The flower language of Agave is desperate for love. There is a sad and beautiful love story behind this flower language, but it is not as profound as the story of the birth of tequila, and it has more educational significance.
Agave is native to the tropics of America. Its hometown is Mexico. And this legend has something to do with Mexico.
It's said that before the discovery of the American continent, there was a tribe in the ancient Mexico City. They loved peace, but they would resist the invasion of foreign countries. Later, however, the leader, metmok, wanted to conquer other tribes by force.
In his neighboring tribe, the leader of the tribe had a beautiful daughter, and metmok sent a messenger to see the leader and asked to marry his daughter. But the leader refused, and metmerck felt insulted, so he launched a war and captured the tribe in one night.
From then on, they became savage and belligerent, burning all over the world, and soon all tribes were under the rule of metmok.
One day, mettmoke began to march to the mountain tribes in the north. He wanted to marry the daughter of the tribal leader. If the leader didn't agree, he would start a war. Before that, he saw the moon goddess. The moon goddess said, "you have done many evil things, destroyed many beautiful fields and killed many good people. Now you want to force a beautiful girl to be your wife. Do you know who will fall in love with such a cruel person as you? "
Metmerck was very uneasy, in a trance, and felt guilty about what he had done before. So the next day, metmerck decided not to fight again. After negotiating with the leader of Gaoshan tribe, he would not attack them even if he did not want to marry his daughter to himself.
As a result, the leader of the tribe refused to marry his daughter to metmark. Metmerck restrained himself and vowed to mend his ways from now on. He led his troops back to his hometown. After efforts, peace reappeared in the tribe, and the leaders of other tribes also eliminated their fear of him.
Seven months later, mettmoke was ready to make another courtship to the leader of the Mountain Tribe. Metmerck brought in priests and wizards and held a ceremony. At the ceremony, metmok met the God of water. The God of water told him that it was good to change his mind, but it was not enough to rely on personal power. Only following the God could do good deeds forever. As a result, mettmoc became a beautiful agave.
Since then, tequila has appeared on the plateau of Ancient Mexico. The local Indians used its juice to make wine, its fiber to weave cloth, and its branches and leaves to cover the roof.
All people yearn for peace, but hate war, and even hate those who wage war in order to occupy other people's homes. Just like the brutal mettmoke, although he tried to change it later, he was turned into a Agave, which was always used by people to redeem his guilt.
