What does kapok symbolize?

First, heroes

Kapok is also called hero flower. Because although the color is bright red, it is not tacky, and simple patterns are more indomitable. The safflower on the tree, like a warm blood, dyed the treetops red. And the flowers will not fade after falling, and will not fade. They have heroic integrity.

Second, the object of admiration.

Kapok is widely used in Xishuangbanna and is deeply loved by the local Dai people. Its fruit can be used not only to make pillows and mattresses, but also to grow flowers and make delicious dishes. In addition, in Dai songs, lovely young people are also praised as kapok trees, showing off their height to each other.

Third, cherish happiness.

The flower language of kapok is to cherish happiness and cherish the people around you. Although its flowering period is one month, it only takes about 12- 15 days for a single flower to bloom and fail. So beautiful but so short, people can know how to cherish the people around them and their hard-won happiness.
