Third, the legend of Manzhu Shahua

Legend 1

According to legend, a long time ago, the sky was full of large tracts of red flowers, and its fragrance was magical, reminding people of their past lives. The guardians of this flower are two goblins, one is a flower demon called Manzhu, the other is a leaf demon called Shahua. They have been waiting for thousands of years of the other shore flower, but have never met, because when blooming, there are no leaves, when there are leaves, there are no flowers. They miss each other crazily and are tormented by this pain. Finally, one day, they decided to meet secretly against God's rules. In that year, the red flowers of Manzhushahua were set off by eye-catching green and bloomed beautifully.

God blamed down, Manzhu and Shahua were driven into reincarnation, and cursed that they could never be together, and suffered in the world for generations to come. From then on, Manzhushahua is also known as the other shore flower, which means a flower blooming in heaven, and its flowers are shaped like palms that only pray to heaven. This kind of flower blossoms on the road of death. Every time Manzhu and Shahua smell the fragrance of the flowers on the other side of the road, they will think of themselves in the previous life, and then vow not to part and fall into the cycle of curse again in the next life.

Legend 2

It is said that after countless reincarnation, one day the Buddha came here and saw a flower on the ground with extraordinary bearing, and the flower on the other side of the demon was as red as fire. The Buddha came to it to watch carefully and saw the mystery only when he looked at it. The Buddha was neither sad nor angry. He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed three times. He reached out and pulled the flower out of the ground. The Buddha put the flowers in his hand and said with emotion, "you can't meet each other in the past life. After countless reincarnations, you can't be in love with each other. The so-called separation and reunion is just fate and death. You have the curse of Heaven, so that your fate is not scattered. Fate is not separated. I can't help you unlock this vicious mantra, so I'll take you to the other side and let you bloom all over the field."

On his way to the other bank, the Buddha passed the Santu River in the underworld and was accidentally wet with his clothes, and there was this red flower that the Buddha was carrying. When the Buddha came to the other bank to unwrap the flowers wrapped in his clothes, he found that the fiery flowers had become pure white. The Buddha meditated for a moment and laughed and said, "it is better to remember than to forget, right and wrong." how can you distinguish between right and wrong? The Buddha planted this flower on the other side and called it Mandala, and because it was on the other side, he called it the other shore flower.

But the Buddha did not know that when he was on the Santu River, the faded flowers of the river dripped all the red into the river, wailing all day long, smelling and sad. The Avatar of Dizang Bodhisattva was very sad. When he learned that Mandala had been born, he came to the river, took out a seed and threw it into the river. After a while, a red flower grew out of the water, and Dizang took it in his hand and sighed, "you get away and feel at ease." Why leave this boundless hatred in the already boundless hell? I ask you to be a guide messenger to guide them to reincarnation. Just remember your color. There is already Mandala on the other side, so I will call you Manzhu Shahua.

Since then, there have been two completely different kinds of flowers on the other side of the world, one growing on the other side and the other born on the bank of Qianchuan River.

Legend 3

It is said that the flowers on the other side only bloom in the dead springs, and it is generally believed that they only bloom by the river in the underworld and forget the other side of the river.

The flowers on the other side are as bright red as blood, covered with the road to hell, and have flowers without leaves. They are the only flowers in the underworld. The legend of the flowers on the other side is magical and can evoke the memories of the dead. There are a large number of flowers blooming on the Yellow Spring Road, which looks like a carpet made of blood from a distance, and is referred to as the "Fire Road" because it is as red as fire, and it is also the only scenery and color on this long road.

When the soul crosses the forgetful river, it forgets all the things that happened before, and everything has been left on the other side, and the dead follow the guidance of this flower to the prison of the underworld.

Interpretation of the meaning of Manzhu Shahua:

Manzhu Shahua (the other shore flower) lags behind in the flowers, Ye Caisheng, flowers and leaves can not be seen, so some people emotionally use it to describe fruitless love. But Buddhists say, "even if love does not bear fruit, flowers will still bloom on the other side." .

I have heard a saying: "the meaning of a person's life lies in his hope, unyielding and courage for life; if he loses hope, unyielding spirit and courage because of difficulties, setbacks and misfortunes encountered, what awaits him can only be pain, despair and decadence." The result is not the end, with hope and courage, just like the flowers that will still bloom on the other side. Love, career and life are all like this!

Difference 2: color difference

Manzhu Shahua: red other shore flower

Mandala: White Flower on the other side

When will Manzhushahua blossom?

Manzhushahua usually blossoms from July to September, and blossoms in July. At the same time, the other shore flower likes scattered light, does not like strong light, so the light is not too strong, to acid sandy permeable soil, bulbs generally take 2 to 3 years to blossom better.

Is Manzhu Shahua poisonous?

In addition to its gorgeous appearance, it is also a coexistence of poison and medicine. Although Manzhushahua is highly ornamental, the rhizome is poisonous, and the bulb contains alkaloid riclinum, which can cause vomiting, spasm and other symptoms, and has a significant impact on the central nervous system. Can not be eaten at will, but can be used for sedation, inhibition of drug metabolism and anticancer effect. Although it is toxic, the bulb can be eaten after treatment and is also used as a medicinal material.

7. How to grow Manzhu Shahua?

1. Temperature

Manzhushahua likes the warm climate, slightly cold-resistant, slightly heat-resistant, the optimum growth temperature is 15-25 degrees, the summer temperature is above 30 and the growth is limited, and the winter above 0 degrees can safely survive the winter.

2. Sunshine

Manzhu Shahua likes scattered light, does not like strong light, so the light should not be too strong; except for summer high temperature to properly shade, other seasons can be maintained in bright light, although shade-resistant, lack of light will lead to sparse flowering.

3. Moisture

Manzhu Shahua likes a humid environment, slightly resistant to drought and afraid of waterlogging. Spring and autumn is the main growing season, during which we should often irrigate to keep the soil moist, but not stagnant water to prevent the bulb from rotting. Summer and winter is the dormant season, to control the water, high temperature and humidity in summer and low temperature and humidity in winter will make the bulb rot.

4. Soil

Manzhushahua is not picky about the soil, and the loose and fertile humus soil is the best, but it is after all a southern flower, so the soil should be acidic, a little sandy, breathable and permeable.

5. Pruning

Manzhushahua should cut off the scape after flowering to reduce the loss of nutrients.

6. Change the basin

Flowering plants can be changed every spring after the weather warms up, retaining protective soil as far as possible, pruning branches and aging roots, applying sufficient organic fertilizer at the bottom of the basin, watering enough fixed root water after planting, shading treatment, keeping the basin soil moist without stagnant water, normal management after slow seedling.

"the other shore flower blossoms on the other side, but you can't see the leaves when the flowers bloom. When you have leaves, you can't see the flowers. The flowers and leaves don't meet each other. This is the best way to describe Manzhu Shahua.
