What is the flower language and meaning of wisteria? Let us take you through its legend

I. Introduction to the flower language

Wisteria is a flower used to express love, and its flower language is mostly related to this. For example, "born for passion, dying for love," which is a love that defies death. Another example is "intoxicating romance, lingering longing," which is the sustenance between lovers separated by distance. There is also "devoted to you, the happiest moment," used to express one's love and happiness. In addition, it also represents "obsessive love."

II. Legend stories

According to legend, there was a girl in purple who longed for love. Every day she prayed to the Yue Lao, hoping to meet the man she admired. Moved by her sincerity, the Yue Lao appeared to her in a dream and told her: when spring comes and the flowers bloom, a man in white will wait for you in the locust tree forest on the back mountain; he is your destined one.

At last spring came, and the girl waited in the forest every day, staying until dark each time, yet her destined one never appeared. Until one day, as the sky gradually darkened and the girl was about to leave, she was bitten by a venomous snake and cried out in terror for help, and the one who came to save her was a man in white.

The two fell in love because of this, but the man's identity as an outsider was not accepted by the girl's parents. Yet their love was stronger than gold, and no one could tear them apart. In order to be together forever, they both died for love at the cliff.

After their death, a locust tree grew beneath the cliff, and a branch of wisteria was entwined around the tree. The wisteria lived by relying on the locust tree and would wither and die once separated from it. This is exactly its flower language: born for passion, dying for love.
