Meng Chang pays great attention to pleasure and likes flowers and beautiful women. He loved a lady named Fei most, so he named her "Mrs. Hua Rui". Mrs. Huarui loves hibiscus most. In order to win the favor of the beloved princess, Meng Changjun ordered the people to plant hibiscus trees on the wall. When the hibiscus tree bloomed, the name of Chengdu "40 Li is brocade cotton" and the name of "Furong City" was circulated among the people.
