Legend has it that there were two people whose names were Pi and An, and God decreed that the two of them should never see each other. They cherished each other and admired each other, and finally one day, they met each other secretly in defiance of the rules of God. After they met, he found that Shore was a beautiful woman, and Shore also found that he was a handsome and dashing young man.

The result was doomed, because of the violation of the rules of heaven, the relationship was finally ruthlessly stifled. Heaven sent down a punishment and gave the two of them a vicious curse, since they wanted to have a private meeting regardless of the rules of heaven, they let them become the flowers and leaves of a flower, but this flower is very peculiar, there are flowers without leaves, leaves without flowers, life and life, flowers and leaves are wrong.

Legend has it that after countless reincarnations, one day the Buddha came here, and saw a flower on the ground with extraordinary temperament, red like fire, and the Buddha came to it to look carefully, and saw the mystery at a glance. The Buddha was neither sad nor angry, but he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and reached out to pull the flower out of the ground. The Buddha put the flower in his hand and said with emotion: "In the previous life, you couldn't see each other, after countless reincarnations, you can't stay in love, the so-called division and union is just fate and fate, you have the curse of heaven, so that you are destined but not dispersed, and you are not divided, I can't help you unravel this vicious spell, so I will take you to the other side, let you bloom all over the wilderness."

On the way to the other side, the Buddha passed by the Santu River in the underworld, and accidentally wet his clothes by the river, and there was the red flower that the Buddha carried, and when the Buddha came to the other side to untie the flower wrapped in the clothes and looked at it again, he found that the fiery red flowers had become pure white, the Buddha pondered for a moment, and laughed loudly: great joy is not as good as great sorrow, it is better to forget than to remember, right and wrong, how can you distinguish it, good flowers, good flowers. The Buddha planted this flower on the other side and called it a mandala flower, and because it was on the other side, he called it the flower of the other side.

But the Buddha didn't know that he was on the Santu River, and all the red dripping of the flowers that had faded by the river water dropped all the red into the river, and he wailed all day long, which made people feel sad, and the Bodhisattva Jizo was very powerful, and when he learned that the mandala Hua had been born, he came to the river, took out a seed, and threw it into the river, and after a while, a flower that was more red and bright than before grew out of the water, and Jizo took it in his hand and sighed: You have to get out and be at ease, why do you want to leave this boundless hatred in the boundless hell of the already bitter sea? I will ask you to be a guide messenger to guide them to samsara, just remember your color, there is already a mandala on the other side, so let's call you mansa beads.

Since then, there have been two completely different flowers on the other side of the world, one grows on the other side and the other is born on the side of the Santu River. It is said that many years have passed, there are two people in the world who love each other very much, but one year, the man was unfortunately killed when he went out on errands, he came to the Santu River, saw the blood red in his eyes, and his heart was very sad, he cried bitterly: "I don't want to be reincarnated, I want to go back to my wife, she is still waiting for me at home." He stumbled to Meng Po, and before drinking the forgetful soup, he asked Meng Po why the world is like this, and in the end, this soup is the only one who forgets his feelings. Meng Po smiled and didn't say anything, just asked him to drink quickly, he looked at the soup blankly, and said: "Everyone has to forget their feelings, I don't forget, after reincarnation, I want to find my wife." ”

When the man's wife learned of his death, she was so grief-stricken that she was saved by the man's family several times, and finally the woman promised not to commit suicide, but to be widowed for the rest of her life. When the man's family saw her strong personality, they were afraid that the old things would be brought up again, and they would make her sad in vain, so they thought that she had a heart, so they temporarily agreed to her and persuaded her to remarry after she was emotionally stable. In this way, the woman continued to live in the man's house, living by sewing.

He also said that after the man was reincarnated, he was really reborn in the town where he lived with the woman, time flew by, and unconsciously twenty years had passed, and one day he went out and passed by the door of the woman's widow, and felt strange in his heart, so he stopped and took a look, this look didn't matter, just happened to be seen by the woman head-on. After reincarnation, the man's appearance and temperament have completely changed, but as soon as the woman saw him, tears flowed down her eyes, and she walked up to the man and said, "You came to me." And he fainted to the ground. The man saw an old woman he didn't know fall in front of him, and hurriedly fled the place in fright.

Later, the woman was seriously ill, and she said something over and over before she died, but her voice was too small for anyone to hear clearly, so she didn't care, and the woman finally shed two lines of blood and tears, and died with a whimper. When the woman came to the underworld, she saw Meng Po and suddenly asked her very lightly: "Old woman, did a man tell you here that he would not forget me and would definitely come back to me?" Meng Po nodded. The woman was very distressed, and choked up: "Then why did he come back and refuse to recognize me, even if he said something to me, it would be good to come and see me before I die." Meng Po patted her on the shoulder and said, "You love each other very much, I appreciate your courage, so let's do it, when the answer comes in twenty years, I promise to let you see, but you can't be reincarnated before this, and you have to suffer here for twenty years, are you willing?" The woman said: "I am willing, if I don't see that answer, I can't let go of my love for him, even if I am reincarnated, I will have a heartache for a lifetime." The woman was then arranged by Meng Po to hoe the grass on the other side, in fact, there was no grass to hoe, but the woman's eyes were full of grass, hoeing and growing, and the hoeing would never be finished, just day after day, year after year.

The legend of the flower on the other side extends

Red Beyond Flower Manzhu Sahua

It means that the red flower that blooms in the heavenly realm, so it is also called the other side flower, the end of the world, it blooms in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, so the flower language is "sad memory". It is believed to be a flower that grows along the Santu River. Floral legends have magical powers that evoke memories of the deceased.

In the folk, the three days before and after the spring equinox are called the other side of spring, and the three days before and after the autumn equinox are called the other side of autumn. It is the day of going to the grave. The flowers on the other side bloom during the autumn period, which is very punctual, so it is called the other side flowers. And most of the places where it grows are in the field paths, river trails and cemeteries, so it is also called the dead man's flower. As soon as autumn arrives, it blooms with flowers that are so colorful that they are close to red and black, and the whole flower looks shocking red, like fire, like blood, and like a flower. The flowers on the other side are the flowers that bloom on the road of the Yellow Springs, where there are a large number of flowers, which look like a carpet paved with blood from a distance, and are called "the road of fire" because of their red fire, and people follow the guidance of this flower to the hell of the underworld.

White Beyond Flower Mandala Hua

Mandala Hua originally meant the flower of the sky, the big white lotus, one of the four auspicious omen from the sky, strictly speaking, now the use of Manzhu Sawa is just another name for the flower of the other side Manju Sawa can not be said to be the flower of the other side, the other side and the shore is life and death, the other side of the shore is the other side, so standing on the other side of the shore to see this shore, what is the difference between this shore and the other shore? Because the mandala flower often blooms near the cemetery, the color is pure white, the flowering period is close to the autumn equinox (a Japanese festival of festivals), and the mandala flowers are falling and blooming, and the flowers are never seen, so in Japanese legends, this flower carries the ominous color of death and separation, and is more often used in funerals. However, there is no such saying in China, and the mandala flower has become a common festive flower because of its bright color.
