Appreciation of Epiphyllum Prose
I have never seen Epiphyllum bloom, and my understanding of Epiphyllum is limited to the sentence "a flash in the pan". I only know that Epiphyllum blooms at midnight, and the flowering period is only about 4-5 hours. Open in an instant, wither in an instant.
I searched the picture of Epiphyllum on Baidu, and it was really amazing. Readers have seen such words recording its blooming process: "There is a large moon-yellow epiphyllum called Queen of the Night. Every time it trembles, it makes a loud noise, like an embroidery needle pricking after being tightened. The sound of entering, all the delicate stamens were immediately shocked, and the sight often made people dare not look at it for a long time - after looking at it for a long time, they couldn't help but believe what the flower essence and flower soul said. "
Read. After finishing this paragraph, I couldn't help but be shocked by the passion and unrestrainedness of Epiphyllum. It blooms in the lonely night sky, regardless of whether there is anyone watching it, it just strives to capture the essence of life and show the brilliance and splendor of life. It does not need to be sensationalized or praised by the stars. It only needs to be true to itself, live alone in the country of all the flowers, and be in a world of one person. Even if it withers away in an instant, it will not be a pity. It is elegant and unconventional. It not only aims to escape the bustling surroundings, but also despises the bustle and prefers to be deserted.
What makes people respect it is not only its peerless and independent beauty, but also its strong and persistent temperament.
It is said that the night-blooming cereus on the same mother plant always blooms at the same time no matter when and where, just like two people who are closely connected, they always hold each other's hearts no matter when and where.
Epiphyllum blooms in the deserted night, like a poignant love story. It waits all its life and blooms in the most beautiful moment, not to win the praise of the world, but to sing for another soul in one person's world. For this reason, it does not hesitate to spend its whole life in darkness and loneliness, just for that moment of youth.
Epiphyllum is also called Veda flower, and it has a touching legend.
Legend has it that the epiphyllum is the most inconspicuous flower in the garden of heaven. One day, when she was almost blown off by the wind, a man in a white robe passed by and gently supported her, allowing her to escape. The man left, but just that glimpse, or even just that gentle support, made Epiphyllum unforgettable for the rest of his life.
Epiphyllum has been waiting for that man to come again. One thousand years have passed, two thousand years have passed, and it has not waited for him yet. Fairy Baihua told Epiphyllum that the man was Skanda Bodhisattva. Bodhisattva has no emotions and desires, and told him not to wait any longer.
I just want to see him again.
After thousands of years, Epiphyllum cultivated to perfection, and met the Skanda Bodhisattva at a heavenly conference. After the meeting, it followed Wei Tuo far and wide.
Wei Tuo asked Epiphyllum to go back and practice so that she could be ranked among the immortals in the future. Epiphyllum has waited for him for thousands of years and loved him for thousands of years, but all she got in exchange was his old age. It said to Veda: "I want to change my body once, just for you." The epiphyllum spent thousands of years of practice and bloomed its most beautiful one. Just for a moment, the flowers bloom and fall, and they appear short-lived.
At the moment when the epiphyllum disappeared, she saw the Bodhisattva shed a drop of tear.
It’s not that Veda is ruthless, but that you can’t be sentimental. He fell in love with it the first time he saw it, but he couldn't.
Although this is just a legend, it still moves people to tears.
Thousands of years of waiting and thousands of years of love, just to see Veda again. For this reason, it did not hesitate to give up thousands of years of practice, give up the opportunity to be among the immortals, spend all the essence of its life, and show the most beautiful youth to the people it loves.
The blooming of epiphyllum is bold and decisive, with wild posture and disdain to compete with other flowers for spring. It is just like the solemn and solemn farewell of a strong man who sacrifices his life without any regrets.
I fell in love with Epiphyllum, and I love people like Epiphyllum even more.
