Bouquets of chrysanthemums last a long time in a vase, which is why they are loved by customers. Breeders have developed many varieties of various shapes and colors. But it was the yellow plants that became the symbol of the Japanese Imperial House. The "Golden Flower" is depicted on the Japanese coat of arms, seal and coins. The ancestors of the ten-thousandth varietal diversity were only two species: Indian Chrysanthemum from Southeast Asia and Chrysanthemum mulberry from China. Cold-resistant varieties are united by a common name - “Korean”, named after the country that created them.

Legends, beliefs and magic

The Chinese parable of the chrysanthemum attributes its origin to a greedy dragon. The flying serpent wanted to deprive humanity of the Sun, but did not calculate its strength. He grabbed the fireball with his paws, but could not hold on to the scorching luminary. The eggs scattered from the sun fell to the ground, and chrysanthemums sprouted in those places.

The Japanese version of the origin of the chrysanthemum says that during the reign of a cruel emperor in China, the following story happened. The ruler was not afraid of anything except his own old age and death. To create an elixir of immortality, he summoned doctors from all over the world. Only one of them undertook to help him, warning him that the drug could only be made from one plant growing on distant islands. But a person with pure thoughts must collect its flowers.

The European variation carries a sad connotation. The legend says that chrysanthemums sprouted on the son’s grave from the tears of a grief-stricken mother, in place of artificial wreaths lying. Therefore in European countries chrysanthemum is associated with a tragic meaning. In Italy it symbolizes love and sadness at the same time, and in England and France it is used in mourning ceremonies.

Eastern culture, on the contrary, endows the flower with limitless magical possibilities for prolonging life and preserving health. So the yellow chrysanthemum, collected on the 9th day of the 9th month according to eastern calendar has miraculous properties, driving away bad things and protecting the house from misfortunes. According to Feng Shui, these flowers establish a balance between the feminine and masculine principles in the home. Gifted to a man, they enhance masculine energy, and to a woman – feminine energy. If you wear dry chrysanthemum or jewelry with its images as a talisman, it will give you self-confidence and help you achieve your goals. The Chinese still practice washing their face in the morning and drinking dew from chrysanthemum petals. According to one belief, this helped one Taoist monk live 700 years.

Medicinal properties

According to scientific research, there is a bit of truth in endowing the chrysanthemum with mystical properties. The petals contain potassium, selenium, zinc, magnesium, which are important in the treatment of the nervous system and eye diseases. In Chinese medicine, all parts of the plant are used. Dried leaves for migraines, dried inflorescences to increase appetite, petals in ophthalmology. In Europe based essential oils Leaf juice has been used to treat Parkinson's disease. IN folk medicine recipes are given for the treatment of hypertension, abscesses, conjunctivitis, rheumatism, arthritis and in complex therapy. Used to enhance immunity and in aromatherapy.

A variety of edible chrysanthemum, Tonghao, is eaten as a side dish or dessert in China. Considering life expectancy and appearance Asian peoples, perhaps this ingredient is the key to their elixir of youth, as ancient Eastern legends say.

According to legend, the cruel Chinese emperor learned about the chrysanthemum - a flower from which the elixir of immortality is prepared. But only a person with a pure soul and a kind heart could tear it down. The emperor sent many young people to the island to get a flower, but none of them returned. The emperor soon died, and the people on the island founded a new state - Japan. In Japan, a real cult of the chrysanthemum has been created, because it is considered a symbol of the country, although unofficial.
