Lilac has the title of the flower of heaven, perhaps because of its noble smell, which has been cherished by people since ancient times. Legend has it that people blessed by lilacs are protected by the gods. Smart, but likes to take shortcuts. On the way to the ideal, sometimes you will forget the original purpose.
The bud of lilac is called lilac knot. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shangyin wrote in his poem, "Bananas don't show lilac knots, but they are worried about the same spring breeze." He used unexpanded banana and lilac knots to express his thoughts about Iraqis. Later, many people used lilac knots as a symbol of sad thoughts. Of course, clove, as a traditional flower arrangement in China, also symbolizes the hope and secret knot of love.

One legend is that ...
Lilac is the flower of love, and there is a touching story in ancient times.
In ancient times, a young scholar went to Beijing to take an exam. It was getting late, and he stayed in a small shop by the road. The shop is run by father and daughter, and it is very enthusiastic. The scholar thanked them very much for their hospitality and stayed in the shop for a few more days. The shopkeeper's daughter, a student, is virtuous and knowledgeable, and has a good impression on her. The scholar saw that the girl was beautiful, smart and capable, and she liked it very much. Two people swear Yue Bai under heaven and earth, the heart is tilted.
Then the girl wanted to test the scholar and suggested that she should be right. The scholar did not think twice: cold wine, one o'clock, two o'clock and three o'clock. Just as the girl was about to speak, the shopkeeper came in and saw that the two had privately agreed for life. She was very angry. The girl cried and said that they really loved each other and asked her father to fulfill it, but the shopkeeper refused. The girl was strong-willed and killed.
The shopkeeper buried her daughter on the back hillside according to her last wish. The scholar was heartbroken and could no longer seek fame. He stayed in the shop with his father-in-law, and Weng Xu lived a miserable life.
Soon, the girl's grave was covered with lilac trees, and the fragrance was overflowing. The scholar was surprised. Every day, he goes up the mountain to see lilacs. One day, an old man passed by and said, this is the bottom line from the girl. "Cold wine, one, two, three; Lilacs, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand. "
In order to remember this innocent and kind girl and respect her indomitable noble sentiment for love, later generations regarded lilacs as the flower of love and called the "married couple" as "life and death couple", which has been passed down to this day.
