Qionghua legend

Legend 1: Yang Di ordered the Grand Canal to be dug in order to appreciate the Qionghua in Yangzhou. When Ouyang Xiu was a magistrate, he praised Qionghua as the flower of chinese odyssey, and wrote "Wushuang Pavilion" in Qionghua Temple. Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty once moved Qionghua to Bianjing Imperial Garden, but it withered the next year and had to be returned to Yangzhou. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Xiaozong moved it to Lin 'an again, but suddenly it was gaunt and flowerless, so he had to move it to Yangzhou again. When Yuan soldiers attacked Yangzhou, Qionghua was completely destroyed. Yangzhou people have a soft spot for Qionghua. Although the original things are gone, Yangzhou people regard a kind of flower called Chrysanthemum Eight Immortals as Qionghua and carefully cultivate it into a city flower. Nowadays, clusters of flowers as white as jade on the lakeshore are the gathering of the Eight Immortals, the Qionghua of Yangzhou, which is a "universal family".

Legend 2: The water in the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou is very clear, but a toad ate a bearded child and polluted the lake.

With the help of birds, Wuquan found Qionghua Fairy near the Milky Way and was able to see the light again. Fairy Qionghua couldn't bear the suffering of Yangzhou, so she came down to earth to wash the filth with Yinhe water. Hemp beard couldn't beat Qionghua Fairy, so he invited King Cicada and his wand to turn Yangzhou into a lifeless dead city. At the critical moment, the fairy Qionghua turned into a flower rain all over the sky and died with all the demons. From then on, the beautiful and holy Qionghua bloomed in Yangzhou City.
