Legend of Hemerocallis

According to legend, before the uprising in Daze Township, Chen Sheng's family was very poor. Because he had no rice to cook at home, he had to go out to beg for a living. In addition, due to lack of nutrition, he suffered from edema and unbearable pain.

One day, Chen Sheng begged at a mother-daughter home named Huang Hemerocallis. Huang's mother-in-law was soft-hearted. Seeing Chen Sheng's pitiful appearance, she let him into the house and steamed him three bowls of Hemerocallis for him to eat. For Chen Sheng at that time, the day lily flower that could solve the hunger and cold was as sweet and delicious as delicacies. I saw him wolfing down, and soon all three bowls of day lilies went into his stomach. After a few days, the whole body edema subsided. Chen Sheng thanked Huang's mother and daughter very much and said that she would repay them in the future.

After the uprising in Daze Township, when Chen Sheng became king, he did not forget Huang's mother and daughter. To thank them for their kindness, he invited them into the palace. Wine and banquets are held every day, and the countless delicacies and delicacies can't arouse Chen Sheng's appetite. Suddenly, Chen Sheng remembered the delicious day lily flowers, and asked Huang Popo to steam another bowl for him. Huang Popo picked some day lilies and steamed them for Chen Sheng herself. Chen Sheng picked up the rice bowl, only tasted it, but it was hard to swallow it. He even said, "What's the matter? It's not as good as it used to be. This is so strange." Huang Popo said, "Actually, it's nothing to be surprised about. It's really fragrant when you are hungry, and it's bitter to eat wine and meat!" Words, shame Chen Sheng knelt on the ground and bowed down repeatedly. Huang's mother-in-law repeatedly said, "No, no" and quickly helped Chen Sheng to her feet.

From then on, Chen Sheng left the Huang family and their mother in the palace, specializing in growing day lilies and eating them often. At the same time, two other names were given to the day lily, one named "A Girl Without Sorrow" and the other named "Day Lily". Because Huang Popo's daughter's name is Lily, and the shape of day lily leaves is like a needle, people call it Lily.
