What does flowerpower mean?

Power belongs to flowers (English: Flowerpower, also known as the power of flowers, power belongs to flowers or the spirit of power belongs to flowers) is the slogan of American anti-cultural activities from the end of the 1960s to the beginning of the 1970s, symbolizing passive resistance and nonviolence. It originated from the anti-Vietnam War movement. This slogan was put forward by allen ginsberg, an American beat poet, in 1965, and advocated opposing war by peaceful means. Hippies believe in symbolism. They wear embroidered and brightly colored clothes and flowers on their heads. They distribute flowers to the citizens, so they are called flower girl.

The power of flowers is a slogan, informal language. Originated in Berkeley, California, it is a symbol of the anti-Vietnam War movement. 1965165438+10 In October, allen ginsberg published an article entitled "How to Create a Parade/Wonder", in which he suggested that demonstrators should give "a lot of flowers" to police, media, politicians and bystanders. The purpose of using props such as flowers, toys, flags, candy, music, etc. is to turn the original anti-war assembly form into a street theater mode, so as to reduce the factors such as fear, anger, threats and so on, which have multiplied with the protests. In particular, allen ginsberg hopes to deal with the "ghost" of hell angels who support the war and threaten violence to disrupt the anti-war demonstrations held at the University of California, Berkeley. Allen ginsberg's method made the protest get positive attention, and made The Power of Flowers an indispensable symbol of the anti-cultural movement.

In the late period of 1966, the power belonged to Wall and spread from California to other parts of the United States in the form of guerrilla theater. The Bread and Puppet Theatre distributed balloons and flowers and their anti-war literature during many protests in new york. Non-violence Workshop is a magazine published by activists in new york, which encourages the use of the slogan "Power belongs to flowers". 1967 in may, abbie hoffman organized a flower group as an official parade to celebrate the Vietnam war soldiers in new york city. News reports showed that members of flower groups holding flowers, flags and pink posters with the word "love" were attacked and beaten by onlookers. In response to violence, abbie hoffman wrote in the Workshop on Non-violence: "We plan to plant daffodils in Donghe. Surround the inauguration center with a series of dandelions ... "The Power of Flowers" has aroused national repercussions. We will not wither. "

1967 In May, on the following Sunday, the nonviolent workshop declared Military Day as "Flower Power Day" and held a rally in Central Park to oppose the traditional parade. Few people attended the rally. According to Abby Abby Hoffman, the rally is invalid because the street mobile phone drama is far more antagonistic than the rally.

1967 10, abbie hoffman and Jerry Rubin helped organize the invasion of the Pentagon and created a dramatic scene with the concept of the power of flowers. The idea includes calling on demonstrators to try to float the Pentagon. When the marchers met a roadblock composed of 2,500 National Guard soldiers in front of the Pentagon, they put flowers in the barrels of soldiers' rifles.

Leave it to future generations.

The iconic center of the power of flowers is the Hite Ashbury district in San Francisco, California. By the middle of1960s, the crossroads of Hite Ashbury had become the focus of psychedelic rock music. Many musicians and bands, such as Jefferson Machine (Jefferson? Plane), Grateful Dead and Dzhanis Joplin all live near the intersection.
