1. Cause

Hyacinth is not a native flower in China. It is a flower with rich colors native to the northeast of the Mediterranean. Its cultivation history can be traced back to the 15th century. The name of hyacinth comes from the beautiful Greek mythology. Because a beautiful flower grew in the pool of blood of Apollo's favorite youth, it named the flower after its name - jacintos, which is literally translated as "Hyacinth"

2. Legend

It is said that the handsome boy Jacinto TOS and Apollo, the sun god, are close friends, and Jeffrey, the God of the west wind, is also in favor of the beautiful boy, so he is often jealous of it

Once, when he and Apollo were throwing discus on the grassland, Jeffrey found him hiding in the trees. Jealousy made him lose his mind. When Apollo threw the discus to Jacinto TOS, the God of the west wind quietly made efforts to adjust the wind direction, so that the discus hit Jacinto TOS's forehead heavily. The boy immediately fell to the ground. When Apollo arrived, he had already fallen into his own pool of blood, and Apollo picked up his friend and cried bitterly

A moment later, he found that there were many clusters of purple flowers growing in the place where yasintos' blood flowed. In order to recall his friends, the sun god named the flower yasintos, which was literally translated into "Hyacinth" in Chinese

Since then, purple hyacinth has the meaning of jealousy and regret. At the same time, it is homonymous with the Greek "forever", so it also has the meaning of eternal remembrance
