How much do you know about the origin of this flower language? Today, the editor is going to share with you the story of the narcissus, let's read on!
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 older sister as the queen and the younger sister as the concubine. The three had a very good relationship. Although they came from the royal family and were empresses, they were deeply influenced and taught by Yao and Shun. They did not indulge in pleasure but always cared about the sufferings of the people. When they heard that Shun had passed away during his southern inspection tour, Ehuang and Nüying both sacrificed themselves to their love in the Xiang River. The heavens pitied the deep love of the two, so they turned their spirits into narcissus by the river, and they also became 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 go west to Chang'an.
The youngest sister did not want to bloom for the empress alone, so she passed through the mouth of the Yangtze River and saw a piece of pure land in the middle of the river. She secretly slipped down to Chongming Island. Therefore, the Fujian narcissus has five flowers blooming on one plant, while the Chongming narcissus has one flower blooming.
