Looking carefully in the sun, the roots as thin as silver thread are spinning in the water, spotless and tender as the hairs on a child's face. Green leaves, tall and slender, with natural and smooth veins, shine with youthful light.
Narcissus has many aliases found on the Internet. Because it looks like garlic onion, the ancients also called it Ya garlic onion. This elegant word gives narcissus an elegant expression, which is separate and clear. There are also names such as Ling Boxian, Jinyintai, Yulinglong, Yao Nvhua and Waitress Hua. In addition to depicting its graceful image, there are some beautiful legends.
Yao Nvhua comes from such a story. A couple named Yao gave birth to a beautiful and well-behaved daughter. When her daughter grew up, she was taken fancy to by local tyrants and wanted to steal her as a wife. The stubborn girl refused to be humiliated and jumped into the river. God had mercy on her chastity and turned her soul into Narcissus.
Compared with Greek mythology, China mythology is more heroic. If Nasos sacrificed her life in pursuit of perfect love, then China's Yao daughter fought unyielding against the darkness in order to safeguard human dignity. I'm not afraid of being smashed to pieces. I want to leave my innocence in the world. This exquisite flower has the characteristics of China culture.
