How much do you know about the origin of this flower language? Today, the editor wants to learn about the story of narcissus with everyone, let's read on!
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 queen and the younger sister as the concubine. The three of them got along very well. Although they were born into the royal family and were empresses, they were deeply influenced and taught by Yao and Shun. They did not追求享乐, but always cared about the sufferings of the people. When they heard that Shun died while on a southern inspection tour, Ehuang and Nüying both sacrificed themselves to their love in the Xiangjiang River. Out of sympathy for their deep love, the heavens turned their spirits into narcissus by the river, and they also became the flower goddesses of the narcissus in the twelfth month.
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 Fujian narcissus sisters were no exception, being forced to go west to Chang'an.
The youngest sister did not want to bloom alone for the empress and only traveled to 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 in full bloom.
