A story is recorded in the Spring and Autumn of Wu Yue written by Zhao Xu in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The State of Yue was destroyed by the State of Wu, and the King of Yue was determined to take revenge. He knew that this could not be done in a day, so he "worked hard, day and night, and lay down to attack the Polygonum." This is another way of saying that one suffers from hardship and sufferings. After abdicating from the throne and living in seclusion, the King of Yue still fought hardships and ate light, never forgetting the shame of destroying the country and the desire for revenge, and finally defeated the State of Wu.

During the Han Dynasty, Liu Qi, the emperor of Han Dynasty, sealed his son Liu Fa as the king of Changsha. According to legend, Ding Wang built a high platform in Changsha to see his mother's grave because he missed his mother. At the same time, a polygonum garden was opened in his palace to show that he did not forget his mother. The platform, known as Dingwangtai by descendants, is still in the east of Changsha County, Hunan Province, but the Polygonum Garden is nowhere to be seen.
