The Legend of Rhododendron
Rhododendron is known as beauty in flowers. Whenever it blooms, it is very brilliant, arousing people's yearning for a better life. It symbolizes the prosperity of the country and people's happy life, so azaleas are very popular with people.
according to legend, azaleas are formed by the transformation of Shu. At that time, Shu was a peaceful and rich country. There are rich products, people are well-fed and live a very happy life. However, this carefree life has led to people's laziness. They gradually only care about pleasure, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling all day long, indulging in debauchery, but they don't even know it's time to sow.
At that time, the emperor of Shu was called Du Yu. He was diligent and loved the people. He was very responsible and loved his people very much. When he saw this situation, he felt very worried. In order not to delay farming, he will run around every spring sowing and urge people to sow. But gradually, people formed a habit, that is, if Du Yu didn't come, they wouldn't sow.
But later, Du Yu died of overwork, but after his death, he still remembered his own people. Its soul turns into a bird, which flies around every spring and cries, and blood flows out of its mouth. Blood spilled all over the mountains and turned into beautiful flowers.
People appreciate the diligent king, so they learn from Du Yu and become diligent and responsible. They call the bird cuckoo, and the bright red flower is called azalea.
