Legend One
It is said that the narcissus is the incarnation of Yao Emperor's daughters, Ehuang and Nüying. They both married Shun, with the older sister as the queen and the younger sister as the concubine. The three had a good 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 people's suffering. When they heard that Shun died during his southern inspection, Ehuang and Nüying both sacrificed themselves to their love in the Xiangjiang River. The heavens pitied their deep love, so they turned the spirits of the two into narcissus flowers by the river, and they became the flower gods of the narcissus in December.
Legend Two
It is said that the Chongming narcissus comes from Fujian. In 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 sisters of the narcissus flowers in 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 only passed through the mouth of the Yangtze River, where she saw a piece of clean land in the river. She secretly slipped down to Chongming Island. Therefore, the Fujian narcissus has five flowers per plant, while the Chongming narcissus has one flower in full bloom.
