Story:

According to legend, Chang 'e once took the Jade Rabbit to see Hou Yi. She put Yutu at the door, but Yutu didn't want to be lonely and ran into the garden. At this time, the old gardener in the garden is taking good care of the flowers and plants. His movements are gentle, and he talks to flowers from time to time as if they were his children. No wonder he manages the garden so well. The flowers seem to feel it, too, and repay the old gardener with the most beautiful posture and color.

All these were seen by Yutu. She was very moved and jumped in the direction of the old gardener. The old gardener glanced at it, held it in his arms, gently stroked the jade rabbit with calloused hands and collected the most beautiful grass for it to eat. Jade Rabbit identified herself and began to talk to the old gardener. The old gardener told him stories about the world and sang him some country songs while working. Gradually, Yutu and the old gardener established feelings. When she left, Jade Rabbit gave a seed in her ear to the old gardener.

Later, after careful planting by the old gardener, the seeds germinated, grew up gradually, and produced beautiful flowers, looking up at the jade wheel as if expecting the jade rabbit to come again. The old gardener named this flower "Rabbit Flower". Then people call it cyclamen, as if waiting for the arrival of cyclamen.
