2. What are the legends about Hosta?

According to legend, in the heavenly palace of the Ninth Heaven, there lived a fairy with a very naughty personality. The fairy was the youngest daughter of the Queen Mother. She had longed for the free and unrestrained days on earth since she was a child. However, because the Queen Mother was extremely strict, the fairy could only plan to secretly descend to the earth on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. Unexpectedly, on the day of the birthday banquet, the Queen Mother saw through her daughter's thoughts and exposed them, leaving the fairy no chance to descend to the earth.

The fairy had no choice but to take off the jade hairpin in her hair and let it go to the human world on her behalf. Later, when the jade hairpin fell on the human world, flowers like the jade hairpin grew out of it. These flowers that emit a fresh fragrance are the well-known hostas, also known as the "No. 1 flower in Jiangnan."
