What is the meaning of hibiscus (the flower language and legend of hibiscus)

Hibiscus, also known as Zhu Jin, can be divided into single petals and double petals. Because its leaves are like mulberry leaves and flowers are like peony, it is also called mulberry leaf peony. It is an evergreen shrub, about 1-3 meters high, and can bloom all year round as long as the temperature is suitable. It is the national flower of Malaysia, but its origin is China. There are more than 3,000 species in the world, most of which are Hawaiian, but few species are planted in China.

Because "Fusang" and "mourning" are homophonic, it is easy to cause misunderstanding, so try to avoid sending hibiscus flowers when sending flowers.

Lotus flower language: fresh love, implicit beauty, meaning exquisite, clean and shy.

The legend of lotus:

This is a Japanese legend. In a village, a man named A Dai had a dream. I dreamed that forty-nine hibiscus flowers were planted in the temple on the other side of the island, and an altar of gold was buried under the safflower tree. The next day, A Dai couldn't wait to sail to the other side of the island. Forty-nine hibiscus flowers were planted in the temple. However, it was already late autumn, and the flowers were out of sight, so A Dai had to stay and wait for the flowers to bloom in spring. In a blink of an eye, winter goes and spring comes, and hibiscus flowers are in full bloom, but they are all yellow flowers. A Dai didn't find the one with the red flowers. The monks in the temple also told him that they had never seen red hibiscus flowers, so A Dai went back in frustration.

There is a man named Artu in the village. Knowing this, he bought the dream from A Dai with a few pence. Artu also went to the island and found the temple. It's autumn again, and Artu is alive, waiting for flowers to bloom. The next spring, hibiscus bloomed as usual, but the miracle happened at this time. Sure enough, a hibiscus flower has a wonderful red flower. Artu excitedly dug up an altar of gold under the tree. Later, Artu became the richest man in the village.

I think this story mainly tells people that perseverance is the premise of success. If A Dai believes in his dream, as long as he persists, this altar of gold is his.
