🎨 于非闇 In ancient Chinese culture, the magpie symbolizes good fortune and propriety. Known for its meticulous nature, the magpie builds its nest only with high, clean branches, reflecting its preference for purity. It chooses branches where both mates contribute, signifying chastity, and nests facing the sky while avoiding the Tai Sui, showing wisdom. During windy years, it avoids precarious branches, displaying foresight. The presence of a horizontal beam in the nest, where the male perches, illustrates a sense of order. Similarly, a family that practices virtue will enjoy enduring blessings. 世傳鵲結巢取木杪之枝,不取墮地者,多潔一也。傳其枝而受卵,雌雄共接者乃用,不淫二也。開戶向天,而背太歲,有識三也。歲多風,則去巢旁之危枝,先知四也。巢中有橫木,虛度如梁,雄者踞之,有分五也。以比則積善之家,必有余慶者也。

In #ChineseCulture, "Furong(芙蓉)" initially referred to the lotus but later came to denote the hibiscus. An ancient legend tells of a woman who, grieving her lost husband, saw his face in the river and believed he had become a tree to stay by her side. 1/2
