2. Legend

There is a beautiful legend about the Poinciana flower. According to legend, there was a small island in Xiamen that was deserted a long time ago. A group of egrets passed by here. The leading great egret accidentally discovered that there were many fish and shrimps in the water, and there were no poisonous snakes or ferocious beasts, making it very suitable for long-term residence.

After the egrets settled down, they decorated the island very beautifully and lively. This made the snake king living under the water very jealous, so he came out to bully and prepare to occupy the island. The egrets fought to protect their home. Finally, the leading egret drove away the snake king but was seriously injured and bled to death. Later, many big trees grew out from the bleeding place. Their leaves looked like egret's wings and their flowers were the color of egret's blood. They were called Phoenix trees and their flowers were called Phoenix flowers.
