The flower language of Phoenix flower is parting, missing and hot youth.
There is an old and beautiful legend in Xiamen: a long time ago, a group of egrets came back to the South and stopped at the shore to rest. The leading egrets found a group of fish and shrimps in the water with plenty of food, neither threatened by poisonous snakes and beasts, nor harassed by hunters' bows and arrows. So they fell in love with the island and led the group of egrets to settle down. Come down.
Egrets also set out to dress up their homes. There are many flowers and green grass on the island. The beautiful mountains and rivers attract many birds to build nests; bees and butterflies also gather pollen. Suddenly the island becomes bustling and colorful. .
This scene makes the snake king under the East Sea envious. He wants to occupy the beautiful island built by the egret, so he leads the snake demon to make waves. In a moment, the island is full of sand and rocks, and the sky is dark. In order to protect their homeland, egrets fight against the snake demon.
The leading Heron severely damaged the snake king and drove away the snake demon, but it was also seriously injured and lay in a pool of blood. Later, on the land where the big Heron had spilled his blood, a tall and straight tree grew up. The leaves of the tree opened like the big heron, and the flowers of the tree were as red as the blood of the big heron. This kind of tree, people call Phoenix wood; this kind of flower, people call Phoenix flower.
