The spring of life, the purity and charm of youth have been reflected in the legends and myths of different peoples since ancient times. What does the symbol of youth look like? What fruits, plants, stones and colors did artists and poets identify with the dawn of human life? Let's try to find a bit of mystical meaning in things that are familiar to us...

Symbol of youth: fruit

One of the most famous symbols personifying youth and immortality is, without a doubt, the peach. The ripe fruit of this plant symbolizes the process of continuous renewal of life. peach tree correlates with spring, purity, feminine charm, as well as gentleness and peacefulness.

In the homeland of this plant - in China - the fabulous peach "Xian-tao" was considered a fruit that bestows eternal life. In the garden of Si-wan-mu, the goddess of immortality, the peach tree bloomed only once every three thousand years, and over the next three thousand years a magical fruit ripened on it.

In Japan, the peach tree represents the Tree of Life. In the cultures of many eastern peoples, peach was also endowed with magical properties, because they believed that evil forces were afraid of this plant. Protective talismans and amulets were made from its wood and seeds.

In Egypt, the peach fruit was considered a symbol of the infant Horus, a god revered as the personification of the rising sun. In Christianity, this fruit was associated with salvation and virtue, and in the Renaissance it symbolized sincerity and truthfulness.

What symbolizes youth: an apple or a peach

Let's break it down further. The question often arises about which fruit is a symbol of youth: an apple or a peach? It is generally accepted that it is the latter. As for the apple, its symbolic meanings are somewhat different. First of all, it is identified with the fullness of life and the joy of love between a man and a woman. It is also known as the “forbidden fruit”, and also as a “bone of discord” - the main subject of dispute and competition.

However, we should not forget that in ancient Greek myths it was the apples of the Hesperides, stolen by Hercules, that promised eternal youth to those who tasted them. Scandinavian also “famous” for stealing. The ability of this fruit to preserve and restore youth is told in many Russian fairy tales.

Symbol of youth: stone

What does the symbol of youth look like in gemology - the science of precious stones? It is believed that emerald is endowed with this meaning.

This bright green stone has been revered as a symbol since the times of Ancient Egypt. The Greeks also endowed it with healing qualities, and in the Arab world it acts as an exceptionally powerful magical talisman.

The ancients believed that this stone was endowed with the properties of driving away bad dreams, capable of strengthening the heart and spirit, and helping to overcome epilepsy. Currently, psychologists associate the color of this stone with creative impulses, the desire for stability and constancy. In the world of fashion, emerald jewelry is almost always relevant and appropriate, remaining a symbol of luxury and wealth.

Symbol of youth: color

In light of the meaning that myths give to the emerald, it is not difficult to guess what the symbol of youth looks like in color. Green - the color of spring grass, foliage on trees, regenerating nature and, in general, all living things - is considered by different peoples to be a symbol of youth, freshness, harmony and hope.

Considered key in the Islamic religion. Many believe that this color has a calming and calming effect on a person, gives him vigor and strength, relieves fatigue and charges him with positive energy.

On the other hand, along with the positive aspects of youth, the color green can also be associated with immaturity, lack of experience or imperfection (just remember the common sayings “young-green” or “green youth”). “Green” can also be melancholy, and a person can sometimes “turn green” with anger or envy - undoubtedly, this color is also capable of producing a depressing and sad impression. In medieval European countries, the traditional costume of a jester was often a yellow and green suit, and bankrupts in Germany were required to wear green hats.

Symbol of youth: plant

Everyone knows what the symbol of youth looks like in Japan. The national symbol of this country is the cherry blossom, which blooms for just over a week and serves as an allegory for many truths.

The ritual of admiring the flowers of this tree has been a favorite pastime of the Japanese for many centuries. The tender and quivering beauty of pinkish petals fluttering in the wind personifies both the freshness of youth and the fleeting nature of life.

Its delicate and subtle aroma also symbolizes youth, purity, joy and a bit of coquetry. At all times, lily flowers have been considered an example of exquisite taste. The name of the city "Susa" - the ancient Persian capital - means nothing more than "City of Lilies". In medieval France, this flower was considered a symbol of kings, and in Spain and Italy it was associated with the image of the Virgin Mary. The holiday dedicated to mothers is also called Lily Day in China. In both Christian and pagan traditions, this flower is identified with prosperity and peace.

The symbol of youth, the photo of which is posted below, is familiar to everyone. A snow-white chamomile with a bright yellow core, similar to a small sun, is also identified with purity, innocence, youth and love.

In ancient Egyptian mythology, chamomile was considered a flower dedicated to the Sun God, Ra. In the Scandinavian-Germanic tradition, there was a belief that this was one of the nine sacred plants that were once given to people by the god Odin. Chamomile appeared in Europe at the end of the nineteenth century, and in Russia even later, but today it has become a real symbol of this country. A bouquet of daisies is still considered a very touching gift from a young man to his beloved - sometimes these flowers can say much more about tender feelings than the most exquisite and exotic plants.
