Narcissus is distributed in the southeast coastal areas of China, with Chongming County in Shanghai and Zhangzhou in Fujian being the most famous. Hundreds of years ago, daffodils were also produced in Suzhou and Jiading. In addition to the common white narcissus, there is also a yellow variety called small narcissus. Narcissus has a long history of cultivation in Europe. Since 1930s, the Netherlands, Belgium, Britain and other countries have done a lot of work in daffodil breeding and variety improvement. At present, there are 26,000 cultivated varieties, and new varieties are born every year. The cultivation of daffodils in China began at the end of 19.

The legend of daffodils:
Legend of China:
Legend has it that daffodils are the incarnations of Yao Emperor's daughters E Huang and Nv Ying. They are all married to Shun. Their elder sister is a queen and their younger sister is a princess. Their relationship is very good. Shun southern tour accident, and both buried in Xiangjiang River. God took pity on their loved ones, so he turned their souls into daffodils by the river, and they became the flower gods of daffodils in December. Based on this, predecessors wrote many poems praising narcissus, such as Cao Zhi's Ode to Luoshen, and the poems before and after Narcissus in Song Dynasty. If they condense the beauty of daffodils to one point, it is "pure".
Legend has it that there was a kind peasant woman in Yuanshan, Caiban Village, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, who helped beggars who were hungry and cold. The beggar used to be a fairy, spraying his food around the house, and then he planted a daffodil with a golden lamp and a silver platform. Giving daffodils among the people is to praise your kindness and good luck, and to congratulate you on your good luck and all the best.
Western legends:
Narcissus is the English for narcissus, and narcissism is the English for narcissists. This is a Greek myth that connects the two.
Narcissus is a beautiful boy in Greek mythology. His father is a river god and his mother is a fairy. After Nassau was born, his mother got the Oracle: Nassau will be the most beautiful man in the world when he grows up; However, he will eventually be depressed because of his infatuation with his appearance. In order to escape the fulfillment of the Oracle, Nassau's mother specially arranged for her son to grow up in the mountains, away from streams, lakes and the sea, so that Nassau would never see his face. As his mother wished, Nasos grew up safely in the mountains. As predicted by the Oracle, he was handsome and became the most beautiful man in the world. All the girls who have seen him are deeply in love with him. However, Nassau is so arrogant that no woman can get his love. He only likes hunting in the mountains with friends all day, and he despises girls who are single-minded to him.
Echo, the mountain god, fell in love with Nassau at first sight, but she couldn't express her feelings and could only simply repeat other people's voices. Nasos ignored her infatuation. Nassau's heart of stone broke her heart. She asked Venus to punish him and make him suffer. Melancholy, expectation and nothing made her leave her former partner and walk into the forest aimlessly. Here, her sadness increased.
Thin and haggard face, she disappeared from the mountains, but her soft voice always lingered in the valley. If you walk in the silent forest, she will respond to your voice. This is the echo of the mountain god.
Nassau's cold stone heart broke the girl's heart. Nemesis, the goddess of retribution, couldn't stand it anymore and decided to teach him a lesson. One day, Nasos was hunting in the wild, and the weather was extremely hot. Soon, he was sweating profusely. Just then, the breeze blew, filled with coolness, and he went with the wind. Strolling through it, the oncoming lake is as clear as a mirror. For Nassau, this lake is very strange. Nasos walked over and sat by the lake, trying to reach out and touch the lake to see what it was like. But when he stared at the mirror-smooth lake, he saw a perfect face, which surprised him. Nasos thought, who is this beauty? It's really beautiful. Staring at it for a while, he found that when he waved to the beauty in the water, the beauty in the water waved to him; When he smiles at the beauty in the water, the beauty in the water smiles back at him; But when he reached out to touch the beauty, the beauty disappeared at once; When he withdrew his hand, a short time later, the beautiful woman appeared again and looked at him affectionately. Of course, Nasos didn't know that it was actually his reflection that emerged on the lake. He fell in love with his reflection. In order not to like the people who lost the lake, he guarded the lake day and night, and the days passed day by day. Nasos stayed by the lake, didn't sleep or eat, and was willing to be the patron saint of beauty in his heart. He sometimes rests by the lake and sometimes wanders on the shore, but his eyes can't leave the reflection in the water and he always stares at the lake. Finally, the Oracle came true. Nasos died sitting by the lake because he was obsessed with his own reflection.
