Classical language for describing sunflower flowers

Growing in the shadow of an ancient wall,

The garden is deserted and the trees are deep.

Have you ever been exposed to rain and dew,

Don't change your mind

Eternal sunflower

Sunflower, when it comes to it, always reminds people of it. Is it hope? Is it the sun? Is it passion? Is it crazy? Is it clumsy? Is it a nobleman? Or glory? When you walk in the street, in the corner of your eye, you will find it everywhere. Gallery, bar, graffiti wall ... We saw its tall flower disk and stretched leaves-even if it withered in the broken leaves, it was beautiful, silently depicting the brilliance of the sun. Its earliest value should be traced back to the early life of American residents, and it flourished in this vast land. It was not until Columbus discovered the New World in the15th century that sunflowers were transported across the Atlantic from the American continent to Europe by a Spanish expedition, and then introduced to China, India and Japan. After visiting Western Europe, Peter the Great brought it back to Russia and planted it on a large scale in the19th century. Today, it has become the national flower of Russia. The name of sunflower is the highest praise given to this noble and tall plant by Swedish naturalist Carolas. It rises and sets with the sun, just like the eternal worship of the sun. In Greek, it means "helianthus annus", which is a combination of "helianthus" (sun) and "annus" (flower). It inherits rich symbolic meanings and becomes a symbol of loyalty and disloyalty. Even if you know that there is no return, you are grateful. It is a great piety that sings the legend of botany and flowers to this day. The Latin poet Ovid quoted the story of Crety and Apollo in his book Metamorphosis. In the story, Clarity, who was originally a narcissus god, secretly loves Apollo, the sun god, but she is in pain because of her wishful thinking. The gods turned her into another flower and could follow the sun god for life. This kind of flower is called sunflower. This is a new symbol that Renaissance humanists found for this story. However, this also caused the long-term confusion of Helias, the sun god in Greek mythology. According to records, "Helias is the last generation of Apollo. Every day, he rides a golden carriage pulled by four horses across the sky from east to west. He has a glowing golden disc to stimulate his solar energy. Helias is the incarnation of the sun god, walking the same way as the sun, and Apollo is his bright and warm representative. " But centuries later, Apollo became the agent of Helias, and Helias became the name of the flower that followed the sun. Another legend is in China. In ancient times, there was a farmer's daughter named Ming Gu, who was simple and handsome, but was abused by her jealous stepmother. After the conflict between Ming Gu and her stepmother, her eyes were gouged out by her angry stepmother. After the death of Ming Gu, there were yellow flowers facing the sun in front of her grave all day. This is a sunflower. This kind of flower symbolizes the yearning for light. Only these, sunflower is enough to become the leader of flowers. From the end of16th century to the beginning of17th century, sunflowers were endowed with many religious meanings. Therefore, it is regarded as a symbol of eternity, loyalty, pride and gratitude. At that time, the popular flower collection in the Netherlands listed it as one of the rarest and most elegant flowers. At the same time, in the field of painting, sunflowers also play a major role as props. For example, in The Vase and the Monkey, sunflower is in harmony with grapes (wine symbolizing Eucharist), pomegranate (symbolizing death and resurrection) and a chained monkey (symbolizing the nature of controlled animals), and its central position shows its eternal faith. (3) In many paintings, it shows the position of return given by the belief in life. However, when capitalism completely controlled Europe, sunflowers were considered as humble and vulgar plants because they were too rough and common. In Vanity Fair, the author uses the roughness and yellow of sunflowers to compare the vulgarity of women. However, it continues to be loved by artists, who still see the incomparable grandeur and nobility of other flowers. The painter Qiao Naishi described it as "they always seem to be thinking", and designers and architects also used it as patterns on doors, curtains and pottery dresses. It is favored by the "aesthetic movement" with the supremacy of aestheticism. It once again ascended the princess throne of "noble taste" in fashion, forming sunflower culture. Wilde, Van Gogh and Ginsburg are all outstanding representatives of this culture. They worship sunflowers from different angles and in different ways, leaving us amazing spiritual wealth.
