Saxifrage is not only ornamental, but also has medicinal value. There is also a legend about the efficacy and function of saxifrage.
It is said that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty abused his peoples power and dug a grand canal that ran through the north and south for pleasure. This canal flows through Ximen City in Jiaxing. There is a farmers family living in Hebei. His father Wang Along is strong and his wife Wang is very wise. The family has two daughters: Peach Blossom, Shiba, and Chrysanthemum, Shiqi. Although the two sisters are not Very beautiful, yet very dignified and strong. She often helps some lonely elderly people in the village to cook drinks and wash clothes, and often saves some delicious food for the poor elderly people. People in the village give them thumbs up and praise them as a pair of good sisters with a Bodhisattva heart. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was debauched and immoral, evil people were rampant in troubled times, and Jiaxing was no exception. The flower-picking thief Huang Ba ruined many women from good families, and he had already coveted the two girls Peach Blossom and Chrysanthemum.
In the cold winter, Peach Blossoms hands are soft and smooth, while Chrysanthemum Blossoms hands are red, swollen, ulcerated, and covered with chilblains. One day, Juhua helped her sister carry a basket filled with clothes, and they went to the river to wash clothes together. On the damp rocks beside the canal, many beautiful saxifrages grew. The leaves of this grass are round or kidney-shaped, and the surface is Light green, pink on the back, 5 petals, integrated into panicles, white flowers, oval fruit. Juhua looked at Peach Blossom with envy as she washed her clothes by the river. Suddenly, a black shadow rushed towards the chrysanthemum. The chrysanthemum was caught off guard, fell down, and fell on the saxifrage. The crushed juice was smeared on the chrysanthemums hands. Peach Blossom shouted: "Help!" The cry for help shook the lake. When the villagers heard Peach Blossom calling for help, they rushed across the lake from all directions. Everyone saw the flower picker being rude to chrysanthemums in broad daylight. Sisters Taohua and Juhua fought hard against the flower-picking thieves. The crowd shouted loudly: "Smash the flower picker to death!" Stones and bricks flew towards the flower picker like raindrops. When the flower picker saw something was wrong, he jumped into the river and escaped.
After a few days, Juhua found that the frostbite on her hands was no longer very painful, and the redness and swelling had also subsided. After looking at it, her sister Taohua said: "Sister, it seems that this saxifrage can cure your chilblains." So Chrysanthemum picked the saxifrage and kneaded it into juice, and applied it on the festering chilblains. Sure enough, the chilblains were cured. . Later, when the villagers got chilblains, they would collect saxifrage and rub the juice on them, and the skin would become soft and smooth.
