Legends about azaleas
1。
The azaleas are very beautiful. Tubular flowers have many colors, such as crimson, reddish, rose, purple and white. When azaleas are in full bloom in spring, the mountains are full of bright colors, like rosy clouds surrounding the forest, which is known as "the beauty in flowers". Colorful azaleas arouse people's warmth and beautiful feelings for life, and also symbolize the prosperity of the country and the happy life of the people. This is the true meaning of our people's love for cuckoo.
According to legend, ancient Shu was a peaceful and prosperous country. There is fertile land, rich products, people have no worries about food and clothing, and their lives are very happy.
However, the carefree and rich life makes people slowly become lazy. They lead a drunken life all day, whoring and gambling, indulging in pleasure, and sometimes even forgetting the time of sowing.
The emperor of Shu was named Du Yu. He is a very responsible and diligent king. He loves his people very much. He was worried when he saw others forget to return with joy. In order not to miss the farming season, he runs around every spring sowing season, urging people to sow quickly and seize the spring.
However, in this way, year after year, people have formed the habit of Du Yu not coming and not sowing.
Finally, Du Yu broke down from overwork and bid farewell to his people. But he still can't forget the people. His soul becomes a bird. Every spring, he flies around and gives a loud cry: Quick, quick. Cry till your mouth is full of blood. Bright red blood dripped all over the mountain and turned into beautiful flowers.
People were moved. They began to learn from their good monarch Du Yu and became diligent and conscientious. They call this bird cuckoo and this flower blood azalea.

China is the earliest country to cultivate azaleas in the world, and its history can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, when azaleas were called "Shan Shiliu", "Yingshanhong" and "Red Drift". Together with Primula and Gentiana macrophylla, Rhododendron is also called "the three famous flowers in China", and Rhododendron is also ranked among them.
There are many legends about azaleas in China, and the poems and paintings of literati in past dynasties have added charming colors to azaleas. The famous poet Bai Juyi wrote: "Looking back, peaches and plums are colorless and hibiscus is not a flower." This is a high praise for azaleas.
How did the azaleas come from?
Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a small village in the Yellow River Mountain in the southern suburbs of Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province. There is a beautiful river in front of the village, which can reach the Yangtze River. Everyone in the village lives by farming and hunting.
There are two families living by the river. In the east, there is a young man named Liu, named Liu You. Every time he goes out, he brings something special. This is a platoon. As long as he blows, it will attract many beautiful colorful birds hovering over his head. He often catches some bugs to feed birds, and birds often bring some exotic flowers and plants to Liu E, and they become good friends. These exotic flowers and herbs are precious medicinal materials, and Liu Hu often gives them to the poor in the village for treatment.
Besides, there lived a family named Wang on the west side of the river, and the mother and daughter lived alone. My mother is blind and life is inconvenient. She relies on her daughter cuckoo to weave, weave and sell cloth to earn money to support her family. Xunzi is smart, clever and beautiful, and most importantly, she is handy. The woven cloth is beautiful and durable, and she is kind-hearted and often helps some families who are poorer than herself. Cuckoo can also sing, and the song is euphemistic like a lark. As long as the cuckoo sings, the azaleas under the Yellow Crane Mountain will bloom, full and gorgeous. Liu Gu and Du Yu * * * drink a river and live by the river. They are childhood friends. They often sing and sing, attracting hundreds of birds to fly around, and azaleas are competing to open.
The emperor heard that Du Fu could not only sing, but also weave, and was beautiful, so he couldn't wait to make an imperial edict and named Du Fu into the palace. So, the county uncle went straight to the Yellow River Mountain with a large group of officials. When I arrived at the Yellow River Mountain, wherever I went, it turned out that Liu Gu and Du Fu were echoing each other. Uncle Jun explained his purpose and refused. He called several leaders to knock at the door. Liu Gu was so anxious that he jumped down from the place where Xiao blew to protect the cuckoo. At this time, several officials rushed up. They grabbed their hands, grabbed their feet and hugged Liu E tightly. Liu E can only worry. Poor cuckoo, frail and sickly, was taken away by those peak-like officials. She walked all the way, shouting, "Liu, help me! Help me! ..... "Liu Geng was so worried that he had to watch the cuckoo being abducted.
Liu Geng has been on tenterhooks every day and night since the son was taken away. Juanzi's mother cried every day and every night, making her eyes even more blind. Liu Hu thought: Even if I go through fire and water, I will get the cuckoo back. So he helped Du Fu's mother settle down and set off early the next morning with his beloved Paixiao. He climbed 998 1 mountain, waded 998 1 river, bypassed 998 1 bay, and finally reached the imperial city.
Besides, after Cuanzi was arrested in the palace, the emperor repeatedly importuned him, and his hands and feet did not listen to him. Cuanzi hated his old son, and no matter what the emperor said, Cuanzi ignored him. It was he who sent people into his house. He separated himself from Liu Geng. Thinking of this, she picked up a stool and threw it at the emperor's head. The emperor didn't take advantage at all, but was beaten to pieces and scared to run away. From then on, the cuckoo did not eat or drink, and gradually became emaciated and gaunt. At this time, the emperor didn't even look at her, let alone ordered her to go. Cuckoo just lies in bed waiting to die.
