves and yellow-robed men ruined many decent women, and they had long been coveting the two girls, Taohua and Juhua.

In the cold winter, peach blossoms' hands are soft and smooth, while chrysanthemums' hands are red, swollen, and covered with chilblains. One day, Juhua helped her sister carry the basket full of clothes and went to the river to wash clothes. On the damp rocks beside the canal, there were many beautiful saxifrages growing. The leaves of this grass were round or kidney-shaped, light green on the surface and pink on the back. There were 5 petals, which were arranged in panicles. The flowers were white and the fruits were oval. Chrysanthemum looked at Peach Blossom washing clothes by the river with envy.

Suddenly, a black shadow pounced on Chrysanthemum. Chrysanthemum was caught off guard and fell down, landing on the saxifrage, and the crushed juice smeared on Chrysanthemum's hands. Seeing this, Taohua shouted, "Help!" The cry for help shook the surface of the lake. When the villagers heard Taohua's cry for help, they rushed to the lakeside where the accident happened from all directions. Everyone saw the flower thief being rude to Chrysanthemum in broad daylight. Sisters Taohua and Juhua fought hard against the flower thief. Everyone shouted, "Smash the flower thief to death!" Stones and bricks flew towards the flower thief like raindrops. The flower thief saw that something was wrong and jumped into the river to escape.

After a few days, Juhua found that the chilblains on her hands were not very painful anymore, and the redness and swelling had also subsided a little. After seeing it, her elder sister Taohua said, "Sister, it seems that this saxifrage can cure your frostbite." So Juhua picked some saxifrage, mashed it into juice, and rubbed it on the frostbite, and the frostbite was cured. Later, when the villagers got frostbite, they collected the juice of saxifrage and rubbed it on their skin, and their skin became soft and smooth.
