Flower Deity Oracle / No. 18 / Chrysanthemum Twelve Flower Deities X Twenty-four Tang and Song Dynasty Poems X New Interpretation of Oracle Messages A traditional custom involving the Flower Deity: "On the day of the Mangzhong (Grain in Ear) festival, offerings of various gifts are made to bid farewell to the Flower Deity. It is said that after Mangzhong, summer arrives, all flowers wither, and the Flower Deity abdicates, requiring a proper send-off. This custom is particularly popular among young women. In the Grand View Garden, everyone rises early. The girls weave chariots and horses from petals and willow branches, or create banners and pennants from silk brocade and gauze, all tied with colorful threads. These adornments are hung on every tree and every flower branch. The garden is filled with fluttering embroidered ribbons and gracefully swaying flower branches, and the girls themselves, dressed so beautifully that they put peaches to shame and make orioles envious, are a sight beyond words." —Dream of the Red Chamber, Chapter 27 - - - It's like this: the vibrant bloom of a thousand colors, your youthful heart's stirrings, the depth of your autumn sentiments—all because you are worthy.
