First, according to Buddhism, canna is made of the blood of Buddha's toes. This is a big flower. Canna blooms in bright sunshine and hot weather, which makes people feel its strong will to survive. According to legend, devadatta was very angry when he saw the Buddha's growing power, good deeds and reputation, so he secretly planned to harm the Buddha.
One day, devadatta discovered the Buddha's travel itinerary, ambushed the mountain he was going to pass, and threw a rolling stone to frame the Buddha. However, people are not as good as heaven. Before the big stone fell to the Buddha, it was smashed into thousands of small stones. One of them hurt the toe of the Buddha, and the blood flowed out was sucked in by the earth, and a beautiful and brilliant red canna grew. At the same time, the earth also cracked and swallowed up the despicable demon Dipodata.
Second, during the struggle between Chu and Han, in order to encourage Xiang Yu to break through, Yu Ji resolutely drew his sword and committed suicide, and performed a touching story in history-Farewell My Concubine. Later, Xiang Yu was chased by Han soldiers to Wujiang River. When the overlord of Chu saw that the tide was gone, he drew his sword and committed suicide. The golden whip he carried with him stuck in the ground and grew into a green plant with strong vitality, called overlord whip, just like the majesty and bravery of Chu overlord. After Yu Ji's death, her fragrance lingered and she came to Wujiang River. When she saw her husband's overlord whip, she immediately turned into a canna, always accompanying her overlord whip and her beloved husband day and night.
