The allusions of hibiscus flowers:
Meng Changjun, the Emperor of Shu after the Five Dynasties, had a concubine named "Mrs. Huarui". She is not only charming, but also likes flowers. One year, she went to the flower market. Among the flowers, she saw clusters of hibiscus flowers rolling in like colorful clouds in the sky, and she especially liked them. In order to please the beloved princess, Meng Changjun also ordered to plant hibiscus flowers in Chengtou, Chengdu.
In October of the 12th year of Zheng Guang, Meng Chang's Greentown Project was completed, and Mrs. Huarui boarded the tower together to see the colorful hibiscus flowers in Chengdu for dozens of miles. Since then, Chengdu has gained the reputation of "City of Furong". Later, after the demise of Shu, Mrs. Hua Rui was swept into the harem by the emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Mrs. Hua Rui often misses Meng Chang and secretly treasures his portrait to express her feelings of missing him. When Zhao Kuangyin found out, he forced her to hand over the portrait. However, Mrs. Huarui refused, and Zhao Kuangyin killed her in a rage. Later generations respected Mrs. Hua Rui's loyalty to love and regarded her as the "hibiscus flower god", so the hibiscus flower was also called the "love flower".
