Chinese Painting Beauty

Chinese Painting Beauty

The red rose is more than just a flower, it indeed has become the representation of love. Its presence is felt and seen everywhere in any kind of art form, be it poetry, painting, and photography.

In fact, the presence of the red rose in our life is so strong that if you ask anybody, and I really mean anyone to close their eyes and picture a flower in their head, you can be sure that it is the image of a red rose!

An additional fascinating fact about the red rose is that it is recognized by all as the emblem of love, regardless of their ethnicity or belief.

While roses in general are related with love and romance, every rose color do have a unique and particular meaning. Thus, any rose would make a good romantic present but for one to offer a red rose is without a doubt to make a declaration of love!

Now, you may wonder why the red color of the rose became the representation of love, so let's go back a bit in time and discover more about what happened centuries ago...

Passion and Myth

Just like many of the flowers now found in Europe along with other western countries, the rose was first imported from Asia.

In ancient China, at a time where mystical beasts were wandering the land, one was particularly feared and that was the dragon Ryu (its name may vary depending on the folklore legends ). This dragon was really all-powerful and only destruction was left after its coming. No need to tell you how dreadful the situation was when the dragon was to strike during your marriage celebration.

That was until someone by chance discovered that the dragon was frightened of one thing, and one thing only: the red shade!

Understanding this fact, the Chinese quickly began to dress in red for their wedding costumes and also beautify in red.

Now you know why the red color is so important and prevalent in Chinese culture.^^

Anyhow, the rose always have been appreciated for its beauty. Having it part of wedding ceremonies only increased its association to love and romance, and through the myths, the red rose of love was born.

The Red Rose These Days

In our present days, far from heroes and dragons, the red color is still a pillar of Chinese culture and the red rose a worldwide symbol of love.

Further than love, the red rose in western countries has come to communicate deep passion too, making it the flower gift of choice for dates such as Valentine's day or any time one desires to make a pristine declaration of love to someone.

Conversely, when it comes to wedding, in the western culture the red rose of passion has customarily be replaced by the white rose of purity; but that my friends is another story.
