Legend One
It is said that the narcissus is the incarnation of Yao's daughter, Ehuang and Nuying. They both married Shun, with the older sister as the queen and the younger sister as the concubine. The three of them 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 seek enjoyment but were always concerned about the sufferings of the people. Upon hearing that Shun had died during his southern inspection tour, Ehuang and Nuying both drowned themselves in the Xiang River out of sorrow. The heavens pitied their deep love and turned their spirits into narcissus flowers by the river, making them the flower goddesses of the narcissus in the twelfth month.
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 heavenly flower god 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. She passed through the Yangtze River estuary and saw a piece of pure land in the middle of the river. She secretly slipped down to the Chongming Island. Therefore, the Fujian narcissus has five flowers per plant, while the Chongming narcissus has one flower in full bloom.
