How much do you know about the origin of this flower symbolism? Today, the editor wants to share with everyone the story of the narcissus. Let's read on!
Legend One
It is said that the narcissus is the incarnation of Yao Emperor's daughters,娥皇 (Ehuang) and 女英 (Nüying). They both married Shun, with the older sister becoming the queen and the younger sister the concubine. The three of them had a great relationship. Although they were born into the royal family and were empresses, they were deeply influenced and taught by Yao and Shun. They did not indulge in pleasure but always cared for the sufferings of the people. Upon hearing that Shun died during his southern inspection tour, Ehuang and Nüying both sacrificed themselves to their love in the Xiang River. The heavens pitied their deep love and transformed their spirits into narcissus flowers by the river, making them the flower deities of the narcissus in December.
Legend Two
It is said that the Chongming narcissus comes from Fujian. During the Tang Dynasty, Empress Wu Zetian wanted all flowers to bloom simultaneously in her imperial garden. The flower god in heaven dared not defy her order, and the six narcissus sisters from Fujian were no exception. They were forced to travel west to Chang'an.
The youngest sister did not want to bloom for the empress alone and, upon reaching the mouth of the Yangtze River, saw a piece of pure land in the middle of the river. She secretly slipped away to Chongming Island. Therefore, the Fujian narcissus has five flowers per plant, while the Chongming narcissus has one flower blooming.
