Legend One
It is said that narcissus is the incarnation of Yao Emperor's daughters,娥皇 and 女英. They both married Shun, with the elder sister becoming the queen and the younger sister becoming the concubine. The three of them 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 indulge in pleasures but always cared for the sufferings of the people. When they heard that Shun had passed away during his southern tour, 娥皇 and 女英 both sacrificed themselves for love in the Xiangjiang River. The heavens pitied their deep love and turned their spirits into narcissus flowers by the river, making them the flower gods of the narcissus in December.
Legend Two
It is said that the Chongming narcissus comes from Fujian. During 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 narcissus sisters from 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, so she stopped at the mouth of the Yangtze River 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 blooming.
The above is a comprehensive introduction to the meaning of narcissus flowers, briefly describing the connotations and symbols of narcissus. I hope it brings some knowledge about green plants to greenery enthusiasts.
