Narcissus "Looking at the Sun" said: Yao Lao lived in Changli Bridge, and it was freezing in mid-November. She dreamed that the stars fell to the ground and turned into a cluster of daffodils, which were very fragrant and beautiful. She ate and woke up to give birth to a daughter. "History of Flowers" said: Xie Gong saw a fairy holding a bunch of daffodils in his sleep. On this day, his wife gave birth to a daughter, who was smart and poetic. Later, people called daffodils "Yao Nvhua" or "Xie Nvhua". His two wives and Shun went to Xiangshui and heard that Shun died on Cangwu Mountain. The two wives were miserable, and tears spilled on the bamboo, which became a teardrop. Chu people called this kind of bamboo torreya grandis. E Huang and Nv Ying devoted themselves to Xiangjiang River. Their souls became daffodils by the river.

There is such a story in the plum blossom epic. A poem written by Mei in the Northern Song Dynasty said, "If peaches have no green leaves, you can tell that apricots have green branches." In other words, if you distinguish plum blossom from peach blossom, you will find that plum blossom lacks the green leaves of peach blossom. If we distinguish it from apricot flowers, we will find that plum branches lack the bright blue color of apricot branches, and the poem reveals the meaning of belittling plum. When Su Shi, a great writer, heard about it, he also wrote a new poem, two of which mocked Mei, saying, "Poets always don't know that Meg is here, but they pay more attention to green leaves and green branches." Su Shi obviously thinks that plum blossom has no green leaves and branches, which just reflects its noble character! During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Jiang Caiping was favored by Ming Chengzu. She likes plum blossoms by nature. Every time she lives in a fence, she will plant several plum trees. A plaque says "Mei Ting". When the flowers bloom, the harvest is fun. In the middle of the night, they still lingered under the flowers and refused to leave. They once wrote an article entitled "Plum Blossom Fu". Because of her hobby, the emperor nicknamed her "Mei Fei".

Peony During the reign of Kaiyuan Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, there were peony flowers in front of Chenxiang Temple in the palace, which suddenly opened one day, one with two ends. These flowers are dark red in the morning, dark green at noon, dark yellow at dusk, and pink at night. The fragrance is different between day and night. Xuanzong saw it and said it was a flower and tree demon. Don't be surprised. During the Changqing period, there were peony flowers in Chiba in front of Mu Zong Palace, which were big and red. Every night, thousands of yellow and white octopus dishes are dancing and shining among the flowers, and they don't fly away until dawn. Mu Zong ordered people to cast nets in the air and catch hundreds of them in temples, so that the court concubines could pursue entertainment. When I saw it in the morning, it all turned into golden jade, which was very clever. So the imperial secretary scrambled to tie the feet of the golden jade plate with red silk thread, and put it in the makeup when it was not used as jewelry. In the evening, the dowry was radiant, and the imperial secretary opened the dowry chest and found something crawling in the jade ornaments. A closer look reveals that those golden tracts are alive again.

During the Lotus Three Kingdoms period, Wei Mingdi planned to forbid the Buddha to destroy the temple. An Indian monk put water on a golden plate in front of the palace and threw a relic. Suddenly, a colorful lotus rose in the water. Ming Di was surprised and sighed: "If it wasn't this miracle, how could this miracle happen?" So I can't help being a Buddha. Su Chang, a scholar in Yuanhe Middle School, lives in Suzhou, near Xiaozhuang, about ten miles away from the official road. There is a pond with many lotus flowers in it. One day, while he was watching the lotus flowers by the pool, he saw a red-faced plain clothes girl coming towards him. They fell in love at first sight and have been seeing each other frequently since then. Su Chang gave the girl a jade ring as a symbol of love. Su Chang once went to the pond to look at the lotus beside the railing and saw a Bai Lianhua in full bloom, which was very touching. He looked at it carefully, only to find that Lotus had something in her heart. It was the jade ring he gave. He picked the white lotus and the girl disappeared from there.

The legendary peach blossom god is Mrs. Xi. Madame is the wife of the Spring and Autumn Period. Her surname is Gui. King Wen of Chu gave up interest and went back to the Hou couple, forcing Mrs. Interest to be his wife. Mrs. Xi has a special liking for this and is not moved by the power of King Chu Wen. One day, while King Wen was hunting, she slipped out of the palace and met the queen. Knowing that it is difficult to break a mirror, both of them committed suicide. It was March, and the peach blossoms were in full bloom. The Chu people took Mrs. Tao as their wife and set up a shrine to worship. Later generations upgraded her to the goddess of peach blossom.

Apricot Flowers "Yangzhou Fuzhi" said that during the Kaiyuan period, there were dozens of apricot trees in Yangzhou Taiping Garden. Whenever it is in full bloom, the prefect will hold a big banquet, invite dozens of prostitutes to stand next to each apricot tree and set up a museum called "Fighting for Spring". After the banquet, someone heard apricot flowers sigh. In the Tang Dynasty, Nan Zhuo's Record of Jiegu told a story of "Jiegu Urging Flowers", saying that Tang Xuan loved Jiegu. Once he went to another temple and saw Liu Xing in bud, he sighed, "This scene must be judged." Gao Lishi was ordered to take the Jie drum, knock it on the porch and compose a song "Good Spring". When the porch was playing, looking back, Liu Xing was in full bloom in the temple, which seemed to be worth it. When Xuanzong saw this, he smiled and said to the imperial secretary, "Shouldn't this miracle be called God?"

Lily There is Guanghua Temple in Culai Mountain, Yanzhou, Shandong Province. A Confucian scholar lives in a temple. In summer, when he was looking at murals in the temple gallery, he met a white woman of fifteen or sixteen. This woman is as beautiful as a fairy. He fell in love with her at first sight, so he introduced her into a close room. He gave the woman a white jade ring when she left. He hid behind the pillar at the temple gate and watched the woman leave. I saw this woman walk out of the temple and suddenly disappeared. He remembered the place where the woman disappeared and found a lily seedling, white and beautiful. So he returned to the temple. I saw this lily twisted and knotted. I opened it and found his white jade ring hidden inside.

Tao Yuanming, a chrysanthemum family in A Jin, is famous for his love of chrysanthemums. After he abandoned his post and retired, he planted chrysanthemums by himself, picked them by the fence next to his home, and carved out a surplus. On one occasion, because there was no wine to drink on the Double Ninth Festival on September 9, he sat in the chrysanthemum bushes beside the house and picked chrysanthemums to enjoy the festival. He initiated the style of appreciating chrysanthemums and left many works of chanting chrysanthemums. "Autumn chrysanthemum has bright colors, which makes it more beautiful" and "under the hedge, you can see Nanshan leisurely", which has been passed down through the ages. Xin Qiji, a poet in the Song Dynasty, once praised: "There are Huang Ju every year, and fences are built for thousands of years." Later, "hedging" became synonymous with Tao Yuanming and Qiu Ju, and Tao Yuanming became the representative who loved chrysanthemum.