Before Liu Geng came to the palace, he didn't know where Du Yu was, let alone that Du Yu was dying. And there are guards everywhere, and there are high walls everywhere, so he has no chance to go in and look for cuckoo. When he was in a hurry, he suddenly accidentally touched the flute with his right hand, so he had an idea. He quickly tied a kite, tied the flute behind the kite, and then he put the kite into the sky. When the kite flew in the sky, he put the line longer and longer, and the phoenix Zheng Fei passed the palace. Du Fu heard Xiao's cry. Du Yu lay groggy in bed. When she heard the familiar Xiao Sheng and knew that Liu Gu had come to see her, she struggled to sit up and sang the songs of Liu Gu's familiar hometown. After hearing this sad and touching song, Liu Geng was both happy and sad. Happily, Juanzi knew he was coming to see her, but sadly, he and Juanzi were blocked by the thick palace wall. I can only watch her suffer, but I can't save Juanzi from her pain. Liu Gu's heart is like a knife.
So Liu Geng leaned against the palace wall and cried. He just stared at the sky without eating or drinking, and gradually he couldn't support it. Later, he became a colorful little black. The bird flapped its wings, jumped over the high palace wall, flew to the cuckoo's side and called to the cuckoo. Cuckoo reached out to touch the bird and said, "Wuer, bird, if only you could take me out!" " Say that finish vomiting blood, spit out the blood turned into a beautiful azalea, Du Yu's body also slowly turned into a azalea, birds with this azalea, flew out of the palace, has been flying to the Yellow River Mountain, planted this azalea in front of Du Yu. Since then, there have been beautiful azaleas, but the most beautiful one is the one that azaleas have become. This kind of flower has five petals and a green bead in the center, which is called "five treasures green bead". This is a precious azalea.
Many years later, a temple called Helin Temple was built here. There is a very beautiful flower stand in the temple called Du Fu Tai. Du Fu Tai planted a variety of azaleas, and "Five Treasures and Green Beads" were transplanted to Du Fu Tai. Among these flowers, Bloom is more charming and moving. Every morning and evening, there are always a group of colorful birds flying over the flower stand, and one of them always likes to turn around the "five treasures and green beads", and this black bird's voice is particularly sad, just like that blown by Petty Pie. It is said to be Liu Geng.

Legend has it that there was an emperor in ancient Shu named Du Yu, who had extraordinary feelings for his queen. Later, he was killed by traitors. His soul became a cuckoo, crying and wailing in the queen's garden every day. The tears it shed were drops of red blood, which dyed the beautiful flowers in the queen's garden red, so later generations called it azalea.
When the queen heard the cuckoo cry and saw the deep red blood, she realized that it was her husband's soul. In grief, she cried day and night,' Your son is expensive, your son is expensive', and finally died of depression. Her soul turned into a burning azalea, which bloomed with the cuckoo in Shan Ye. Therefore, this kind of rhododendron is also known as single warbler red, which is the allusion of cuckoo crying and Zigui mourning. Shu has heard of Zigui bird and Xuancheng has seen azaleas. The love of flowers and birds in this life is an immortal legend.
2. The flower language of kapok is: cherish the people around you! It is also a flower of heroes.
The flower language of azaleas: representing the joy of love. It is said that people who like this kind of flowers are innocent.
In the ancient cuckoo myth, Du Yu, the king of Shu, was forced to give way to his courtiers and live in seclusion in the mountains. After his death, his soul became a cuckoo. Therefore, the cuckoo in ancient poetry has become a symbol of desolation and sadness. Li Bai's "I heard that Wang Changling moved to the left, and Long Biaoyao had this letter": "Huayang fell to the ground and Wendao Longdu crossed five streams. I am worried about the bright moon, and I will go to Yelangxi with the wind. " The cuckoo is a kind of bird. The first sentence is the scene of the eyes, which conveys the feeling of parting and sadness in the bleak natural scenery. Three or four sentences express infinite nostalgia and deep sympathy for friends with the rich imagination of caring for the bright moon. He Zhu, a poet of the Song Dynasty, wrote "Remembering Qin E": "In the middle of the night, pear blossoms and snow just fell in the atrium; Pear blossoms are overwhelming, and azaleas cry blood. " In the middle of the night, the moonlight shines on the snow-white pear flowers in the courtyard, and the cuckoo is mourning, which makes people miss their loved ones more and makes their hearts ache. Poets express their deep homesickness by describing sad scenery. Others, such as "The lonely pavilion is cold in spring, and the cuckoo sounds in the sunset" (Walking on the sand), "Zi Gui still cries blood in the middle of the night, but he can't call it back if he doesn't believe in the east wind" (Ling's "Sending the Spring"), all express his sadness or homesickness with the cuckoo's mourning.
