What are the legendary flowers? Inventory of the Eight Wonderful Flowers of Ancient Times with Pictures

As a beautiful plant in nature, the existence of flowers always brings people a positive and energetic feeling. We see many flowers in our daily life, and there are also some flowers that we have only seen in TV dramas, poems or fairy tales. So next, I will reveal the eight wonders of ancient flowers on this website. If you are interested, you may wish to read on. Look! The Eight Wonderful Flowers of Ancient Times

1. Saffron

As a must-have abortion medicine in palace dramas, saffron was once very popular. Saffron should actually be called crocus. Its native place is along the Mediterranean coast. If measured by weight, saffron is the most expensive spice in the world. Saffron was introduced to Tibet, China via India. People mistakenly thought saffron was produced in Tibet and called it saffron. The flower language and symbolic meaning of crocus: happiness, joy.

Saffron is rarely cultivated in China, has extremely low yield, and is time-consuming and laborious to harvest. It is listed as a rare and valuable Chinese medicinal material in our country. Saffron has a strong effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, dispersing depression and opening knots, and has been used clinically. As for abortion, if you are not exposed to a large amount of saffron for a long time, wearing a saffron sachet will not have any impact on the fetus.

2. Yushu

Chinese people often say "Yushu faces the wind" to describe handsome men. I guess most people have never seen the real Yushu. In fact, Yushu turns out to be not a tree, but a sedum. It's a pity that the name of Sedum and Yushu has been robbed by people called Sedum. Although sedum and sedum belong to the same family, they are still a little different. Sedum is domestic, while sedum is an immigrant from Africa.

3. Prophecy Flower

Born on the highest cliff beside the quiet sea in Ximing, it blooms once every hundred years. The petals are three-thirds and red as blood. If you drink the petals of this flower, you can It foresees the disaster that will happen to others, hence the name prophecy flower. A prophecy flower, a word becomes a prophecy. On the contrary, flowers destroy life. The prophecy flower never lies, she can accurately tell the disaster that a person will encounter. But everything has two sides. She can see how much life is left in a person. For example, when she honestly tells a person that you can only live ten years or only three days, then this fact is really something that even God cannot change. However, if she lies and tells the other person that you can live for another fifty years, then the other person's life will be rewritten and he can really live for another fifty years.

However, as a punishment that goes against their nature, the prophecy flower that tells such a lie will drop some of its petals. It should be on the body of the prophecy flower. In other words, she will lose a piece of flesh and blood. The more she extends the lifespan of others, the more her flesh and blood will fall off, until no piece of her body is left, disappearing into thin air. Therefore, since ancient times, magicians who wanted to obtain the prophecy flower partly wanted to use its petals to make a curse that would harm people, and partly wanted to use its petals to make a good medicine for longevity.

4. Hanxiao

I was initially interested in Hanxiao because its name is very special. Hanxiao belongs to the Magnoliaceae family, and the most distinctive feature of flowers in this family is their fragrance. Growing in the subtropical zone, it likes a warm and humid environment. The branches and leaves are full of green, and the flowers are full of ice and jade. As a precious fragrant flower plant, it is rich in nutrients, bioactive ingredients and natural plant essences. It can be used to make herbal tea, which has excellent beautifying and beauty effects. It also has antioxidant and calming effects.

5. Lv'e

In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", there is a woman named Gongsun Lv'e, who is timid and submissive. Although her fate is tragic, her feelings can be called It is the purest and flawless. Green calyx is actually the most mysterious type of existing ancient roses. Its cultivation was recorded as early as 1743. It is a variant of ancient Chinese roses. The petals of this flower are very similar to calyxes, which are mutated from layers of sepals, so the flower color is pure green like the leaves.

The color of the green calyx is like the green robe worn by Guan Yu during the Three Kingdoms period, so it is called "Emperor's Robe". In addition, it is also known as "Green Hydrangea". In the past, due to the strange flower shape and rare color of green calyx, it was not easy to propagate and cultivate. It is a rare variety among roses. Many rose variety gardens or garden units have preserved it as a variety and listed it as a garden treasure.

6. Manzhusava

Manzhusava, the red flower of the other shore, was invented by Indians. It means endless love, a precursor to death, and the call of hell. In Buddhist scriptures, Manzhu Shahua is the flower in the sky, the big red flower, and one of the four flowers that bring good luck from the sky. This flower is a welcoming flower that grows by the Santu River, sending people to the paradise on the other side. It is said that the fragrance of flowers has magical power and can evoke the memory of the deceased. In Japan, its flower language is "sad memories". The Chinese name of Manzhu Shahua is relatively unsophisticated, it is called Lycoris Lycoris. It was recorded as early as the Song Dynasty, when it was called "Dragon Claw Flower". Manchuria is a festive flower in China. It is often used as an ornamental flower and is also planted in courtyards. Only the red Lycoris is called manjushahua.

The mandala flower is often recorded in Buddhist classics. The white other shore flower symbolizes endless longing, desperate love, and letters from heaven. Legend has it that in the Buddhist Kingdom of Paradise in the West, heavenly music often sounds from the sky and the ground is decorated with gold. There is a very fragrant and beautiful flower called datura flower, which falls from the sky without interruption day or night, filling the ground with colors.

7. Snow lotus

Snow lotus, also known as Qiaguosuba in Tibetan, is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Asteraceae family. Its flower language is pure white love, tenacity, purity, and brings people Hope is also a symbol of holiness. It is not only a rare and rare flower, but also a world-famous rare Tibetan medicine. Snow lotus grows in the alpine mountains of Qinghai-Tibet and Xinjiang, and is a plant in the Asteraceae family. In martial arts novels, the freshly picked thousand-year-old snow lotus is like the elixir of the Supreme Laojun. It is a must-have product for traveling at home and turning into a miracle doctor instantly.

Nowadays, if a woman is called pure and pure, and is often compared to a snow lotus, the snow lotus in everyone's mind must be white and flawless. But when you see the true appearance of the snow lotus, you can't help but feel that it is just a gorgeous cabbage. However, as a rare good medicine, it does have its mysterious and rare features: it can activate blood circulation, disperse blood stasis, and eliminate swelling and toxins. It is mostly used by Han people to treat rheumatoid arthritis and bronchitis, while ethnic minorities use it to treat gynecological diseases.

8. Xiyan

In the popular TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan" aired in March 2012, the "love flower" between Prince Guo and Zhen Huan was the Xiyan flower. After the death of Prince Guo, Zhen Huan has been taking good care of and paying attention to those "Xi Yan Hua". The flower language of Xiyan is eternal love, which also symbolizes the pure love between Zhen Huan and Prince Guo. But maybe it’s just like that, or we can’t stay together for a long time, or the good time together just ends.

In fact, no one knows what kind of flowers Xiyan grows. Later generations of literati (some say Zhou Zuoren) speculated from the pile of old papers that Xiyan is the melon flower, or the gourd flower. It grows in the corner, blooms at dusk, and withers in the next morning. Therefore, no one appreciates it, so it is described as a life-threatening flower. The flower language of Xiyan is also closely related to this story.

However, now, there is another kind of flower also called Xiyan, and this is the moonlight flower. Like morning glory, moonflower is a trailing plant of the Convolvulaceae family with twining stems and looks similar. The difference is that because it is native to tropical America, moonflower only blooms at night, hence its beautiful name.

Maybe it is too similar to morning glory. Morning glory is also called morning glory by the Japanese, so it is called sunset beauty, right?

We have not seen some flowers in real life, but it does not mean that they do not exist.
