Hibiscus is a very beautiful plant, which is suitable for roads, parks, courtyards and other places. It can be planted alone, in rows or in pieces. At the same time, it can also be used and eaten as Chinese medicine. Hibiscus flowers have been described in poems of past dynasties. There is an interesting story about its origin.

According to legend, the stories of Shunhua, Shunying and Shunji have been circulating in Puyang for a long time, and the more they spread, the more magical they become. In fact, they used to be common hibiscus trees. So, how did trees become immortals and have such elegant taboos? This should start from ancient times.

In ancient times, there was a mountain in the east of Qiu Dong, the ancient emperor, called Mount Li. At the foot of Mount Li, there are three hibiscus trees, which are two feet high and can crown thousands of acres. Every time I go to Zhixia, trees are full of flowers in autumn.

One year in the Spring and Autumn Period, Chaos, Qiong Qi, Mushou and Gluttony, known as the Four Fierces, also came to Lishan for sightseeing. Seeing this beautiful scenery, they suddenly had a bad intention and wanted to get rid of it for themselves. As a result, the "Four Fierces" launched a battle for hibiscus in Lishan. The "Four Fierces" and their men fought their heads off and finally knocked down Sandun Hibiscus. Strange to say, the hibiscus tree withered so quickly that even its leaves fell off. Seeing this scene, the "Four Fierces" expected that it would be difficult to survive, so they left Lishan one by one dejectedly.

Yu Shun, who is leading farmers in Lishan, heard the news. He asked the farmers to pick three hibiscus, draw water and water. Miracle appeared: the branches and leaves of three hibiscus trees were alive and the flowers were as fresh as ever. Yu Shun smiled and the farmers were happy.

The Lotus Fairy took Yu Shun's taboo as her surname to show her gratitude for Yu Shun's life. Yu Shun is well aware of this. It turned out that on the night of Furong's resurrection, Yu Shun saw the appearance of three fairies in his dream and told the above matters. ...

Yu Shun saw three fairies floating by in the dim light, looking at them as peach blossoms and three hibiscus flowers. Yu Shun was fascinated. Brother Wan Fu, the Master of the Three Immortals, called him a "benefactor". Yu Shun was at a loss and asked blankly, "Where did the son come from? Is Hu a benefactor?" The third fairy smiled and said, "I am not a human being, but a hibiscus fairy." Thanks to the kindness of the public, you can get away with it. "Yu Shun panicked and sighed," I didn't know the fairy was coming, and my gift was lost. I hope you can forgive me. "The three immortals heard the sound, but they couldn't help laughing. I saw a fairy say, "My sister is just one of a hundred flowers, and my benefactor is a favored one.". How dare you give me such a big gift? What's more, my sister has already said that tomorrow the emperor will take Yong's surname to repay his kindness. " Yu Shun was about to ask, my beautiful image died young, and I saw the moonlight in front of my bed.

Yu Shun moved to Xia Hou, a new city, where hibiscus flourishes. After practicing the throne of the emperor, Gu Shipu was transplanted, and hibiscus flowers were like flowers. Hibiscus became the national flower.
