The moral of pomegranate
Perhaps because pomegranate is a product of the combination of Chinese and foreign countries, many poems sung by famous artists in past dynasties have formed a unique pomegranate culture. Pomegranate has many beautiful names: Tanruo, Wodan, Jinbiao and so on. Dan means red. Pomegranate flowers are red, peach, orange, pink, white and other colors, with fiery red as the most, so the color left to people is fiery red. May of the lunar calendar is the brightest season for pomegranate flowers, so May is also called "Liu Yue". The flower god of Liu Hua in May is the legendary ghost king Zhong Kui. As for the folk portrait of Zhong Kui, there is a brilliant red pomegranate flower in his ear, which shows that Zhong Kui, who has a hot personality, is a pomegranate flower god like fire. Although it is the poetic imagination of the ancients, it is also the most appropriate. In the "subject-object" theory of flower arrangement in Ming Dynasty, pomegranate is always listed as one of the flower owners, called the flower owner, supplemented by gardenia, hollyhock, doll chrysanthemum, carnation, crape myrtle and so on. These flowers are called flower visitors or flower messengers, more like concubines and ladies-in-waiting, which shows the ancient people's admiration for pomegranate. Pomegranate flowers and fruits are beautiful, red and lovely, sweet and delicious. It is known as a good omen of prosperity, prosperity, harmony, unity, auspiciousness, celebration and reunion. It is a favorite auspicious fruit of our people, and has formed many rural customs and unique folk pomegranate culture related to pomegranate among the people: pomegranate seeds are full, which symbolizes high yield in the people; People often use the pattern of "pomegranate branches and leaves are connected, and a corner is cut off to reveal countless fruits" to symbolize many children and grandchildren, which is called "pomegranate opens a hundred children"; Pomegranate is also an important gift from our people. Giving pomegranates at Mid-Autumn Festival has become a symbol of good luck. Pomegranate was originally left, so it was given the meaning of "left". "Folding willow to bid farewell" and "sending pomegranate to send friendship" became folk customs with Central Plains characteristics. Pomegranate is also closely related to China's costume culture, which may be because some people say that pomegranate flowers are like dancers' skirts, and the lyrics of "Furong wears pomegranate skirts" and the allusions of "pomegranate skirts" are all in the May 7th Song of Emperor Liang Yuan. Ancient women wore skirts and liked pomegranate red. At that time, the pigment of the dyed red skirt was mainly extracted from pomegranate flowers, so people also called the red skirt "pomegranate skirt". Over time, "pomegranate skirt" has become synonymous with ancient young women. People describe men being conquered by women's beauty, which is called "falling at their feet".
