Legend One
It is said that the narcissus is the incarnation of Yao'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 were born into 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. Upon hearing that Shun had died during his southern tour, Ehuang and Nüying drowned themselves in the Xiang River out of grief. The heavens pitied their deep love and transformed their spirits into narcissus flowers by the river, making them the flower goddesses 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 simultaneously in her imperial garden. The flower god in heaven dared not defy her order, and the six sisters of the narcissus flowers in Fujian were no exception, being forced to travel west to Chang'an.
The youngest sister did not want to bloom solely for the empress and, upon reaching the mouth of the Yangtze River, saw a piece of clean 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.