The fairies were heartbroken and rushed to the lake to try to bury Nassau's body properly. But the lake where Nasos once sat was empty except for a bunch of strange flowers. It turned out that the god of love pitied Nassau and turned him into a daffodil, which bloomed where there was water, so that he could always look at his reflection. Those strange little flowers are beautiful and free from vulgarity, proud and lonely. In memory of narcissus, fairies named this flower narcissus, that is, daffodil. This is why daffodils always grow at the water's edge. Because of this story, people use narcissism to describe those who like their looks very much and have narcissistic tendencies.
Another version said that the swamp fairy had a crush on him. When she made friends with him, he saw his reflection in the swamp fairy's eyes. He wanted to see it again, so the swamp fairy lied to her that it was her soul and lured her into her own world. Kill him in the swamp.
Narcissus prose:
The warmest flower in the warmest season is the lotus holding the torch.
On the coolest day, the coolest flower is the daffodil that stretches the snowflake.
Only a piece of shallow ice water and a few broken white stones. All birds have withered leaves.
Choose multicolored primary colors, and all the colors in the world start with snow; I chose snow-white time and space to express my fragrance and warmth; Select Achnatherum splendens and tough and elastic strains.
Just one of a hundred flowers.
But just because it is one of the hundred flowers, it will not be similar to the other ninety-nine flowers. There are no similar rights and obligations. So calm, so warm.
Look at the lotus that blooms like a torch in the warmest season.
I was seriously carving a pot of daffodils this morning. I bought her before the flower seller carved it. She has slightly exposed a little bud, slightly green, but the uncut skin is slightly boring, so it does not affect my appreciation of her beauty after flowering. Her fragrance overflowed the bedroom and filled the whole hall, giving me enough imagination.
There is a big bud in the middle and five small buds around the elder sister. They are connected by bones and tendons. I can't bear to part, so I have to correct it slowly.
The dried skin, together with the tree with slightly white inner substance and slightly green buds, added a little mud at the root and a net to trap their sisters and prevent them from being separated from each other. In this way, they were transported from the far south to the northern cities thousands of miles away.
It took me an hour and a half to fix her, and I washed my hands three times in the middle. I couldn't bear to touch her limbs with muddy hands. She is so delicate, an unbearable beauty, which really makes me like it.
I don't have any professional tools to carve her, so I can only borrow a straight knife.
Gently remove the net wrapped around her, and slowly remove it from her side, not fast, for fear of breaking her newly exposed bud. Starting from her roots, gently knock off the useless and dried mud on the concrete floor with a little force, gently remove the stuck mud by hand, put it under the faucet, and wash away the mud left in the tiny cracks.
Shake off the water and slowly peel off the withered skin by hand. Due to long-term water loss, the buds are slightly shy, and the outer layer wrapped by the buds is dry and yellow, as thin as cicada wings and not easy to peel off. It's beautiful without losing the shyness of the little fairy. I'm always sad that I can't bear to peel your coat.
The seller always peels her off, leaving only a layer of tender skin. I can't bear to catch cold in the cold season, just to look beautiful, give her a little beauty surgery.
The tools were clumsy in her limbs and she dared not use any strength. Only half a centimeter of flesh and blood are connected together, and the strength is slightly stronger. I'm worried that the short separation of their sisters will indirectly affect her overall beauty. I always peel off the dry scar on her body carefully, and I dare not blink. I am afraid that I will cut her skin with a knife because of my carelessness. Her skin is greasy, and the bone feeling and texture surge in my eyes instantly. Only when I am immersed in my heart can I sincerely sigh that the creator has given her strong vitality.
The process of peeling daffodils is an infighting process. I thought that even if I could wash my hands, I could wash the soil off with water. Is it really because the surface of narcissus is neat and clean? How many mistakes did my hand make? I can still remember clearly that I can stop having the short-sighted vision of the Pharisees and repeat the same mistakes.
I imagine that narcissus flowers are white, bright and charming, comparable to fairies; Like duckweed floating in the water, you have no extra time to appreciate and think about how impetuous and noisy her endoplasm is, or cry or sing; For example, the white clouds in the sky are scattered in the vast sky with the wind, giving you only a blink of an eye. Just before you have time to hide her beauty, her charm and her Vientiane in your heart, there is no trace.
Howl! The fairy who separated your limbs! Speak your mind out loud, just to hear your praise and thank you for your light!
Cold light did not continue to suppress the growth of the little fairy, but bravely stood up under the scalpel to face the ragged enemy. Relax! Hurry up! Let go of your footsteps quickly and grow at an amazing speed. After 20 days, accumulate the fragrance of the bud and draw out the palm, the bud will bloom more brightly and the flowering period will be longer.
