Osmanthus fragrans legend:

Legend has it that WU GANG's wife had an affair with Sun Boling, the grandson of Emperor Yan. WU GANG killed Boling in a rage, angered the Sun God of Emperor Yan, and was sent to the moon to cut down immortal trees.

However, laurel and cuttings hit it off. Every time WU GANG cuts an axe, the branches and leaves cut by the axe will grow back on the tree. After so long, WU GANG still failed to cut down the laurel tree.

Feeling guilty, WU GANG's wife ordered her three sons to become toads, rabbits and snakes and fly to the moon to accompany WU GANG.

In order to help his father cut down the osmanthus tree as soon as possible, Yutu kept mashing the cut branches and leaves.
