Legend in Brother Liu: At the end of Sui Dynasty, in the east of Miaoxia Town, Ruzhou, Henan Province, there was a place where the Liu family lived-Liujiaguan. Here is a beautiful and naive girl, the younger brother of a scholarly family, who likes playing chess, painting and calligraphy since childhood and is very popular with relatives and neighbors. With the death of her parents, the girl came to settle in Chang 'an with her brother-in-law who was an official in Chang 'an. After the demise of the Sui Dynasty, my brother and sister-in-law died one after another, leaving her alone, with nowhere to go, who saw through the world of mortals and became a nun. When she became a monk, the girl brought Bai Mudan, a native of her family, to buddhist nun to show her dedication to Buddhism and lead a totally clean life. Under her careful management, Bai Mudan is very lush and beautiful. A plant is full of thousands of flowers, and the flowers are full of satisfaction. It rises from the building, with a slight blush in the white, crystal clear and moist, like a beauty's skin and a child's jade face.
Viewers all admire its beauty, so every April, many believers come to this temple to worship the Buddha and watch the flowers, taking pleasure in offering flowers to the Buddha, and the incense is getting stronger and stronger. Therefore, the flowers came from the hands of "Liu's mansion", hence the name "Liu's pavilion" and "Liu Shige". Later, this peony variety spread to Tian Peng, Sichuan, Heze, Shandong and other places, and its fragrance spread far and wide.
The legend of Wu Zetian and Peony: Wu Zetian became an emperor and went to Shangyuan for a drink one winter.
After drinking, Xue wrote a five-character poem on white silk: swim to the Ming Garden and report the spring knowledge quickly. Flowers must be placed overnight, don't wait for the breeze to blow. After writing, she asked the maid-in-waiting to take it to the garden and burn it to inform the flower god. After the imperial edict was burned, it frightened the Baihua Fairy. The next day, all the flowers opened except the peony. Wu Zetian saw that the peony had not opened, and in a great anger, a fire burned the peony to ashes. The peony uprooted elsewhere, exiled to Chang' an, still went to Mangshan and Luoyang. Mangshan Mountain in Luoyang is criss-crossed, remote and desolate. Wu Zetian threw peony into Mangshan Mountain in Luoyang in order to make it extinct. Who knows that Mangshan peony in Luoyang is growing well, and people have come here to watch peony.
Legend in thousands of books: In the Ming Dynasty, there was a scholar in Bozhou, Anhui Province, also known as Ouyang Boyun, who had a well-meaning saying. Ben was born.
The official's family, due to the decline of family fortune, gradually declined and was very poor. However, the scholar is unwilling to be arranged by fate, and even more unwilling to rely on others. He was determined to get a "fame" and shine for his ancestors, but he failed year after year. A kind-hearted gentleman told him: "The younger generation has a poor foundation and needs to study thousands of books to feel the God of heaven and earth. So he copied books and studied papers all day. But the family is poor and the paper is too expensive, so we have to copy articles on the walls and door panels. One day he got bored in his room and went to play in the backyard. I was surprised to see that the peony flower cluster in the backyard, which had not blossomed for many years, was full of flowers, so I suddenly came into the room on a whim, picked up the autumn pen and inkstone, copied articles on peony petals and changed the paper into flowers. The kind-hearted gentleman passed by and saw this scene, calling this peony "thousands of books". This may have touched the "Flower God". The following year, Ouyang Boyun really won the "Juren".
Legend of "Evil Huang Liu": In ancient times, there was an epigenetic named Liu Mingdan Pavilion near Luoyang. He has been fascinated by flowers since he was a child, and he is addicted to growing flowers. Among all the flowers, peony is particularly good. Many flowers and peonies were planted before and after the army. But because he grows flowers well, he is often attacked by sea urchins. He was very angry. Every time he was caught, he was fined a day's work, and everyone else played several times. So the local urchin nicknamed him "Bad Liu". With the passage of time, this gradually spread and replaced his name as a "big name". Speaking of "bad Liu", his flower arranging skill is really extraordinary. He planted more than 100 peony plants with rich varieties. One year, he planted a Jin Mudan, the color of which surpassed that of "Yao Huang". Neighbors were amazed, and the rich wanted gold and silver. At that time, yellow peony was very rare, and it became fashionable to breed in large numbers and compete for harsh varieties from far and near. Later, people named this flower "Evil Huang Liu", and this name was included in the book and handed down.
