This plant with fragrant small white flowers was asked to collect some and take them back for planting. According to the genealogy of Zhang family in Caiban Township; During the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, their ancestor Zhang Guanghui studied in Kyoto. One winter, he asked for leave and returned to his hometown. He sailed through Jishui, Jiangxi Province, and found green leaves, yellow and white flowers and fragrant wildflowers on the water near the shore, so he picked them and planted them in Caiban to make them grow into new flowers.

Legend has it that Chongming narcissus comes from Fujian. It was Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty who wanted to blossom in her royal garden at the same time. God's boss dared not disobey her orders, and Sixth Sister Narcissus of Fujian was no exception, and was forced to Chang 'an in the west. My little sister doesn't want to bloom for the queen alone. She only passed through the Yangtze River estuary and saw a piece of pure land in the middle of the river, so she slipped down on Chongming Island. Therefore, Fujian narcissus blooms five times and Chongming narcissus blooms one time.

Narcissus was paid attention to and loved by people as early as the Song Dynasty. According to the Records of Zhangzhou Prefecture, when Zheng He went to Nanyang in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhangzhou narcissus had been shipped abroad as a famous flower. "Water is strange when it is open, but it is bone when it is heavy, and muscle when it is heavy." narcissus

narcissus

It is usually planted in a delicate shallow pot, however, it is also quite simple and simple life. With proper sunshine and temperature, a few stones can take root and sprout with only a spoonful of water. In the cold winter, flowers wither, but daffodils are full of leaves, which is better than pine, bamboo and plum. Therefore, countless literati in the past dynasties wrote poems for daffodils and presented many beautiful chapters.

There are two main varieties of daffodils: one is a single petal with a bluish-white corolla and a yellow calyx, with a golden corolla in the middle, which is like a calyx and fragrant, so it is called "Yutai Jinzhan", and the flowering period is about half a month; The other is a double petal, in which more than ten petals are rolled into a cluster. The corolla is pale yellow at the lower end and pale white at the upper end, with no obvious crown. It is called "Bai Ye Narcissus" or "Yulinglong" and its flowering period is about 20 days. The distribution of daffodils is rare, only at the foot of the round mountain, one of the eight scenic spots in Zhangzhou, because there are unique conditions here: the round mountain blocks the scorching sun, and the sunshine in shady places is short, which creates favorable conditions for the cultivation of daffodils. There is a local song that says, "There are eighteen sides of the Garden Mountain, with princes on one side and narcissus heads on the other."

Every Spring Festival, the carving art of narcissus bonsai created by skilled craftsmen can be opened in a predetermined period according to people's wishes, adding a lot of luster to festivals, birthdays, weddings, welcoming guests and celebrations. Vivid, full of vitality and intriguing. No wonder people praise the green and white daffodils, asking little, just a pot of water, not caring about the shortness of life, the "trauma" of leaves, and the "humiliation" of cold, always leading a clean life and bringing green and warm life to the world.

Sitting is really annoying, and I laugh when I go out.

Years old, the falling flowers are bleak, and a wisp of breeze is absolutely pitiful.

Not all the soil invaded Su Hao, but all the winds showed beauty.

The coquettish soul falls on Hunan guests, and the jade color vaguely catches the moon fairy.

But he laughed at Fu Weng for being too fat and mistook elegance for beauty.

Modern poetry:

anonymous

I wander alone like a floating cloud.

Drift across deep valleys and mountains

Suddenly, I saw a piece.

Countless golden daffodils

Growing by the lake and under the tree.

Dance in the breeze.

Constantly like shining stars

Shining in the Milky Way.

Infinite extension

On the shore of the bay;

At first glance, I saw thousands of daffodils

Shake their little heads and dance happily.

The sea surged beside them.

But they are more pleasant than shining waves: poets must be genuinely happy.

In such a pleasant companion!

I watched it again and again-but I seldom thought of it.

What a precious treasure this scene has brought me;

In a state of emptiness or contemplation

I often lie on my back on the sofa.

