Lavender is a fragrant purple-blue flower. It's as romantic as its location. This flower, which was born in Prouvant, France, has a beautiful love legend:
Legend 1: In ancient times, there was a beautiful girl in Provence. One day, she was alone in the cold valley picking flowers in bud. On her way home, she met an injured traveler from far away and asked her for directions. The girl looked at the handsome young man affectionately with a bunch of flowers in her hand. At that moment, her heart was occupied by the young man's passionate smile. Despite the opposition of her family, the girl insisted that the young people stay in the guest room at home to heal until they recovered. As the days passed, the young man's leg injury had healed and their feelings quickly warmed up. On a cool morning, the young people wanted to say goodbye, but the girl didn't want her family's opposition to leave with the young people, and went to the hometown where the young people were full of roses in the distance ... The grandmother in the village held a bunch of lavender before the girl left, so that the spoony girl could test the sincerity of the young people with this bunch of lavender ... It is said that the aroma of lavender bouquets would make unclean things appear ... It was the morning when the valley was full of lavender. Just as the young man was holding the girl's hand and preparing for a long trip, the girl threw a bunch of lavender hidden in her coat on the young man. In this way, a purple light smoke gathered and dispersed ... There was a faint cold wind in the valley, like young people whispering ... I was your heart that wanted to travel ... leaving the girl lonely and depressed ... Some people said that before long, the girl disappeared.
As soon as this flower appears, it represents love and commitment, just like its flower language, waiting for love.
Legend 2: Provence is the "Knight City" in Europe, named after the film "Light Cavalry on the Roof". Italian knight Angelo fled here for the revolutionary cause. Good people know what happened, which makes the meeting between a gentleman and a lady Paulina a troublesome thing ... When Paulina and Angelo meet again and gallop on the vast land of Provence, everything becomes relaxed and happy.
The first impression of lavender is of course "fragrance". It is said that lavender, rosemary and Pogostemon fragrans in France are rich in fragrance and have refreshing effects. Lavender in England has a faint fragrance and plays a calming role.

These lavender can be favored by fashion groups because they have many romantic and beautiful meanings. Lavender has a lot of connotations, implying a correct attitude towards life. People have always regarded lavender as a symbol of purity, purity, protection, gratitude and peace. Lavender also means "waiting for love".
Legend has it that one day, the Virgin Mary hung the washed baby Jesus clothes on lavender, and lavender was given the meaning of symbolizing the taste of heaven. It is also said that the Virgin Mary washed Jesus' baby clothes directly with water soaked in lavender. Perhaps this is why people in the past liked washing clothes with lavender so much. However, some people say that the Virgin Mary prayed to lavender, so lavender not only has a lasting fragrance, but also has the ability to drive away the devil.
Lavender Represents True Love is the most representative lyric poem in the Elizabethan era. Therefore, at that time, it was popular for lovers to give lavender to each other to express their love. During this period, Charles I of England was also an affectionate man. In pursuit of Nell Gwyn, he tied a bag of dried lavender with a golden ribbon and gave it to his lover.
This is the lavender kingdom in early summer. Legend has it that a girl met an injured handsome young man while picking flowers, and the girl who fell in love at first sight left home to heal. On the day of recovery, two people who love each other cannot be separated. Due to the opposition of her family, the girl is going to elope with her lover's hometown full of roses. Before leaving, in order to test each other's sincerity, the girl scattered a lot of lavender to the young men according to the method of the old woman in the village. Suddenly, the purple smoke rose and the young men disappeared, leaving only "in fact, I am your heart to travel." Soon, the girl disappeared with the light smoke.

One legend is that ...
It is said that "whoever can find purple dandelion will get perfect love." There is also a love story that says, "A long time ago, there was a big family with prominent officials, and there was a little daughter named Chaoyang, who was very beautiful, intelligent, virtuous and kind, and won the favor of her parents. But when Chaoyang grew up to seventeen or eighteen, he had not found a suitable husband, because Chaoyang didn't like the playboy of dignitaries and his parents didn't want his beloved daughter to leave them, so he was very uneasy about it.
One day, Chaoyang was playing in the street with a close-fitting maid. She saw a handsome young man with herbs. The young man was dressed in coarse clothes and wore an old towel to wipe the sweat on his shoulders, but he was handsome and heroic. Handsome men who collected herbs also noticed the beautiful sunrise, but they could only smile at each other, because the traditional concept at that time was that men and women could not distinguish between giving and receiving. When Chaoyang watched the young man disappear in the crowd, her heart was taken away.
Meeting in the street left a deep impression on each other's hearts. Chaoyang often asks people about that Chinese medicine doctor. She knows that her favorite husband is Pugong. He once read a lot of poems and learned a lot, but later his parents died young and his family was poor, so he made a living by collecting medicines. Pugong often thinks of Chaoyang, but he thinks of his poor family and inferiority.
