Legend One
It is said that the narcissus is the incarnation of Yao Emperor's daughters, Ehuang and Nuying. 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 died during his southern inspection tour, Ehuang and Nuying 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 flowers by the river, making them the flower gods of narcissus in December.
Legend Two
It is said that the Chongming narcissus comes from Fujian. That was when Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty wanted all flowers to bloom simultaneously in her imperial garden. The celestial flower god dared not defy her order, and the six sisters of the narcissus flowers in Fujian were no exception, forced to head west to Chang'an.
The youngest sister did not want to bloom for the empress alone and, after passing through the Yangtze River estuary, saw a piece of clean land in the middle of the river, so she secretly slipped down to Chongming Island. Therefore, the Fujian narcissus has five flowers per plant, while the Chongming narcissus has one blooming flower.
