The origin of mango seed flower god. What is the flower god of mango seeds?
The origin of mango seeds to send flowers to God is described in A Dream of Red Mansions: "It turns out that mango seed festival was not held on this day. Ancient custom: On the day of Ear Festival, all kinds of gifts should be arranged to worship the flower god. It is said that once the ear is planted, it will be summer, all the flowers will be unloaded, and the flower god will abdicate and have to say goodbye. " When Fang Qun fell, it was also the day when Flower God abdicated, so people wanted to bid it farewell and called it "Flower God". The custom of sending flowers to the gods was very popular at least in the Southern Dynasties.
Tang Bohu, one of the four great talents in Ming Dynasty, said in "Send Spring to the South of the Yangtze River": "At night, I compete with the piano for honey and candles, and wine and seals send flowers to the gods. I was a guest in Dong Jun and met unexpectedly. " In ancient times, a "flower festival" was held to send the flower god back to his place. God is a "female foreigner" in ancient myths and legends. The Generalized Moon Order says: "Female foreigner is a god who has been cultivated for a long time in spring and summer, that is, the flower god."
The flower god is ushered in on the fifteenth day of the second lunar month. The ancients designated the birthday of the flower god in the middle of spring as the Flower Festival, also known as "Flower God's Birthday", "Hundred Flowers Birthday" and "Hundred Flowers Fairy Festival". Winter jasmine is in the season of lush vegetation, full bloom of wheat straw and red green branches. In May of the lunar calendar, the flower god abdicated, and the world held a farewell ceremony for the flower god, sent him back to his original place, thanked him, and looked forward to welcoming him early next year.
There is a description of the custom of sending flowers to immortals in A Dream of Red Mansions. The girls in the Grand View Garden, weaving sedan-chair horses with petals and willow branches, or folding dry flags with silk, brocade and yarn, tie colored lines on each flower at the head of each tree.
The word "dry" in "Qianqilou" is a shield; History, Jing and Zhuang are all ancient flags. At the top of the flagpole is a yak tail flag. Jing is similar to a flag, but the difference is that it is decorated with colorful folded feathers, and the shape of the building is umbrella-shaped. It can be seen that the mango festival of a large family is a lively scene for the flower god to bid farewell.
What's it like to send flowers to the goddess of flowers? Held on February 2nd, February12nd and15th every year. This is the flower festival. During the festival, people go to the suburbs to enjoy flowers together, and the girls cut five-color paper and stick it on the branches, which is called "enjoying the red".
There are also customs such as "putting lion flowers" and "putting magic lanterns" all over the country to commemorate the birthday of Baihua. This festival is a traditional festival of the Han nationality. On this day, every household will offer sacrifices to the flower god, burn incense in the flower temple and pray for the blessing of the flower god.
Flower Festival is to commemorate the birth of a hundred flowers. In ancient times, there was a saying that Kao was in charge of human fertility, so it was also a festival of reproductive worship.
In A Dream of Red Mansions, we can see that on the day of the solar term, these girls first dress themselves up beautifully, and then go to the Grand View Garden early to put presents and hold flower-sending activities.
It turns out that once this awn is planted, all the flowers will be unloaded and the flower god will abdicate. Therefore, it is necessary to hold a flower sending activity on this day so as to benefit the world again next year. So, how do people send flowers to God?
First, people who send flowers to God should dress neatly and dress themselves up beautifully. Needless to say, this is necessary because flowers are beautiful. If the sender is unkempt and unkempt, then I'm sorry. Can the flower god be satisfied?
Therefore, the girls in the Grand View Garden are just "ashamed of clothes, jealous of orioles", and no matter how they dress up, even Cao Xueqin's big hands are "inexhaustible" for a while.

In Ode to Luoshen, Cao Zhi describes the beauty of Zhen Fu and compares her to a fairy in Luoshui, which is "beautiful in form, graceful in dragon, graceful in moustache, light in clouds and light in wind, like snow". It can be seen that Mrs. Zhen's beauty makes people miss it.
Lotus God is the first of the four beauties in China. She is born with beauty and is the embodiment and synonym of beauty. After Shihe helped Gou Jian destroy Wu, Shi's ending became a mystery after Wu's demise: some people said that they saw Shihe retire, some people said that they saw them boating in Taihu Lake, some people said that Shi Shen died in the river, and others said that she fell in love with the king of Wu and committed suicide. But in any case, the beauty of the stone has remained in the hearts of generations.

Besides, she is a Taoist, and the number is too real. It is the "shame of flowers" among the four beautiful women.
