Flowers on the other side, the gentleness of the devil. Legend has it that the flower that voluntarily went to hell was sent back by many demons, but it still lingered on the road of death. The demons couldn't bear it, so they agreed to let her drive on this road to guide and comfort the souls who left the human world.
This kind of flower is a manzhu sand flower, and the red flower is also called the other side flower, also called the red spider lily. People call it "grass can't see flowers." In Japan, it is called "マンジュシャゲ" and pronounced as "the beauty of separation/sadness/misfortune/death".
According to legend, this flower only blooms on the dead, and it is generally considered to be a flower that only blooms on the other side of the Santu River and the Forgetting River in the underworld. Flowers are as red as blood, paving the way to hell. There are flowers without leaves, and they are the only flowers in the underworld. The legend of floral fragrance has magic power, which can arouse the memory of the deceased before his death. This flower blooms in large numbers on the road of death. From a distance, it looks like a carpet paved with blood. It is called "the road of fire" because it is as red as fire, and it is also the only scenery and color on this long road of death. When the soul crosses the river of forgetfulness, it forgets everything before its death and everything that once stayed on the other side. Under the guidance of this flower, the deceased leads to the prison of the underworld.
The flower on the other side belongs to Lycoris herb, and its common name is the name of the goddess of the sea in Greek mythology. The characteristic of Lycoris radiata is that it can't see the leaves when it blooms, and it can't see the flowers when it has leaves. Flowers and leaves don't meet, so there is a saying that "flowers on the other side, flowers on the other side, only flowers, no leaves". Miss each other, cherish each other forever, so that flowers and leaves will never meet, but also have the sad meaning of never meeting.
The name Manzhushahua comes from the Sanskrit "Mahamanzhushahua", which means the flower in the sky, the big red flower, and one of the four auspicious flowers falling from the sky. Buddhist scriptures also say that Shuman Shahua (Shuman Shahua) is a flower in the sky, white and soft. If you see this flower, evil will be removed. Buddhism believes that tea is the last blooming flower in the flower season. When it comes to tea, there are only flowers blooming on the other side of the forgotten past life. Buddhist scripture records that "the flowers on the other side bloom for a thousand years and fall for a thousand years, and flowers and leaves will never meet." Love is not cause and effect, fate is doomed to life and death. "
