Legend of heron grass

According to legend, during the period of war and chaos in Japanese history, each region was divided into its own government, and Ryokan Ji Liang was the city leader of Shitian Valley at that time, who naturally ruled the area of Tokyo. As a ruler, Jiliang Lai Kang naturally has many wives and concubines, but his favorite is changpanji. Changpanji is a peerless beauty with the beauty of falling geese and shy flowers, so she often monopolizes the favor of Jiliang Lai Kang. However, women's jealousy is a terrible thing. The neglected wives and concubines naturally hate changpan Ji.

Later, changpanji was pregnant, and the out of favor concubines spread rumors about changpanji's infidelity with men. At first, Jiliang Lai Kang didn't think so, but after a long time, the rumors gradually grew in Jiliang Lai Kang's heart. Finally, Jiliang began to ignore Chang pan Ji and even put her in the cold palace.

Changpanji's experience from the sky to the ground gradually made her unhappy, and finally chose to die to prove innocence. Before she committed suicide, she wrote a suicide note to state her innocence and tied the letter to the egret's feet, hoping that the egret could bring the letter to her father's side and tell her innocence.

As a result, the egret met Jiliang Lai Kang, who was hunting. He shot the egret down with one arrow. When I saw the letter on egret's foot, I opened it to see it was written by changpanji, who was beaten into a cold palace by herself. Jiliang rushed back to rescue, but only saw changpanji and a baby. Jiliang realized that what she lost was her favorite concubine and her own son. She was very sad

The next year, the place where the egret died opened a small white flower that people had never seen before. Because the blooming shape is very similar to the flying egret, it was named "Heron grass" by people, in memory of the egret that changpanji proved to be innocent and died

Later, this kind of flower spread to our country, some people call it egret flower.
