Sunflowers have become the symbol of a world free of nuclear weapons. After Ukraine gave up its last nuclear warhead, the Defense Ministers of the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine met on a former Ukrainian missile base, June 4, 1996. They celebrated by scattering sunflower seeds and planting sunflowers. Former U.S. Secretary of Defense William Perry said, “Sunflowers instead of missiles in the soil would insure peace for future generations.”

前苏联人民热爱向日葵,并将它定为国花。现在俄罗斯把国花仍定为向日葵“更无柳絮因风起,惟有葵花向日倾”。向日葵,向往光明之花,合人带来美好希望之花,它全身是宝,把自己无私地奉献给人类。关于向日葵,历史上有一美妙传说。古代有一位农夫女儿名叫明姑,她憨厚老实,长得俊俏,却被后娘“女霸王”视为眼中钉,受到百般凌辱虐待。一次,因一件小事,顶撞了后娘一句,惹怒了后娘,使用皮鞭抽打她,可一下失手打到了前来劝解的亲生女儿身上,这时后娘又气又恨,夜里趁明姑娘熟睡之际挖掉了她的眼睛。明姑疼痛难忍,破门出逃,不久死去,死后在她坟上开着一盘鲜丽的黄花,终日面向阳光,它就是向日葵。表示明姑向往光明,厌恶黑暗之意,这传说激励人们痛恨暴、黑暗,追求光明。这向日葵便繁何至今。
