What characters did the redbud represent in ancient times?

In ancient legends, there is a story that describes Jingzhao Yin Tian Zhen and his brothers Tian Qing and Tian Guang, and after they distributed all their possessions, only a redbud tree remained. They decided to divide the tree into three parts, but when they came to cut it down, they found that it had withered and fallen all over the ground. Tian Zhen sighed to the sky:

People are not as good as wood! ”。Since then, the three brothers have no longer separated and lived in harmony, and the redbud tree has also gained vitality and flourished flowers.

This story has been widely circulated and has become a symbol of family affection and brotherly unity.

However, this is only a symbol in ancient culture and does not represent a specific person. In ancient times, redbuds were not associated with specific characters as they are in modern culture.

In ancient times, people used bauhinia flowers to compare family affection and brotherhood. Legend has it that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhao Yin Tianzhen and his brothers Tian Qing and Tian Guang were separated, and all the property had been distributed, and the remaining Bauhinia tree was intended to be divided into three parts. When the brothers came to cut down the tree, they found that the tree had withered and fallen all over the ground.

Tian Zhen couldn't help but sigh to the sky: "People are not as good as wood!" ”。

Since then, the three brothers have no longer separated and lived in harmony, and the redbud tree has also gained vitality and flourished flowers. Lu Ji wrote a poem for this: "Three jinghuan are on the same plant, and four birds are sad and different forests."

Li Bai said with emotion: "The Tian family is in a hurry, and the blue sky destroys Bauhinia during the day. ”