They go through my heart.

That is the supreme happiness in my loneliness;

Therefore, my heart is full of joy.

Enjoy dancing with daffodils.

Narcissus prose:

Narcissus story

Xianbei county

Another winter has come.

This is the season of daffodils.

As in previous years, I happily planted this year's daffodils, which belong to me.

When she was half immersed in clear water like me, she began her annual joy.

I like daffodils. Love her chubby flower heads, love her lush branches and leaves that grow leisurely, and love her flowers that come as scheduled and don't follow the crowd.

Her hasty eroticism is always afraid of missing the season of her life. You can almost hear her ceaseless footsteps and feel the irresistible enthusiasm of her youth. When she quickly grows into a complete flower branch and blooms, the daffodils at that time are like girls in spring, young and handsome, graceful and fragrant, refreshing. ...

Narcissus seems more spiritual this year. She stood there quietly, competing to grow and open up. Walk around during the day and listen to my morning bell and dusk drum. The night is darkened with shame, Luo Zhi, and I am slowly coming out of my lost dream. . .

I stared at the six-petal elves for a long time, silently pouring out my love, my feelings, my yearning, my regretless pursuit …

Did she really see through my feelings now? When I lie prone on the table, when I stand in front of the window. When I was tired, sitting in a rocking chair, when I was numb and slipped on the pillow ... Oh, you finally opened my heart for the first time in my lonely ring at the age of 43.

Who is singing outside the window "Are you leaving as soon as spring is over? Sincere flowers are blooming, but you want to fly away with migratory birds …"? !

Don't! I call from the bottom of my heart: "Please stay, stay! Stay with my lover and bloom at every intersection you pass. ...

I love narcissus (prose) Pan Bailing.

During the Spring Festival, the fairy Ling Bo blooms in a beautiful year. She brings people joy and spring. After the New Year, she died in a hurry, and there was nothing to do. Who can keep her? I love daffodils, their elegance, their fragrance, their subtlety and their fragrance. Whenever the cold wind blows off every blade outside the window, at the end of that bleak year, the daffodils on the windowsill begin to draw out slender and slightly curved green leaves, which are as elegant and free as a girl's long skirt. She seems to be comforting people: winter has come, can spring be far behind? Gradually, at the top of the green stem in the middle of the green skirt, thin stems were pulled out, and small pale green buds grew on them, some five, some seven, and some even grew a dozen ... Buds were ready to bloom, and I hung my head half shyly, as if waiting for sunshine and hope. Slowly I don't know when, suddenly overnight, ah! Perhaps in the early morning of the first day of New Year's Day, she opened a transparent white petal, and the round pale yellow stamens in the flower core smiled at you like a smiling face. You see, such Ling Boxian Tingting is standing on the white stone of Qingshui, with long green leaves, dancing like a group of fairies, which is really a beautiful scene of dancing in the east wind of snow and ice. She danced lightly, emitting elegant fragrance. When you enjoy it, it seems that she is humming a beautiful Schumann serenade to you, telling you her joy and slight sadness. I wish she could stay with me like this all the time, but with the arrival of the end of the Spring Festival, I watched her wither and finally quietly leave ... Alas, a trace of melancholy rose in my heart, as if she had taken away the beautiful things in my heart. But how can we stop her? Her life is so short, but her heart is so beautiful. All she needs is a piece of clear water, but there are many scattered waters on the earth. In the coldest winter, it brings warmth and spring to people, leaving an unforgettable fragrance. In fact, the meaning of life is not the length of life, but whether to leave something for people. Isn't it? Thank you, fairy Lin Bo!

Narcissus (prose)

The warmest flower in the warmest season is the lotus holding the torch.

On the coolest day, the coolest flower is the daffodil that stretches the snowflake.

Only a piece of shallow ice water and a few broken white stones. All birds have withered leaves.

Choose multicolored primary colors, and all the colors in the world start with snow; I chose snow-white time and space to express my fragrance and warmth; Select Achnatherum splendens and tough and elastic strains.

