What is the lily flower language? Interpreting the symbolism and meaning of lilies

The lily has long been known as the "fairy in cloud garments." Because of its elegant and pure appearance, Catholicism adopted the lily as a symbol of Mary, while the Vatican and France use the lily as their national flower. The lily bulb is formed by scales wrapped around one another, carrying the meaning of "harmony for a hundred years" and "all things according to one's wishes." In China it has been regarded since ancient times as an indispensable auspicious flower for weddings.

The lily carries the meaning of harmony for a hundred years and signifies deep blessings. People blessed by this flower have a pure and innocent character and are showered with affection by everyone. However, this alone is not enough to pass through life peacefully; one must possess self-control and resist outside temptations in order to preserve a purity that remains unstained. But in Japan, the lily has another meaning, and that is "cutting off the head."
