story

A long time ago, there lived a farmer named A Niu near the Grand Canal. The family is very poor. At the age of seven, he lost his father and lived on his mother's textiles. A Niu's mother lived a hard life because she lost her young husband. She often cries and her eyes are broken. Spinning and weaving day and night, my eye disease became more and more serious, and soon I was blind. A Niu thought, no matter how to also want to cure mother's eyes. So I sought medical advice everywhere, but my mother's eye disease still didn't get better. One night, A Niu dreamed that a girl told him, "There is a smallpox swing dozens of miles west along the canal. There is a white chrysanthemum in the swing, which can cure eye diseases. This flower won't bloom until the Double Ninth Festival in September, and it can be used to make soup.

Giving it to your mother will definitely cure her eye disease. "

On the Double Ninth Festival, A Niu took dry food to the ceiling to find white chrysanthemums. A white wild chrysanthemum was found in the grass, with nine flowers on one stem. After eating the seventh chrysanthemum, A Niu's mother's eyes began to see again. However, since the news that chrysanthemum can cure eye diseases reached the sad box, the rich Zhang Man sent several people to rob the white chrysanthemum. Because of the competition between the two sides, the chrysanthemum was broken, and A Niu was very sad.

Later, the girl came to him and advised him, "Your filial piety has touched the sky. Don't be sad, go back to sleep! " "A Niu said," This chrysanthemum is broken. " The girl said, "Although the chrysanthemum stem is broken, it is not dead. As long as the roots are dug out and transplanted to other places, white chrysanthemums will grow. " A Niu said, "Girl, I want to repay you well. The girl said, "I am the chrysanthemum fairy in the sky, and I am here to help you." I don't need to repay you. As long as you follow a "Chrysanthemum Ballad", white chrysanthemums will surely grow alive. "

A Niu planted it according to the instructions of the Chrysanthemum Fairy, and then many branches grew on the old roots of Chrysanthemum. He cut off these branches for cutting and then cultivated them. On the ninth double ninth festival in September of the following year, white chrysanthemums were in full bloom and the fragrance was overflowing. Later, A Niu taught the poor in the village the skills of growing chrysanthemums. So many people suffering from eye diseases have also cured them.