Just one of a hundred flowers.

But just because it is one of the hundred flowers, it will not be similar to the other ninety-nine flowers. There are no similar rights and obligations. So calm, so warm.

Look at the lotus that blooms like a torch in the warmest season.

Chinese legend

1. It is said that Narcissus is the incarnation of E Huang and Nv Ying, the daughters of Emperor Yao. They are all married to Shun. Their elder sister is a queen and their younger sister is a princess. Their relationship is very good. Shun died in southern China and fell in love with Xiangjiang River. God is merciful to their loved ones, so they turn their souls into daffodils by the river, and they also become the flower gods of daffodils in December.

It is said that there was a kind peasant woman in Yuanshan, Caiban Village, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, who helped beggars who were hungry and cold. The beggar used to be a fairy, spraying his food around the house, and then he planted a golden lamp and a silver platform (narcissus).

3. Legend 1998, a kind young couple (Jin Zhan and Yintai) helped a fairy on the mountain. In return, the fairy told them that there was going to be a flood there, and advised them to leave as soon as possible and not to tell others. The couple couldn't bear to leave by themselves, so they informed the whole village that everyone moved to the highest mountain to avoid the flood that day. Because the couple didn't keep a secret, the fairy turned them into two daffodils, the man into a male flower named Jin Zhan, and the woman into a female flower named Yintai. (Nowadays, androgynous flowers are named like this. )

4. Legend has it that one day a long time ago, when Xian Lingbo in the sky was grinding a treasure mirror by the Milky Way, he accidentally saw through the clouds that the drought in Longhai South Township (now called Jiuhu Township) was serious, the crops failed and the people were poor. The desolate scene touched the heart of the kind fairy, and she left her precious mirror. The mirror fell to the ground and broke into nine pieces. Nanxiang suddenly became nine lakes, and the water gurgled into the countryside. At that time, Jiuhu Lake was full of flowers and fruits, and the rice was ripe and red. Even Ling Boxian was attracted by the beautiful scenery on earth, and couldn't help floating around the lake.

There is a stonemason named Chen Long by the lake, and everyone calls him Brother Long. He was sincere, hardworking and brave, and Ling Bo, the fairy, fell in love with Brother Long. In the lake pond, they tied knots with beads. Fairy Ling Bo is in charge of the water source, and the nine lakes are in good weather every year; Brother Long and the villagers worked hard, and the nine lakes and grains were abundant, making them a fairyland on earth.

I don't want to. The happiness and beauty of this world angered the demon dragon, which sprayed poison in its mouth and burned the pastoral village. In order to defend her home, the fairy Ling Bo fought with the pipa. Brother Long swallowed the treasure and became a dragon, fighting against the demon dragon. Finally, the demon dragon failed and fled to the sky, complaining to the heavenly queen.

The heavenly queen listened to the slanderers and sent heavenly soldiers to punish the fairy Ling Bo and Brother Long. In a blink of an eye, Nanxiang was dark, and the sky moved round the mountain to suppress the nine lakes. Since then, the water source has been cut off and the spring water has dried up. Brother Long was crushed under the round mountain. In the clouds, Ling Bo, the fairy who was caught back to heaven, looked at the destroyed home and lonely brother Long, held her head high and spat out a clear spring. Reluctantly, she took out her silver hairpin and threw it to the miserable south township. The silver hairpin fell beside the clear spring at the foot of the round mountain and became a graceful and fragrant daffodil. Nowadays, at the end of every year, every household in Jiuhu will put a few pots of daffodils at home to express their gratitude to Brother Long and Fairy Lingbo.

A couple named Yao gave birth to a beautiful and well-behaved daughter. When her daughter grew up, she was taken fancy to by local tyrants and wanted to steal her as a wife. The stubborn girl refused to be humiliated and jumped into the river. God had mercy on her chastity and turned her soul into Narcissus. (Yao Nvhua)

Foreign legends

Narcissus in English, narcissism in English is for narcissists. This is a Greek myth that connects the two.

