Today, I will share with you the story of the narcissus flower, let's read on!
Legend One
It is said that the narcissus is the incarnation of Yao Emperor's daughters,娥皇 and 女英. They both married Shun, with the older sister as the queen and the younger sister as the concubine. The three of them had a very good relationship. Although they came from the royal family and were empresses, they were deeply influenced and taught by Yao and Shun. They did not seek pleasure but always cared about the sufferings of the people. When they heard that Shun passed away during his southern inspection,娥皇 and 女英 drowned themselves in the Xiang River out of love. The heavens pitied their deep love and turned their spirits into narcissus flowers by the river, and they also became 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 at the same time in her imperial garden. The Flower God in heaven dared not defy her order, and the six narcissus sisters from Fujian were no exception, forced to travel west to Chang'an.
The youngest sister did not want to bloom for the Empress alone, so she passed through the mouth of the Yangtze River and saw a piece of clean land in the middle of the river. She sneaked down to the Chongming Island. Therefore, the Fujian narcissus has five flowers per plant, while the Chongming narcissus has one flower in full bloom.
