There are many legends about jasmine, among which the most famous one is: In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, there was a villager named Zhao living in the area of Huqiu in Suzhou, with three sons.
Zhao distributed the family land into three parts for his three sons to cultivate. When Zhao went out to seek work, he brought back a bundle of flowering tree seedlings and planted them at the edge of the eldest son's land. That year, the tea grown by the eldest son sold well in Suzhou, making a lot of money, and the second and third sons wanted a share of the eldest son's money.
The three brothers quarreled. Later, an esteemed elder in the village told them: "You must unite, brothers working together are golden," so all three sons' fields were planted with these fragrant flowering tree seedlings, and they all became wealthy.
Since then, jasmine has become a famous flower tea in the Suzhou area, with friends and family exchanging jasmine, representing unity and harmonious coexistence.
