The origin of kapok name:

The bonfire originated from Zhao Tuo, king of South Vietnam, and was named after the tree was full of red flowers. Gubei originated from the transliteration of Sanskrit Karpassa; Northern Hebei believes that it originated from the transliteration of Ceiba in Nanyang dialect. The name originally refers to Ceiba Pentandra of Kapok, Java, which is confused because of its similar appearance. The name of Qiongzhi refers to the trees growing on Hainan Island, hence the name.

Kapok's words:

The flower language of kapok is to cherish the people around you, cherish the happiness in front of you, and don't regret it after you lose it, it will be too late.

The legend about kapok:

Legend has it that there is a hero of Lao Li in Wuzhishan, whose name is Jibei, who often leads the people to defeat foreign aggression. Once, because of a traitor's informer, the old hero was arrested, and the enemy tied him to a kapok tree and tortured him. The old Yantai Four Heroes were unyielding and finally killed. Later, the old hero became a kapok tree, so the kapok tree was called "Hebei North" to commemorate the old national hero.

So how did the name of the hero tree come from? Then, look at its tree. The tall and self-supporting trunk is covered with thorns, and no one else is allowed to climb around. Branches and wheels stretch all their lives, as if to declare sovereignty to the sky. They have no leaves when they bloom, and they regenerate leaves when they are used up. It is really verve, so it has the reputation of "hero tree".

However, Chen Gongyin of the Qing Dynasty was the first to call kapok a hero. In his Song of Kapok, he described Kapok as "a hero with a thick beard and a wide face, full of vitality and a high crown". Since then, people have called the kapok tree a hero tree. The origin of another name of kapok is more pictographic-kapok withers and produces cotton wool, which is tied to a big tree.

The cotton on the tree is called kapok. Kapok, a unique hero in southern China: the tree is tall and straight, and the wood is tough; When I was in bloom, it was red and warm, without any green leaves. Once the flowering period is over, it can't wither, but flowers can clear away heat and detoxify and give people warm care.
