Chasing away misfortune, welcoming happiness with Peach Blossoms
Peach blossoms are often associated with luck, festivals, good omens, and hopes for the new year. They have also been immortalized in poetry, symbolizing spring, youth, and love.
The traditional Vietnamese Lunar New Year is always associated with the image of peach blossoms. Seeing peach blossoms is seeing the arrival of spring, the New Year, festivals, and joy.
The image of peach trees with vibrant blossoms blooming on dry branches is a beautiful symbol of auspiciousness and wealth.
People display pots of peach blossoms in their homes on Tet with the hope that the new year will bring prosperity, prosperity to the family, and luck as vibrant as peach blossoms.
The fresh beauty of peach blossoms is also considered the quintessence of heaven and earth, highly cherished by the ancients.
In feng shui, peach blossoms can help chase away evil spirits and bad luck, thereby bringing peace and happiness to people in the new year.
A house with peach blossoms in full bloom promises a good year ahead, with abundant business, a prosperous family, and a bright fortune.
According to the ancients, the pink color of peach blossoms also brings luck, warmth, joy, and peace, hoping for a peaceful and prosperous new year.
Apricot Blossoms bring the Five Blessings
Apricot blossoms are also one of the “Four Gentlemen” flowers. They symbolize pride, youth, and spring. Apricot blossoms have the ability to live and thrive in harsh weather conditions.
Therefore, the image of this flower is compared to the image of a nobleman who is always strong, resilient, and powerful in overcoming difficulties and hardships.
Apricot blossoms are also beloved flowers for the New Year. In particular, during the traditional Vietnamese Tet, alongside peach blossoms, people also like to display apricot blossoms, especially yellow apricots, to bring luck and wealth.
The more beautiful and vibrant your apricot flowers are on Tet, the more prosperity, joy, abundant money, and happy family you will have in the new year.
In addition, the bright yellow color of apricot blossoms is also seen as a symbol of wealth, prosperity, just like you are displaying “gold trees” in your home. The bright yellow color also symbolizes hope, peace, and a bountiful harvest.
Apricot blossoms are also symbolic of the five blessings: happiness, fortune, longevity, success, and harmony.
Therefore, the ancients advised planting apricot blossoms to welcome the five blessings into the home.
Chrysanthemums welcome good luck
Chrysanthemums are humble, affordable flowers that are popular in our daily lives but are considered the “Four Gentlemen” flowers, alongside orchids, bamboo, and apricot blossoms.
Chrysanthemums are not only used as decorative plants indoors, in parks, or for flower arrangements, but they are also used in funerals, offering altars, and incense burning to show respect for the deceased.
During Tet, many people like to display pots of chrysanthemums to welcome joy, luck, and fortune.
Chrysanthemums also have a romantic beauty, which is reflected in poetry, with deep beauty and profound meaning.
In feng shui, chrysanthemums are symbols of life, bringing more fortune and welcoming luck into the home. Yellow chrysanthemums are particularly popular for placing at the front of the house during Tet and the arrival of spring.
In addition, chrysanthemums have medicinal properties and are used to treat various ailments. They have cooling, detoxifying effects, improve vision, lower blood pressure, and can help reduce symptoms such as eye strain and high blood pressure.
Furthermore, chrysanthemums can be used to make tea, which has cooling and thirst-quenching effects, treats insomnia, prevents cancer, reduces aging, reduces stress and anxiety, and beautifies the skin.
Therefore, it is believed that having a few pots of chrysanthemums in your home can make your life better.
Orchids attract auspiciousness and wealth
Orchids also hold a significant position in traditional culture. The ancients liked to grow orchid flowers, hang orchid paintings, and play with orchids.
Orchids are diverse, with each species having its own unique and auspicious beauty. The beauty of orchids is not only in the flowers but also in the leaves, roots, and fragrance that captivate many people.
Aside from their beauty, orchids have an enchanting allure, signifying nobility, exuding a high, proud, and haughty temperament.
According to feng shui, orchids are symbols of positive energy and good luck. Placing orchids in the home not only helps eliminate negative energy but also brings peace and luck to every family member.
During Tet, many families also like to display orchids in their homes, especially phalaenopsis orchids.
The large, vibrant blossoms symbolize attracting auspiciousness, good luck, and wealth into the home during the new year.
Phalaenopsis orchids symbolize abundance, having many descendants in the family, making them popular among many people.
Peonies bring abundance and prosperity
Peonies have a noble temperament that makes people feel wealthy, peaceful, and prosperous, which is a common goal for most people. That is why many people especially love peonies.
In addition to their beauty, peonies have a romantic language, which makes them popular among young people and flower enthusiasts.
In the past, peonies were only grown in noble houses and even palace gardens, so this flower symbolizes wealth, extravagance, and royalty.
According to the ancients, growing peonies in the home means wishing for a prosperous and long-lasting life, successful achievements, and full happiness. This flower has large flowers, diverse colors, extremely elegant, delicate, and beautiful, which are less than any other flower.
Because it symbolizes abundance and prosperity, peonies are used to display and wishing for wealth for the homeowner.
Peonies have a lifespan of over 100 years, and their prices increase over time, making them a valuable inheritance.
Therefore, the ancients advised planting peonies to bring three generations of prosperity and wealth.
