2. Object of admiration: The kapok tree also symbolizes an object of admiration. It is widely used in the Xishuangbanna region, where a young person one admires is often praised as a kapok tree, highlighting the other person's tall and upright stature and expressing a feeling of admiration.

3. Cherishing happiness: The flower language of the kapok tree is cherishing happiness and cherishing the people around you. Its flowering period lasts one month, but from blooming to fading takes only half a month. Although the flowers are very beautiful, they are so brief, serving as a warning for us to cherish the happiness around us, because happiness does not come easily.
