From then on, the intellectual scholar daily is watering the flowers, never stopped. Lilac open will be more productive because, the more beautiful.

Later generations for miss this pure feeling good girl, respect her love for the noble sentiment stood firm and unyielding, from now on and then put the lilac as flower of love, and put this picture "marriage" was called for "life and death to", as has been spread until now, jue ju.

Not only was considered "lilac flowers of love", but also be considered "the tree of happiness". Originally, there is also a "beautiful" ailments clove legend.

According to legend is in a long time ago, riyue mountain of qinghai plateau, live a family. Father was very old, three sons have either married a daughter-in-law, the eldest son at home, the second in the plow and eliphelet the private business out in teaching, the whole family is living a happy life.

In the family lived in the middle of the courtyard, with long a tree wankou thick round cedars and also called clove tree. The tree has one hundred more than, still flourish, blooming. The old man often speak of the family, "our house QuanTuo tree clove the blessing of the tree, just have a good day today." The family are depending on the tree like god, trim watering, especially attentive. One day, the old man three son call to him, and to longly say: "old human beings are mortal. I dead, three brothers you want to get along well, who can't carry break up. To break up, unless the courtyard of the trees have withered." clove Before long, the old man died.

The old man died in the third, clove tree suddenly have withered. The three brothers thought is the god's will to break up, but think of the father, he knelt on the tree entrust with before and wept bitterly. For crying for seven days and seven nights, suddenly, 1 "bomb", from the trunk jumped out a nuclear black big nails, and impartial is second daughter-in-law fall before. They see the scene, very was enraged over, were on second daughter-in-law look. In all, she had to speak with one reason.

Original, the second daughter-in-law see their own men have migrated business, but the silver to earn back the whole family, in my heart with dissatisfaction. Listen to the old man dying, partial birth YiXin told dark, try to kill clove tree. At first she give clove the dirty water, tree, the tree fall dirt to death retting. But this year not only not dead, clove tree instead luxuriant, design and color is more more beautiful more colourful. Second daughter-in-law's very angry with the sword, and quietly cuts to the tree branches. All of clove Unexpectedly strong clove tree in the following spring grew more new branches and leaves, purple flowers to a wide open the more fragrant. This was more annoyed, daughter-in-law, she, in for a pound, and secretly looking for a gold five inch long nails, put it nails into the trunk. So, clove tree battered and to die.

Now, his death clove are tree has been you know, second daughter-in-law to also be ashamed to admit a mistake and willing to, in public, begged repentance, also ask forgive the family tree, swear future clove forgive with us live, never again to the centre.

Clove tree soon and bud and smoked a casual. And from this year, year after year, the whole family during the spring and autumn flowering more love it.

Clove not but the symbol of love and happiness, and Buddhism has the indissoluble bond. Clove tree in our country in certain areas in northwest, be buddhists called "bodhi tree". But in fact, the bodhi be bodhi, clove is, these are two cloves in shape, the habits of different tree species are ahead. Two plant trees is, why buddhists and the planting of trees in the temple clove bodhi tree? This origin old.

The bodhi of buddhist Sanskrit language means "suddenly enlightened", "such as th cheerful realise realm". Known as "wisdom of consciousness" or "awakening of wake up".

Originated from India, indians banyan tree called finish polo tree. This tree is sangke evergreen trees, tree height can reach up to 10 to 20 meters. Leaves for triangular-ovate, male and female different flowers, but the male and female flowers are the two was born in a closed, not for people of cup-shaped receptacle saw. So, people are often called the FIG.

Clove tree MuXi families, production of the north temperate deciduous shrub, is, few trees, 3 ~ 5 meters high common, as old elder can reach 8 meters above. Blade for the oval. Male and female with flowers, flowers for purple, pink or white, with fragrant flowers.

It released MouNi had to meet founder of Buddhism in the banyan tree went under and card awakening buddhahood, founded the Buddhism. From then on, lindens and buddhist happened close relationship. Be regarded as divine wood. Wide plant in the Buddhism temple in, in Sanskrit and teach language "the name" bodhi tree. From then on banyan tree also become the supreme. Banyan tree introduction into China is very early, "qunfang spectrum" called thinking trees.

Buddha in the temple, except to say that faith banyan tree planted by the faithful had and devotion, mainly still to commemorate the outside Buddha Buddha explains.

But, the real lindens only suitable planting in tropical, subtropical, in our country only south, southeast along the coast to appropriate growth. So the disciples had to choose some otherwise fit to local climate environment instead of banyan tree species. If south of some of the temple, choose no son with trees instead of banyan tree. This tree guangdong said, sichuan people wood lam son called oil together string son. The stone of the fruit of the tree, is very hard, black for rosary beads, seen as a lucky thing, otherwise the bodhi tree also called son tree. Some north temple, the more expensive the ginkgo tree instead choose rare banyan tree. Large, majestic ginkgo tree, long life, is known as "Chinese banyan tree". But in northwest China's gansu, qinghai plateau, because the influence of climate, above a few tree species can plant, Buddhism disciple is choose suddenly and violently Martin sweet (and a lilac belong clove) instead of banyan tree. People called for "the western critical Martin incense banyan tree". Now the Beijing method in the temple, the Ming dynasty is reportedly clove tree relics. Be like again qinghai province south of the LeDouXian ban in the temple of a tree Tan critical Martin, is said to be the Ming dynasty incense tree of emperor hongwu built the Abbey of planting, it has six hundred DuoNian history, especially in the east of qinghai plateau, the capital of xining city 25 kilometers HuangZhongXian division (north town, has a world-famous lamaism the holy land-kumbum monastery, is one of the famous temple buddhist sect.

It stout and leafy tree, born, each about leaves on the blade can be natural appear one honour the lion roar of Buddha image, even bark can also have many natural body like writing and, therefore, the name "house" (meaning wooden body like). This tree unusual white ZhanTan tree (sweet) is critical Martin buddhist believers as the banyan tree.

In the eleventh year of emperor hongwu (1378), ZongKaBa XueJing in Tibet, his parents in qinghai to believe, by push him panic. ZongKaBa letters to consider: back to qinghai after a long journey, influence XueJing, decided not to return to the hometown. Then sent the disciples sent to letter with a bloody nose and painted personal portrait and the lion roar of Buddha a shaft. The letter said: "if in the place where I was born, in the lion roar of Buddha statue and banyan tree (suddenly and violently Martin incense tree) as the center, build a pagoda, is as close hem son side." His mother received this letter, very grief after, and two honour portrait which pious. Twelve years of emperor hongwu (1379), and in its funding of the believers, in accordance with the ZongKaBa master charged, the white ZhanTan tree (clove tree) as the center, built a stupa in Tulsa LingDa that big.