1. Narcissus is a beautiful boy in Greek mythology. His father is a river god and his mother is a fairy. After Narcissus was born, his mother got an Oracle: Narcissus will be the most beautiful man in the world when he grows up; However, he will eventually be depressed because of his infatuation with his appearance. In order to escape the fulfillment of the Oracle, Narcissus' mother specially arranged for her son to grow up in the mountains, away from streams, lakes and the sea, so that Narcissus would never see his face. As his mother wished, Narcissus grew up quietly in the mountains. As predicted by the Oracle, he was handsome and became the most beautiful man in the world. All the girls who have seen him are deeply in love with him. However, Narcissus is arrogant and no woman can get his love. He only likes hunting in the mountains with friends all day, and he despises girls who are single-minded to him.

Echo, the mountain god, fell in love with Narcissus at first sight, but she couldn't express her feelings and could only simply repeat other people's voices. Narcissus ignored her infatuation. Narcissus had a heart of stone and broke her heart. She asked Aphrodite, the goddess of love, to punish him and make him suffer. Melancholy, expectation and nothing made her leave her former partner and walk into the forest aimlessly. Here, her sadness is increasing day by day, her face is haggard, she disappears from the mountains, but her gentle voice always lingers in the valley. If you walk in the silent forest, she will respond to your voice. This is the echo of the mountain god.

The cold stone heart of Narcissus broke the girl's heart. Nemesis, the goddess of retribution, couldn't stand it anymore and decided to teach him a lesson. One day, Narcissus was hunting in the wild, and it was extremely hot. Soon, he was sweating profusely. Just then, the breeze blew, filled with coolness, and he went with the wind. Strolling through it, the oncoming lake is as clear as a mirror. Narcissus is a stranger to this lake. Narcissus went and sat by the lake, trying to reach out and touch the lake to see what it looked like. Who knows that when he fixed his eyes on the mirror-smooth lake, he could not help but be amazed by a perfect face. Narcissus thought, who is this beautiful woman? It's really beautiful. Staring at it for a while, he found that when he waved to the beauty in the water, the beauty in the water waved to him; When he smiles at the beauty in the water, the beauty in the water smiles back at him; But when he reached out to touch the beauty, the beauty disappeared at once; When he withdrew his hand, a short time later, the beautiful woman appeared again and looked at him affectionately. Of course, Narcissus did not know that it was his reflection that appeared on the lake. He fell in love with his reflection. In order not to like the people who lost the lake, he guarded the lake day and night, and the days passed day by day. Narcissus stayed by the lake without sleeping or eating, and was willing to be the patron saint of beauty in his heart. Sometimes he rests by the lake, and sometimes he wanders on the shore, but his eyes are always inseparable from the reflection in boiling water. He always stares at the lake. Finally, the Oracle came true. Narcissus sat by the lake and died because he was caught by his fans.

The fairies were heartbroken and rushed to the lake to bury Narcissus' body properly. But the lake where Narcissus once sat was empty except for a bunch of strange flowers. It turned out that the god of love pitied Narcissus and turned him into a narcissus, which bloomed where there was water, so that he could always look at his reflection. Those strange little flowers are beautiful and free from vulgarity, proud and lonely. In memory of narcissus, fairies named this flower narcissus, also called narcissus. This is why daffodils always grow at the water's edge. Because of this story, people use narcissism to describe those who like their looks very much and have narcissistic tendencies.

2. Another version said that the swamp fairy took a fancy to him. When she made friends with him, he saw his reflection in the swamp fairy's eyes. He wanted to see it again, so the swamp fairy lied to her that it was her soul and lured her into her own world. Kill him in the swamp.

It is said that Narcissus has a twin sister. They had a good relationship, but his sister died young. Narcissus misses her very much. One day, he saw himself in the pond and thought it was his sister. He stayed there for a long time, refused to leave, and finally died by the pond.

Note: This legend refers to the European narcissus, which is the same species as the Chinese narcissus.
