Legend One
It is said that narcissus is the incarnation of Yao Emperor's daughters, Ehuang and Nvying. They both married Shun, with the elder sister as the queen and the younger sister as the concubine, and 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, and did not indulge in pleasure, but always cared about the sufferings of the people. When they heard that Shun died during his southern tour, Ehuang and Nvying both sacrificed themselves to their love in the Xiang River. The heavens pitied the deep love of the two, and turned their spirits into narcissus by the river, making them the flower gods 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, and the heavenly flower god dared not defy her order. The six narcissus sisters from Fujian were no exception, and 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 Yangtze River estuary and saw a piece of pure land in the river. She悄悄 slipped down to Chongming Island. Therefore, the five narcissus flowers from Fujian bloom on one plant, while the Chongming narcissus has one blooming flower.
