Feng Yingjing, an Amin, wrote in the preface to the month and the year: "The woman who turned into a flower god is a disciple of Mrs. Wei. Ancient paintings are also flower gods. " There are two flower gods believed by Han people, which have a little history. Nu Wa is the mythical goddess who dominates the growth of everything in spring and summer. "Huainanzi Astronomical Training" says: "Nuwa's drumming song takes the sky as the source and the plants and animals in Changbai Valley as the source." Gaoyou's Note: "The female alien is the god who has been cultivated for a long time in spring and summer." In the spread of later generations, Nu Wa somehow became a disciple of Mrs. Wei, a Taoist fairy, and became a goddess specializing in flowers. After all, it is closely related to her priesthood status of "spring and summer cultivation", but her authority has been reduced a lot, only for the post of flower god.

"Ancient paintings have made great achievements in planting flowers, and they are regarded as flower gods by flower farmers.

She was over eighty years old, but she still looked like a virgin. She has repaired the abandoned scenic spots such as Lady Wei's quiet room in Fuzhou and fishing in Linchuan. When Mrs. Wei heard this, she had a dream and taught her in detail. Aunt Hua was taught by Professor Wei, and she became an immortal. The Taiping universe is also recorded in detail. Female barbarians, flower aunts and one god are all related to flowers and are regarded as flower gods. As for saying that they are Mrs. Wei's disciples, it is said that they are attached by future generations.
