Why Magnolia is the city flower of Bijie?
The implication of magnolia represents freshness, holiness and gratitude.
The legend of Mulan is permeated with traditional folk stories in China. The story is about three sisters who lived in the mountains a long time ago. My sister's name is Magnolia grandiflora, the second is Magnolia grandiflora, and the third is Huang Yulan. One day, when they went down the mountain to play, they found cold water and autumn smoke in the village. The three sisters were very surprised. Inquired about the people in the village, only to know that the original Qin Shihuang was rushing to fill the sea and killed the lobster princess. Since then, the Dragon King and Zhangjiajie have become enemies. The Dragon King locked the salt storage and prevented Zhangjiajie people from eating salt, which finally led to a plague and many people died. The three sisters were very sympathetic to them, so they decided to help them beg for salt. But how easy is it? After being rejected by the Dragon King many times, the three sisters had to start with the general crab guarding the salt storehouse, charmed the general crab with their own flowers, took the opportunity to cut through the salt storehouse and immerse all the salt in the seawater. The people in the village were saved, but the three sisters were turned into flower trees by the Dragon King. Later, in memory of them, people called the flower tree "Magnolia".
Because magnolia has the meaning of freshness, holiness and gratitude, which conforms to the image of the government, all magnolia trees are planted around Zhongnanhai because of this.
