What kind of image does red bean play in poetry?

Red beans, produced in Guangdong and Guangxi, also known as acacia, are shaped like peas and scarlet. The ancients often used it to symbolize love or acacia. Acacia red bean is a unique cultural product in China. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a man who went out to war, and his wife leaned against the big tree on the mountain day and night to pray; I cried under the tree because I missed my lover in frontier fortress. When the tears dried up, bright red blood dripped out. Blood drops turn into red beans, take root and sprout, grow into trees and be full of red beans, which people call acacia beans. Day after day, I went to Qiu Lai in spring. The fruit of the big tree, along with the miss in the girl's heart, has gradually become the most beautiful red heart-shaped seed on the earth-acacia beans.

Therefore, red beans act as the image of acacia in poetry.
