The beginning and end of fate, flowers bloom and dust fall. Half good, half evil and half nothing, it is difficult to understand and return to the truth. The origin and author of this poem cannot be verified, but it seems to have been written by a yogi.
Translation:
Fate falls one after another, and in the end, no matter how big the fate is, it will run out, flowers will bloom and fall, and in the end, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they will turn to dust. Half is good, half is evil, and everything follows one's heart, which is hard to understand and return to nature.

This sentence comes from a story. Epiphyllum is a little flower god. Under the careful care of the gardener who watered and weeded him, the epiphyllum grew exceptionally bright and fragrant. Under the condition of getting along day and night, Epiphyllum fell in love with the gardener who took care of himself every day.
This incident was accidentally known by the Jade Emperor, who was very angry. In a rage, he sent the gardener to jiusan to become a monk, and changed his name to Wei Tuo, hoping that he would forget the flower god. The flower god did not escape the punishment of the jade emperor, who only punished him for one moment a year, and the two could not meet each other.
As the days passed, Wei Tuo devoted himself to practice, but he really forgot the flower god, but the affectionate flower god could not forget him. He was always looking for opportunities to get to know Wei Tuo again. Every year at the end of spring, Wei Tuo goes down the mountain to collect morning dew, and epiphyllum blooms the essence of a year's practice, hoping to attract Wei Tuo's attention. But Wei Tuo never admitted it. Epiphyllum is very melancholy and helpless.
Until the emergence of the old Yu Manming family, he passed by this place every year and saw a depressed epiphyllum. He was curious to ask why he was so sad. Epiphyllum admitted that she was punished for loving the Jade Emperor, and now her lover has forgotten, so she naturally feels uncomfortable.
The old man Yu was moved by the sincerity of a flash in the pan and sighed, "You are just a flash in the pan for me. How can this sincere feeling be wrong? " I also had a fruitless fate 80 years ago. Let me give you a hand today. "So Yu Ming grabbed Epiphyllum and went to Buddhism together. After Epiphyllum met Wei Tuo in the Buddhist country, the Buddha allowed Wei Tuo to descend to earth and dissolved his marriage.
However, Yu Ming's family helped Epiphyllum, and he broke the heaven. He can't drive a crane to the west, but his soul can only wander around without reincarnation. Yu Ming's family sacrificed themselves for the recognition of Epiphyllum and Wei Tuo. Epiphyllum also fulfilled his wish because of his deep affection and persistence. It's really a warm fairy tale.
