Not so long ago, most of Europe's population was familiar with good manners, what colours meant single or cominded, and the language of flowers was common knowledge.

I was quite surprised to find out that not only flowers were used as messengers in ancient times, but leaves, some herbs and even some vegetables were used to convey a message when I read the book "The Galanthomme, or the Companion as he should be. An Instruction to Make oneself Popular by One's Way of Life and to Acquire the Favour of the Fair Sex, fourth and improved edition, 1842.

On page 106 the book reads, "Blade of Grass: Give me an answer."

I think it is lovely to look at the blades of grass moving in the rather strong wind we had that day. Christian Schlegel captured this scene when we were out looking for beautiful landscapes to film for our views on our Gan Jing World Channel.

Now that I know what "blade of grass" means in the language of flowers. I like this scene even more. I do not know about you, dear viewer, but I still have a lot of questions about life and about our cosmos in which we all live. So all the grass saying: (Please) give me an answer... for all my unanswered questions I find this thought actually quite nice.

By the way: Galanthomme has much more to say, for it contains: rules of etiquette and manners; love letters and poems; greetings; declarations of love; proposals of marriage; language of flower; langauge of signs and colours; birthday poems; New Year's=; and other wishes; declamations; social songs; amusing tricks; parlour games; forfeits; witty anecdotes; acrostics; mottoes for family books; and toasts. - A complete book of entertainment and instruction for gentlemen of every station.

不久之前，歐洲大多數人都熟悉良好的禮儀，了解顏色的單獨或搭配的含義，花語也是常識。

我很驚訝地發現，在古代不僅僅有花朵被用作傳遞信息的信使，還有葉子、一些草本植物甚至蔬菜。當我閱讀1842年出版的《Galanthomme，或同行如何成為一個會使自己受歡迎的指南，贏得公平性别青睞》四版改進版時，才得知這一點。

書中第106頁寫道：“草葉：給我一個答案。”

我覺得看著草葉在那天猛烈的風中搖曳是可愛的。當時我們正在尋找美麗的風景來拍攝我們在干凈世界頻道上的觀點時，克里斯蒂安·施萊格爾捕捉到了這一幕。

現在我知道“草葉”在花語中的含義，我更喜歡這一景象了。我不知道你，親愛的觀眾，但我對生活和我們所有生活其中的宇宙仍然有很多問題。所以所有的草都在說：“（請）給我一個答案……對於我所有未被回答的問題，我覺得這個想法實際上相當不錯。

順便說一下：Galanthomme有更多話要說，因為它包含：禮儀和風度的規則；情書和詩歌；問候語；表白；求婚；花語；標誌和顏色的語言；生日詩歌；新年祝福和其他祝福；演講；社交歌曲；有趣的戲法；客廳遊戲；罰則；機智的軼事；頭銜，對於家庭書籍；和祝酒詞。- 一本為各個階層紳士提供娛樂和教育的完整書籍。
