Chronicles of the Hundred Flowers Grave recounts a true story of a scholar who met a young girl who was not only intelligent, but also musically talented and could write beautiful poetry. Their ill-fated romance took place during the late Ming Dynasty (year 1368-1644) in China. It was when the scholar journeyed north to take his imperial exams, that his wife-to-be had to fall fatally ill and bed-ridden. It was feared that he could not make it in time to see her and say their last words. Upon coming back to his hometown, the scholar carried out the funeral rites (she only had a mother when she died and had no siblings), and to honor her passing, he gathered all his friends and other scholars to bestow a poem each as well as leaving behind a flower on her grave. It was rumored that as other townsfolk heard of her passing, the flowers on and around her grave grew to over seven hundred. Centuries have passed and the grave is mostly forgotten, but it has been noted that two mysterious rocks have grown just behind the grave, one of which is apparently larger than the other. They lean upon one another, like a couple of lovers behind the grave.
