Speaking of chrysanthemums, many people think that soaking chrysanthemums in water can clear the liver and improve eyesight, and drinking more chrysanthemum tea is very beneficial to the eyes, but there is another magical legend about chrysanthemums.

The legend of chrysanthemum

In ancient times, there lived a young man named A Niu by the Grand Canal. A Niu lost his father at the age of seven, and she usually lives on her mother's spinning.

A Niu's mother's life is very difficult. Her child is young and has no husband, so she often cries secretly, and gradually tears come out.

When A Niu was thirteen, she said to her mother, "Your eyes are not good. Don't always work day and night in the future. I have grown up and can support you. " . So the next day, I went to the rich man's house to do long-term work to make a living. However, A Niu's mother's eye disease became more and more serious, and soon she was blind. A Niu is determined to cure his mother's eyes, so he works harder to make money. While working as a long-term worker for the rich man, he grows vegetables and sells them from morning till night to make money to treat his mother's eye diseases. But even though A Niu sought medical advice for her mother everywhere, her eyes still didn't get better, which made A Niu very worried and didn't know what to do.

Just as A Niu was at a loss, A Niu suddenly had a dream that night. In the dream, a very beautiful girl told him, "There is a flower swing with a white chrysanthemum in it, which can cure your mother's eye diseases.". Give this flower soup to your mother, and it will definitely cure her eye disease. However, this flower will not bloom until the Double Ninth Festival on September 9. A Niu woke up from a dream and recalled the scene in the dream just now. I don't know if this is true or not, but for the sake of her mother's eyes, A Niu decided to give it a try.

It soon became the Double Ninth Festival. On this day, A Niu took the dry food that had already been prepared and came to the flower swing alone, and found the white chrysanthemum that the dream girl pointed out. When he came to East China, A Niu found a white wild chrysanthemum in the grass beside a small mound in East China. This kind of white chrysanthemum has nine branches, only one flower is in bloom, and the other eight flowers are in bud. A Niu is very excited. Her mother's eyes will soon get better because of this white chrysanthemum. So, I carefully dug up the white chrysanthemum, took it home and planted it next to my house. Soon all the other eight unopened chrysanthemums opened one after another. A Niu picks a chrysanthemum every day and fries it for her mother. In this way, for seven days, until the seventh day, A Niu's mother gave her A Niu chrysanthemum soup, and her eyes began to see again. Therefore, A Niu and her mother are very excited. They are very grateful to the girl who helped in the dream. Soon, the news that A Niu's mother saw the light again spread all over the block. When everyone knows that this common wild chrysanthemum cured A Niu's mother's blindness, they all think this flower is very magical.

The news also reached the ears of the rich man Zhang Man, who immediately sent someone to A Niu's house to forcibly take away this magical white chrysanthemum. A Niu didn't want to, so both sides fought for it. In the course of the competition, the white chrysanthemum was accidentally broken. A Niu was very sad to see this scene. He cried beside the broken white chrysanthemum. When Zhang's rich man saw this, he left in grief. Only A Niu refused to leave until late at night.

At this moment, the girl who appeared in A Niu's dream appeared in front of A Niu, urging him to say, "A Niu, your filial piety has been rewarded. Don't be sad, go back to rest. " A Niu said sadly, "This chrysanthemum once cured my mother's eyes, but now it is broken because of me. How can I not be sad? " Seeing this, the girl smiled and said, "Although this chrysanthemum is broken, it is not dead yet. All you have to do is dig out its roots and transplant it to another place, and it will revive and grow white chrysanthemums. " A Niu smiled through tears and said happily to the girl, "Last time, thanks to your help, my mother's eyes were cured. This time, thanks to you, I can protect this white chrysanthemum. I want to thank you very much. " . Hearing this, the girl said to A Niu, "I am the chrysanthemum fairy in the sky, and I am here to help you because you are filial to your mother. I don't need your reward. As long as you follow this "Autumn Chrysanthemum Ballad", the white chrysanthemum will certainly live. " Then the girl disappeared.

A Niu was not sad to see this scene, so he took the time to transplant the white chrysanthemum to another place and plant it according to the instructions of the Chrysanthemum Fairy. Sure enough, before long, many new branches grew on the old roots of chrysanthemum, so A Niu cut off some branches and transported them to other places for careful cultivation. In the second year of the Double Ninth Festival, clusters of bright white chrysanthemums came out. A Niu used them to cure many people's eye diseases, and he also taught everyone the technology of growing chrysanthemums.

Well, that's the end of the story Until today, chrysanthemum still plays the role of bringing bright eyes to people.