Nothing in this world is unforgettable. Both Pugong and Chaoyang are lovesick and miss each other all the time. They finally put aside secular and traditional ideas, secretly dated many times, and made a lifelong commitment to each other, only wishing to be together forever. Finally, one day, Chaoyang summoned up his courage and said shyly to his parents, "Dad, Mom, there is a young man named Pu Gong who collects herbs ... My daughter thought ... My parents immediately understood her daughter's thoughts, because they have heard about it for a long time. Father said: "Chaoyang, you are not young." Marriage is the happiness of your life. Pugong comes from a humble background. You should know that your parents are doing it for your own good.
When Chaoyang told his parents about it again, he was strongly opposed by his parents. His father said in a serious tone, "We will never agree. He can't marry my dear daughter. "
"yes! We really can't bear to let you suffer! Son, you have to understand! " Said the mother shed tears of helplessness.
The stubborn Chaoyang said with tears: "I won't marry unless Pugong doesn't marry in this life. If you don't agree to your daughter's marriage, her daughter will have to repay your kindness in the next life. " Then she rushed out of the room. ...
Parents have never been stubborn about their daughters, and even more unwilling to lose their beloved daughters, they reluctantly agreed. A beautiful and happy smile appeared on Chaoyang's face, and of course Pugong was extremely moved and happy. However, after their marriage, parents and relatives still have a lot of dissatisfaction and discrimination against Pu Gong. When Chaoyang saw the attitude of her parents and relatives, she couldn't figure out why her parents who loved her so much refused her beloved husband. After consulting with Pu Gong, Chaoyang made a willing decision-wandering around the world.
Chaoyang and Pugong later wandered to a beautiful mountain village, where there was a broken tile kiln to keep out the cold, and there was a stream in front of it. There are many blue wildflowers by the stream, and they decided to live here. Although life in the tile kiln is hard, they live happily, and Chaoyang also gave birth to a very beautiful daughter. The day when Chaoyang gave birth to her daughter Lan by the stream.
However, due to the chaotic situation, before long, Pu Gong was forced to join the army to fight, and the trip was eighteen years!
Eighteen years, no news of Pu Gongyao. Chaoyang took Lan Ruo to stick to the earthen kiln, and her parents gave her food and clothes. Those rich young men seduced her with gold, silver and jewels, but she still looked at her beloved Pu Gong without any regrets. She takes Lan Ruo up the mountain every day, standing on the hillside overlooking the distance, waiting for Pugong's return. For eighteen years, their mother and daughter only relied on an unknown mountain wild flower to fill their stomachs. When the wild flowers are dry, take them back to the earthen kiln to keep warm. Chaoyang and Lanruo walked around the nearby mountains with baskets. Later, they found that this kind of wild flower is not only edible, but also has the efficacy of treating diseases and beautifying. The reason is that Chaoyang once accidentally fell down while picking flowers and scratched his skin. Because there was no money to see a doctor, Chaoyang had to lie on the dry wild flowers in the kiln to recuperate. The next day, she found that the injury was not serious. She saw some dry skin sticking to the scratch. In particular, Lan Ruo looks like a peach blossom and is as beautiful as a fairy after taking this wild flower for a long time, and washes his face with a stream full of wild flowers. Every time the morning sun takes Lan Ruo to see the white wild flowers fluttering in the wind on the hillside, she will say to her daughter Lan Ruo, "Look, how beautiful they are dancing in the wind. They are looking for partners in the sky one by one and falling to every corner of the earth, and there will be a brighter life next year."
Eighteen years later, a great piece of good news came to Chaoyang like a spring breeze, and Pu Gong came back! And because of his outstanding military exploits, he became a general. Hearing this, Chaoyang was extremely excited and happy ... The news that she had been looking forward to 18 made her too excited. The lovesickness of Chaoyang became sick and she fainted.
The earthen kiln remains the same, but the love of the past is like yesterday in Pu Gong and Chaoyang's heart. Pugong loves to brush the gray temples of Iraqis, and his eyes are blurred.
On his deathbed, Chaoyang said to Pu Gong with infinite affection, "Take good care of Lan Ruo, remember the wild flowers all over the mountains? Bring them to the front, they can not only eat, but also cure diseases. When you miss me, they will fly around you with the wind! " . After that, the morning sun turned into countless white flowers flying in the sky. Later, Pugong left the tile kiln with Lan Ruo and many wild flowers. When Pugong marched tens of thousands of miles, he would take out those wild flowers and let them fall to the earth with the wind. From then on, beautiful and independent wildflowers can be seen everywhere. "
