The bauhinia is the city flower of Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, there is a story about the Bauhinia flower: more than a hundred years ago, Hong Kong residents tried their best to resist the British invasion, resulting in the sacrifice of countless martyrs.
Afterwards, people built a large tomb in Guijiao Mountain to bury the martyrs who sacrificed their lives. Later, a tree with purple-red flowers grew on Guijiao Mountain, and the flowers bloomed especially around Qingming Festival. People named it Bauhinia to commemorate those martyrs who sacrificed their lives.
5. "Linjiang Immortal·Red Sleeve Black Silk Loss of Wine" - Song Dynasty: Peng Yuanxun
Red sleeves of black silk lose wine, and gold hairpins and silver candles disappear in spring. It's early morning under the peach trees beside the willow. The wind in the hat makes the horse spin, and the fan rain blows the flowers.
The White Emperor is in the sky and is surprised by the old song, and Yang Guan only dreams of travelers. Where can I recognize Fangchen in Biyun? Bauhinia flowers make pods, and green apricot kernels make kernels.
Translation: Red-sleeved black silk does not drink, gold hairpins and silver candles burn out the spring. It's early morning again under the peach blossoms beside the willow. The wind in the hat makes the horse spin, and the fan rain blows the flowers. Baidi City is empty and frightened, and Yangguan only dreams of people walking. Where can I recognize Fangchen in Biyun? Redbud flowers make pods, and green almond kernels grow.
