In ancient times, there was a parasitic plant called “tù sī” (parasitic vine). Unable to grow independently, it had to rely on other plants for survival. One such plant it often clung to was “nǚ luó” (ivy). This symbiotic relationship between tù sī and nǚ luó was common in nature, and people used it as a metaphor to describe a dependent or attached relationship between people. It signified a close bond where one person relied heavily on the other for support.
