Legend One
It is said that narcissus is the incarnation of Yao Emperor's daughters, Ehuang and Nüying. They both married Shun, with the older sister as the empress 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, not indulging in pleasure, but always caring for the sufferings of the people. When they heard that Shun died during his southern inspection tour, Ehuang and Nüying both sacrificed themselves to their love in the Xiangjiang River. The heavens pitied the deep love of the two and turned their spirits into narcissus by the river, making them the flower deities of the narcissus in December.
Legend Two
It is said that 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 heavenly flower god dared not defy her order, and the six sisters of the narcissus flower in Fujian were no exception, forced to go west to Chang'an.
The youngest sister did not want to bloom alone for the empress and only passed through the mouth of the Yangtze River, where she saw a piece of pure land in the middle of the river and secretly slipped down to Chongming Island. Therefore, the Fujian narcissus has five flowers per plant, while the Chongming narcissus has one flower blooming.
