Legend of the stonecrop flower 1
In the past, at the foot of a mountain, there was a village where there was a family with a daughter named Bai Zhu.
Bai Zhu was lively, clever, and beautiful since childhood, and was a well-known girl in the area.
There was also a young man named Shi Kang in the area, who was handsome, loyal, and kind.
The two lived close by, and as they grew older, they fell deeply in love with each other. However, Bai Zhu's parents did not agree to the marriage because Shi Kang's family was too poor.
Nevertheless, the two continued to visit each other closely, and Shi Kang even gave Bai Zhu a piece of red silk as a token of their love.

One year, on the 15th day of the first lunar month, Bai Zhu went to the city to admire the lanterns with her sisters from the village and was noticed by a wealthy man named Liu Wenchang.
Liu Wenchang was nearly fifty years old and liked to drink and chase women. Seeing that the Liu family was powerful and offered a generous dowry, Bai Zhu's parents planned to accept the marriage. However, Bai Zhu refused to agree, saying she would only marry Shi Kang.
When Liu Wenchang's proposal was rejected, he decided to frame Shi Kang. It happened that the local county was making farmers go to the mountains to repair temples, and Liu Wenchang colluded with the county office to have Shi Kang arrested.
Shortly after Shi Kang arrived at the mountain, he disappeared, and upon hearing the news, Bai Zhu was heartbroken. She knew Liu Wenchang must have done it and decided to avenge Shi Kang.
So, she pretended to accept the marriage and on the day of the wedding, she stabbed the drunk Liu Wenchang with a pair of scissors she had hidden at her waist and then ran out the door into the darkness of the night.

Bai Zhu ran to the top of the mountain but couldn't find Shi Kang and was driven to the edge of a cliff by Liu Wenchang's men who were chasing her.
Bai Zhu wrapped the red silk given to her by Shi Kang around herself and jumped off the cliff.
Shortly after Bai Zhu's death, a person with numerous injuries stumbled to her body; this person was Shi Kang.
It turned out that after being pushed off the cliff by Liu Wenchang's men, he had luckily grabbed onto a branch and passed out. When he woke up, he didn't dare to go home and survived by eating wild fruits in a cave. One day, he heard someone calling his name and used all his strength to crawl towards the sound, but unfortunately, he was too late.
Shi Kang was so overcome with grief that he held Bai Zhu's body and cried his eyes out, then he撞死 himself against a rock.
Later, people buried them together, and the red silk on Bai Zhu's body turned into bright red flowers.
People learned about their love story and combined their names to call the flower "stonecrop flower."

Legend of the stonecrop flower 2
The legend goes that a long time ago, in the mountains of Northeast China, there was an ordinary family named Shi.
The old couple had only one son named Shi Zhu. When Shi Zhu was just learning to talk, his father, Shi Lao Han, fell to his death while gathering herbs in the mountains. From then on, the mother and son relied on each other, living a difficult life.
Shi Zhu was very thin and weak, and had a strange illness since childhood. Shi Zhu's mother didn't hesitate to go into the mountains every day to gather herbs in the hope of curing her son's illness. However, she couldn't find the right herb for years.
She became more and more anxious and sad, unable to hold back her tears, which rolled down the mountain crevices.

To her surprise, a flower grew from the crack where her hot tears had fallen. She was then surprised to hear a sweet girl's voice speaking, "Old mother, pull out the whole plant and take it home to boil in water for your son to drink; it can cure his illness."
Shi Zhu's mother followed the fairy's instructions and boiled the plant with its roots for Shi Zhu to drink. After taking it for three days, his illness was cured.
News of Shi Zhu's mother finding the fairy and the herb spread quickly. Many poor people with similar illnesses came to Shi Zhu's mother for the herb, and it worked every time.
People didn't know the name of the herb, but since it was Shi Zhu's mother who found it and it could cure illnesses, they called it "Shi Zhu's mother's flower," and eventually, it was simply called "stonecrop flower."
