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 elder sister as the queen and the younger as the concubine. The three had a great 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 always cared for the sufferings of the people. Upon hearing that Shun passed away during his southern tour, Ehuang and Nüying both drowned themselves in the Xiang River out of sorrow. The heavens pitied their deep love and turned their spirits into narcissus 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. In the Tang Dynasty, Empress Wu Zetian wanted all flowers to bloom simultaneously in her imperial garden. The heavenly flower god did not dare to defy her order, and the six narcissus sisters from Fujian were no exception, being forced to travel west to Chang'an.
The youngest sister, unwilling to bloom for the empress alone, stopped at the mouth of the Yangtze River, saw a piece of pure land in the middle of the river, and secretly slipped away to Chongming Island. Therefore, the Fujian narcissus has five flowers blooming on one plant, while the Chongming narcissus has one flower blooming.
