2、 Nickname

Morning glory is also called Trumpet Flower, Chaoyan flower and Wangong flower. The reason why it is called Trumpet Flower is that its flower shape is like a trumpet, so it has this name. The Chaoyan is because it blooms in the morning and withers in the evening, which can only be seen during the day. The corresponding sunset is the sunset of yellow flowers and withers in the morning, that is, gourd flowers. The bowl male flower is because it looks like a bowl. The so-called bowl male is the Hakka name for the bowl.
