There are four legends about lily flowers:
1. In one legend about lily flowers, it is said that there was a country called Shu in the Sui area in ancient times. The monarch and the queen loved each other deeply, and they had a hundred princes.
When the monarch and the queen grew older, the monarch married a young and beautiful concubine. The concubine gave birth to a young prince for the old monarch the following year.
The old monarch was very happy to have a son at an old age and宠loved him dearly. However, the concubine had different thoughts. She thought that her son could not compete with the hundred princes born to the queen for the throne. So she slandered the queen, saying that she had incited the hundred princes to rebel. The old monarch, being senile and unable to distinguish right from wrong, ordered the queen and the hundred princes to be banished from the country.
The neighboring country of Shu was called Dian. Dian had long been eyeing Shu's land and wanted to invade it. Seeing that the monarch of Shu was so foolish and even banished his own son from the country, Dian believed the time was ripe and immediately launched an attack on Shu.
Although Shu was originally a powerful country, the civil and military ministers, seeing the monarch favoring the concubine, believing her slander, and banishing the queen and princes, all lost their morale and were unwilling to serve the monarch. As a result, Dian's army quickly captured cities and approached the capital of Shu. The situation was extremely critical.
In his helplessness, the monarch had to personally lead the troops. However, being old and weak, and having lost his credibility, no one in the army was willing to fight for him. Just then, the monarch saw a group of horsemen coming from afar, not many in number but exceptionally brave, rushing into the enemy's ranks and fierce fighting, actually routing the enemy and sending the few survivors in a disorganized retreat.
When the monarch led his troops to meet them, he realized that the seemingly divine army was actually the hundred princes he had banished, along with their retainers.
At that moment, the monarch was both happy and ashamed, so moved that he didn't know what to say. An old minister hurried forward and said to the monarch, "Your Majesty, a united family prospers. You should bring the queen and the princes back to the palace. Only when the family is reunited can the country thrive." The eldest prince said, "Father, please rest assured. Mother has always taught us to unite and support you, and to treat the concubine and the younger brother kindly. We, the hundred brothers, will never be separated and will help you govern the country together." The monarch was so moved that he couldn't speak.
Later, the queen and the hundred princes were indeed brought back, and the concubine also admitted her mistake. From then on, Shu became even stronger and more prosperous.
Shortly after, a strange thing happened. In the high mountains where the princes had fought the enemy, an unusual plant grew spontaneously. Later, people named it "lily" because of its underground stem's layered structure, which reminded them of the story of the hundred sons saving the king of Shu, giving it a name symbolizing brotherly unity.
Later, modern people also compare lilies to love, symbolizing "eternal harmony"...
2. Another legend about lily flowers is that there was a beautiful lily growing on a distant cliff, with a lily fairy living there, but only those with good intentions could see it. If someone with evil intentions wanted to pick it, they would find the cliff disappear when they approached, and when they walked away, the lily would still be on the top of the mountain.
The lily had been on the mountain for nearly a thousand years, hoping that one day someone with a sincere heart would come. She could bear the endless loneliness for this.
One day, a boy heard the legend and went through countless hardships to find it. Before entering the mountain area, he smelled a refreshing fragrance and seemed to hear a silvery laughter.
When he reached the top of the mountain, he saw a lily quietly growing there. The gentle breeze made it twirl like a girl dancing, a scene indescribable in words. The boy was stunned and couldn't say a word. In this world, there could be such a beautiful flower, seeing it was like seeing his dream lover!
The boy built a grass shed on the slope so he could see the lily every day. He watered, fertilized, and shaded the lily. Whenever he had time, he would gaze at the lily, his eyes burning as if it were his lover. He gently touched the petals, as if he were touching his lover's face, whispering his longing to it all day long.
Gradually, the lily would twirl when it saw him, and when the wind blew, it would even emit a laugh, as if happy to see him. One day, a beautiful girl in white appeared next to the lily; this was the legendary lily fairy, moved by the boy's sincerity. "Come with me," the boy joyfully said, "I will make you happy."
The lily's eyes, which had seen the world's sorrows and joys, sparkled with him. The boy's eyes were sincere and loving, perhaps he could be trusted. "I have been lonely for a long time and can now enjoy the happiness of the world," she thought.
The boy said, "Let the moon and the mountains bear witness to my love!" Hugging the lily, he said, "I will never leave you. I will slowly accompany you to the ends of the world and grow old with you." The lily leaned against him, feeling that she was no longer a floating cloud.
The next day, the lily left the cliff where she grew, taking only the lily plant with her. The boy took her to an inn and said, "Wait for me here, I will come back to pick you up." The lily waited and waited until a month later, when she heard the sound of joyous music outside. Going out, she saw the boy riding a horse, with a new bride in the flower sedan chair next to him.
At the sound of a crisp crack, the lily's pot fell to the ground, the petals falling one by one, and with a gust of wind, it disappeared without a trace. The lily's face was covered with tears. At that moment, it started to rain, and the people in the street saw the lily's figure gradually fade away, like smoke disappearing! The boy suddenly fell off his horse, unconscious, and after recovering, he could only say "lily" and nothing else.
It is said that the path to the cliff where the lily grows was overnight covered with thorns, and small blue flowers bloomed on them. People who heard this legend and wanted to find the legendary lily would fall unconscious for a day and a night when they approached the small flowers, and upon waking up, they would forget their purpose for coming. The legendary lily and the lily fairy also became legends, with no one seeing them again!
3. There is a legend about lilies in Germany that is known to people in almost all countries. A girl named Alice lived with her mother in the Harz Mountains. One day, when Duke Lompa passed by in a carriage, he saw Alice and thought she was a fairy descending from heaven. He immediately invited her to the city, thinking that as a duke, he had the power and influence to do as he pleased.
Alice, however, refused. The duke wouldn't take no for an answer and held onto the girl. The girl screamed for help, and suddenly, with a gust of divine wind, she disappeared. In her place, a lily grew, emitting a fragrant scent. This is the origin of the foreign legend of the lily. Lilies represent purity and respect, especially white lilies, which are highly regarded. At that time, it was fashionable for girls to wear white clothes and carry a lily, symbolizing nobility and chastity. In many Madonna paintings from the Middle Ages, lilies are depicted without stamens or pistils, symbolizing the absence of any sexual thoughts.

4. In Greek mythology, there is another legend about lilies: Zeus, the god of gods, had a son named Heracles, who had achieved 12 heroic deeds. Heracles heard that drinking the milk of the goddess Juno could make him immortal. However, it was not easy to obtain Juno's milk. Zeus thought of a plan and invited the gods to a feast, where he intentionally gave Juno a large amount of Nectar (the drink of the gods), which made Juno drunk. Then he called his son Heracles to come and drink Juno's milk. Heracles was so excited that he drank too fast, and some of the milk overflowed and fell to the ground, where it immediately turned into white and fragrant flowers, which people called lilies.
