Love is the most mysterious and unknown feeling on earth. And although every person experiences it throughout his life, no one can really explain what it is. Even scientists and doctors are unable to give a scientific explanation. Although, even if there were some kind of love formula, would something have changed from that? After all, joy, happiness or pain would still remain the same.
From the most ancient years, people come up with a symbol of love. The heart as the personification of happiness and the most wonderful feeling on earth is customary to depict all over the world. Even on St. Valentina all rooms are decorated with hearts of various colors and shapes. Well, why exactly this sign? According to legend, this symbol of love and happiness came from a pair of swans, who swayed romantically against the sunset, connecting their heads and chests. In addition, everyone knows that these birds are faithful to their chosen one or chosen one for life. Many people should take the example of swans, because without their other half the birds cannot even live on, they die. Devotion worthy of attention. That is why symbolism in the shape of a heart is accepted all over the world.
There are other versions of where the symbol of love came from. So, people believe that the heart also goes back to duality, that is, to the number two, because people are two halves of the whole, mirror reflections. And the heart is two deuces that reflect each other. According to another hypothesis, the heart goes back to the female buttocks, because it was their Greeks who revered earlier as a symbol of love and happiness. The ancient men of Greece believed that this was the most beautiful part of the female body. Pretty prosaic, but very possible.
Of course, no one will ever know why the symbol of love is the heart, and even today it does not matter. The main thing is that people have already accepted this sign of love and they know it all over the world. Having presented a toy or a heart-shaped pendant to your loved one, you tell him that he is more expensive than anyone in the world. A romantic dinner or declaration of love does not pass without hearts.
However, there are many representatives of the flora, personifying love. So, a symbol of love and happiness - birch, willow, grapes, spruce, ash, poplar, etc. It all depends on what kind of environment and among which people you are. But the most famous tree associated with great feeling is the tangerine tree. This is the Chinese symbol of love, because it is believed that its acidic fruits arouse passion in a person, and tangerine juice can return love and the power of a sexual plan even to an old man. How true this is, of course, is unknown.
Egyptian symbol of love - queen of flowers rose. She personifies paradise pleasure, virginity, happiness, beauty, bliss, memory, eternity, etc. Why in ancient Egypt they worshiped a rose? Because these flowers were dedicated to the goddess of marital fidelity, motherhood and beauty Isis, for she is “all that is and what will be,” that is, love.
Of course, what a rose means depends on its color. White flower - purity, virginity, purity, pink - hope, yellow - the wish of good, blue - impossibility and unrealizability.
It is still believed that the language of flowers exists . And forget-me-nots, and peonies, and lilacs, and even cloves can tell about a person’s love. And the most popular flower, similar to the sun, is chamomile. “Loves, does not love” - surely every person living in the world was engaged in this stupid thing, not caring for the environment and believing that fortune telling on the daisy petals is true.
Of the birds, besides swans, doves also represent love, which are also very attached to each other, are not capable of betrayal and bring harmony with them. Swallows are a symbol of love and happiness, nightingales signify a pure feeling with their singing, etc.
Thus, the single symbol of love is the heart. And others depend on the picture of the world of native speakers, on their life ideas. However, it doesn’t matter at all what is considered a sign of feeling; the main thing is that love, peace and mutual understanding reign everywhere.
