The Rose in the Oath Constellation

When Aphrodite was born, God created roses at the same time, but only beautiful white roses. Rose branches have spikes because divines is jealous of Cupid's natural beauty.

Aphrodite once fell in love with adonis, a hunter on the earth. He is handsome, considerate and perfect, but at the same time he loves hunting. Even though Aphrodite objected, adonis still refused to give up. Finally, the tragedy appeared. During a hunting, A was seriously injured by a prey.

Aphrodite hurried to save him when he learned about it. On the way, the thorn of the white rose cut Aphrodite's barefoot and blood dripped into the water. The place where she ran is gradually full of bright red roses, which is the origin of red roses.

Finally, her lover died, and Aphrodite was lovelorn again. Perfect lovers have imperfect love.

Until today, when people pray for love, they always use bright red roses, because people hope that when Aphrodite sees the bright red roses, she will remember the happiness she and her lover once pursued and yearn for her blessing.

This story comes from Greek mythology.

Greek mythology, that is, all myths about ancient Greek gods, heroes, nature and the history of the universe.

Greek mythology is the spiritual product of primitive clan society and the earliest literary form in Europe. It came into being in the 8th century BC, and its basic scale was formed on the basis of the long-term oral spread of ancient Greek aborigines and referring to the myths spread to Greece from other countries. Later, it was recorded in Homer's epic, hesiod's genealogy and ancient Greek poetry, drama, history and philosophy, and later generations arranged it into the present ancient Greek fairy tales, which were divided into two parts: the story of God and the legend of heroes.

Legend of the Rose 1

In Greek legend, the rose was created by Croce, the Greek flower god. At first, the rose was just a lifeless seed of the fairy in the forest. One day, Cross, the goddess of flowers, came across it in a clearing in the forest.

Cross asked Aphrodite, the goddess of love, to give it a beautiful appearance; Dionysus, the god of wine, spilled wine, which made it fragrant. The other three goddesses endowed it with charm, wisdom and joy. Then, the west wind god blew away the clouds, and Apollo, the sun god, was able to shine on it and make it blossom. In this way, the rose was born and was immediately named the queen of flowers.

Legend of the Rose Story 2

It is said that roses only grow green branches and leaves and do not bloom. Why did such bright flowers come out later? This is in the land of roses, and there is a touching story!

Once upon a time, there was a mountain top with a clear spring on it. People call this clear spring "Jin Quan" and this mountain "Water Mountain".

There is a village at the foot of the water mountain. In the village, there are a pair of lonely boys and girls. The man is Liu Lang. When his parents died in his early years, all he was left with was a firewood knife and a pole, and he made a living by firewood. The woman's name is Cuiping. His parents died, leaving her only a shovel and a medicine basket to collect herbs for a living. In the evening, they all came back with firewood and medicine.

Common destiny and common life make them respect and love each other, help each other, and form a friendship higher than Shuishan and longer than Jin Quan. Soon, the two secretly made a lifelong commitment.

One day, Liu Lang was chopping wood in Dongshan and Cuiping was collecting herbs in Xishan. Liu Lang felt a little sleepy and fell asleep according to firewood. In his sleep, he vaguely smelled the fragrance of Chen Hua. Liu Lang skid up and walked forward with the fragrance of flowers. I saw a crescent cave door in front of him with the words "Shuishan Royal Garden" written on it.

Liu Lang thought: I have been chopping wood on this water mountain since I was a child, and I have traveled all over seven holes, eight beams and twenty-four slopes, but I didn't know there was such a place. I might as well go in and see the scenery. Push the door and see, ah! It turns out that the flowers and plants in the garden are in full bloom, and the wind blowing on the face is fragrant. Where did Liu Lang know that this was the mortal garden of the Queen Mother?

Every May, when the flowers are in full bloom, the Queen Mother will take the fairies to visit and enjoy the flowers. While admiring and praising, Liu Lang came to the center of the garden and saw a flower bed made of crystal. The flower tree in the center of the flower bed is particularly lovely. The fluffy red flowers look like the smiling faces of Cuiping, but unfortunately, only such beautiful flowers are in bloom.

Liu Lang looked at this flower again and again, and suddenly remembered, isn't this a rose? Roses are everywhere, but they never bloom. Why are there roses in full bloom here? It looks so good again.

By the way, I picked this rose and put it on Sister Cuiping's head. It will look good and she will be happy. Liu Lang picked flowers and was about to turn away when he saw two heavenly soldiers wearing armor and holding long gifts, shouting, "How dare you pick fairy flowers here?" . Say that finish high-handed, Liu Lang firmly tied, will be taken away.
