Jasmine Legend

1. It is said that in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Suzhou Huqiu lived with a peasant named Zhao. The couple and three sons lived in poverty. Zhao Laohan went out to make a living, settled in Guangdong Township, and came back every two or three years to see. Wife and son farm at home. As the child grew older, he divided the land into three sections, each of which was mainly planted with tea trees. One year Zhao Laohan returned home and brought back a bunch of flower saplings. He only said that this was a fragrant flower that the southerners liked. Zhao Laohan planted beside the eldest son's tea field, regardless of whether his son liked it or not. One year later, small white flowers bloomed on the tree, which, although fragrant, did not arouse much interest from the villagers. One day, the Zhao family's son was surprised to find that the tea branch had the aroma of small white flowers. Then inspected the whole tea field, all with fragrance. He quietly picked a basket of tea and tried it in Suzhou City. Unexpectedly, this fragrant tea was so popular that it was sold out in a while. This year the eldest son made a fortune selling fragrant tea, and the news finally spread. After the two younger brothers learned about it, they found out that his brother's fragrant tea was caused by the fragrant flowers grown by his father. The brothers were always noisy, the two younger brothers had to forcibly destroy the fragrant flowers.

There is an old hermit in the town, Dai Dai, revered by the masses. The three brothers of the Zhao family went to Dai's house and asked him to comment. Dai said, "The three of you are close brothers. They should be intimate. In the future, you will have to get married and have children. Parents, not just for a little bit of immediate benefit, are split up. The fragrant tea that my brother found sells more money. This is a great thing, and the whole family should be happy. The God of Wealth has entered your house, but you fight instead. How can there be such a stupid thing? You know where the God of Wealth is, these fragrant flowers. You must reproduce and develop these fragrant flowers, each in the tea field. Everybody is planted with fragrant flowers, and all the brothers sell fragrant tea, and everyone is rich. Your fragrant flowers have a name, and the bad guys want to steal it. What should I do? Brothers take care of the shift, this must be united. If you are all selfish, do nt Everyone's interests come first. Where can things go? In order for you to remember me, I will give a name for your fragrant flower, called Malihua, which means to do things for others, and put personal personal interests at the end. The three brothers were moved by Master Dai's words. After returning home, we live in harmony and work in unity. Everyone gets richer every year.

Later, Suzhou Jasmine became a famous local product. After many years, Suzhou Jasmine Tea has become famous. Malihua was written as jasmine, which was changed by the literati for the beauty of the glyph. However, the meaning of Mali is still retained in the masses.

2. A famous prostitute in Suzhou in the Tang Dynasty had a prostitute named Zhenniang. From a young age, she was clever and charming, she was good at singing and dancing, she worked in piano and chess, and was good at painting and calligraphy. In order to escape the chaos of Anshi, with his parents fleeing south, he was separated from his family on the road and fled to Suzhou, where he was lured to Shantang Street's "Leyun Tower" brothel. Because of her beauty, she soon became famous, but she only sold art, she didn't sell her body, she was like a jade. At that time, there was a wealthy child named Wang Yinxiang in Sucheng, with good character and a few talents. He prefers the true mother in the Qinglou, who wants to marry her as a wife. Since she was a child, she had been dominated by her parents. With a marriage, she had to decline it politely. Wang Yinxiang still gave up and bought the old lady with heavy money, and wanted to stay at the real mother. Zhenniang felt that it was already difficult to disobey, and for the virginity festival, she hanged herself. After Wang Yinxiang learned about it, he was sorrowful and extremely sad. He buried his true mother in Huqiu, a famous place of worship, and carved a monument to commemorate it. He planted a tree on the tomb, known as the "flower grave", and vowed never to marry again. Every time the literati had passed through the tomb of the true mother, he could not help but be in love with the peers, and wrote poems on the tomb.

It is said that Jasmine had no fragrance before the death of the true mother, and its soul was attached to the flower after death. Since then, Jasmine has a fragrance, so it is called Jasmine, and Jasmine Tea is also called Fragrant Soul Tea.

Jasmine Abroad

After independence, the Philippines was administered by the United States, and in the early days it surrendered to the Spaniards. During the Spanish rule,

Jasmine ^[3]

There were revolutionaries who were unwilling to be invaded. One of the passionate volunteers, named La Gangjialin, resolutely participated in the patriotic action and said goodbye to his girlfriend Li Wanwan, "Dear, if I am unfortunately bloody, I hope you will not be sad or forget me. Please pray for me all the time "" I will! I swear I will love you forever! "Li Wanwan also expressed her heart.

Unfortunately, the Spaniard's strong guns quickly shattered the wishes of Filipino philosophers. La Gangjialin also donated for the country. Li Wanwan was so sad that she washed her face with tears every day, so her body was not as good as a day, and finally she disappeared. After my friend buried her, I did not expect that the cemetery would grow a white flower that had never been seen before. It was jasmine. This story has been passed down to the people, so Jasmine lives deeply in the hearts of the Filipinos.

On February 1, 1943, Governor Mo Fei in the Philippines, after several considerations, announced the selection of jasmine as the flower of the Philippines; after the Filipinos became independent and autonomous, the country of the thousand islands still designated jasmine, which symbolizes purity and eternal love, as the national flower.
