Why Are the Flower Language and Legends of the Balloon Flower So Intriguing?

Introduction: Anyone who has watched Inuyasha knows that Kikyo is the name of the female protagonist in it. In daily life, the balloon flower is an ordinary flower, but it is also a medicinal herb in traditional Chinese medicine. The flower language and legends of the balloon flower have long been passed down among the people, and thus an intriguing story unfolds. Now let's take a look at her legends and flower language together.

Long ago, in a certain village lived a young girl named Kikyo. Kikyo had no parents and lived alone at home. However, there was a young boy who came to see Kikyo every day and said: "Kikyo, when I grow up, I want to marry you." "When I grow up, I also want to marry you." And so the two made a promise.

A few years later, Kikyo had grown into a beautiful young lady, and the boy had grown into a handsome young man, and the two became a couple. But in order to catch fish, the young man had to take a big boat to a faraway place. "Kikyo! You must wait for me, I will definitely come back." Finally the day came for the young man to leave. "Remember, you must come back, I will wait for you, goodbye." The young man set off toward the sea, going farther and farther away, and Kikyo wept without stopping.

However, the young man Kikyo loved did not return even after ten years, and the more Kikyo looked at the sea, the sadder she became. Therefore, she decided to temporarily go to the temple and said, "Master, please teach me the method to calm my heart." "Namo Amitabha, to understand these things you must first empty your heart, and not be entangled by the bonds of fate in your heart."

Kikyo resolved to do so, but she could never forget that young man no matter what, so she always ran to the seaside. Thus several decades passed, and Kikyo had already become an old woman. Looking at the sea, Kikyo thought of the young man who never returned, and shed tears. Kikyo's eyes slowly closed, and her body turned into a flower. Later, people called that flower the balloon flower. The balloon flower gazes at the sea searching for the young man. Therefore the flower language of the balloon flower became: sincere and unchanging love.
