Man Zhu Sha Hua, also known as the other side flower. It is generally considered to be a flower that grows along the Santo River. The legend of floral fragrance has magic power, which can arouse the memory of the deceased before his death.
Three days before and after the vernal equinox are called the other side of spring, which is the day of going to the grave. Three days before and after the autumnal equinox are called the other side of autumn. Flowers bloom on the other side of autumn, which is very punctual, so it is called the other side flower.
Flowers are on the other side, flowers are on the other side, leaves can't be seen when flowers bloom, flowers can't be seen when there are leaves, and flowers and leaves don't meet. This is wrong.
The flowers on the other side are flowers on the road of the dead, where they bloom in large numbers. From a distance, they look like carpets paved with blood, and they are called "the road of fire" because of their red color.
It is also the only scenery and color on this long yellow road. People follow the guidance of this flower and lead to the prison of the underworld.
On the other side of the flower, there is a cinnabar flower, also known as red spider lily. In Japan, it is called マンジュシャゲ, and the flower language is "separation/sadness/unlucky".
Most of them grow in field trails, riverside trails and cemeteries, so they are also called dead flowers. As soon as autumn comes, it blooms almost red and black rare flowers, and the whole flower on the other side looks shocking red, like fire, like blood, in full swing.
The flower on the other side belongs to Lycoris herb, and its common name is the name of the goddess of the sea in Greek mythology. Because Lycoris radiata is characterized by first pulling out the flower scape (total stalk) to bloom, and then leaving leaves after the flower ends or flowers wither; There are also some species that pick leaves first, and then wither and bloom, so there is a saying that "flowers bloom on the other side, only look at flowers, but not leaves".
The beauty of Manzhu Shahua is the ominous beauty of rarity, disaster, death and separation. Either because its bright red color reminds people of blood, or because its bulbs are highly toxic, its image is usually associated with the concepts of "madness and blood" in general literary works. In the encounter article "The Voice of the Zhen Hao", Sangyuan wrote about the moment when Jinghu committed suicide and saw the flower-like blood spray on the other side.
