Can I send peach blossoms during the Spring Festival in 2017? What does sending peach blossoms represent?
Introduction: During the Spring Festival, many families will place some plants or flowers to decorate their homes to enhance the New Year atmosphere and refresh the Feng Shui pattern. Some people also give flowers to friends as New Year gifts. So, can we send peach blossoms during the Spring Festival? What does sending peach blossoms mean? Now, let’s follow the editor to take a look. In addition to the grand and festive celebrations of the Spring Festival, we also need to pay attention to some taboos regarding the Spring Festival. Next, let’s take a closer look at the Spring Festival special topic compiled by Mr. Shui Mo!What is the meaning of sending peach blossoms during the Spring Festival?In ancient society, people generally believed that ghosts and gods existed in the world. So on Lunar New Year's Day (the first day of the first lunar month), every household across the country would hang something called "peach charms" outside their doors to ward off ghosts and protect the house.There are two theories about the origin of the peach tree in ancient legends. Some people say that the peach tree was formed from the dispersion of the Yuheng star; others say that the peach tree was formed from Kuafu's walking stick. The legend goes that Kuafu was extremely thirsty while chasing the sun, so he drank from the Yellow River and the Wei River, but the water from the Yellow River and the Wei River was not enough to quench his thirst. Kuafu wanted to go north to drink from the Big Lake, but he died of thirst before he reached the lake. He left behind his walking stick, which turned into a peach forest. It is also said that there was a big peach tree on Mount Dushuo, under which lived two brothers, Shentu and Yulei. The two brothers were so strong that lions and leopards did not dare to raise their heads when they saw them, and tigers would guard the forest for them. The two brothers Shentu and Yulei stood under a peach tree, holding reed ropes, and specialized in catching evil spirits, which they would feed to the tiger. Because people believed that Shentu and Yulei could drive away evil spirits and catch ghosts, in ancient times people would paint images of Shentu and Yulei, or just write their names, on two peach wood boards and hang them on both sides of the door during festivals. This was the "Tao Fu". Later, people wrote couplets on peach wood boards, which is the origin of Spring Festival couplets. In modern society, with the popularization of scientific concepts, most people do not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, so "peach charms" are no longer popular, but many people are still accustomed to buying peach blossoms to take home during the New Year, but the purpose has changed a lot. Young people buy peach blossoms in the hope of good luck in love in the new year; most people buy peach blossoms for good intentions, because in addition to the symbolism of "prosperity and prosperity", "red peach" is homophonic with "ambitious plan", which also means "great ambition". No wonder peach blossoms are still very popular in modern society. Summary: Through the above article, we know the meaning of sending peach blossoms during the Spring Festival, which is quite good. You can use it as a reference. I wish everyone a happy, joyful and auspicious New Year! |
