Why should cypress trees be planted next to Sun Yat-sen's sculpture?

Cypress is brave, strong and tall in the cold snow, which is the length of a hundred trees and will always be a symbol of justice, nobility, longevity and immortality.

Cypress is the carrier of emotion abroad, and cypress often appears in the cemetery, which is the admiration and nostalgia of future generations for their predecessors.

Coffins in ancient Rome were usually made of cypress trees. Greeks and Romans used to put cypress branches in the coffin of the dead, hoping that the dead would be safe and happy in another world. China people planted cypress trees on the graves and graves of the deceased in order to let them "sleep in peace". Cyperaceae, whose scientific name is cypress, comes from Zyparissias. According to Greek mythology, there was a boy named Separis who liked riding horses and hunting. He was heartbroken when he accidentally hit a deer while hunting. So eros, the goddess of love, suggested that the general should turn cypress into cypress, so that he would not die and could accompany the deer for life. The name of cypress evolved from the name of a teenager, and cypress became an immortal symbol of longevity. This story is the origin of the name cypress!

China people like to plant cypress trees in cemeteries, which originated from a folklore. According to legend, there was an evil beast in ancient times, named raccoon, who liked to steal corpses and livers. Every night, he comes out to dig graves and eat corpses. This beast is flexible, quick-moving, elusive, but afraid of tigers and cypresses. Therefore, in order to avoid this evil beast, the ancients often set up Shi Hu and planted cypress trees in the cemetery.

The reason why the ancients thought cypress could ward off evil spirits was the result of tree worship. In ancient times, there were so-called "White King" and "White King" had gods. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty said that Cao Cao wanted to build a palace, so he cut down a tree called Zhuolong. When the tree was cut down, it bled like a man. A few days later, Cao Cao got sick and died. The sacred tree must not be desecrated, or it will be punished.
