What's your ancestral home?

"Ask me where my hometown is, Shanxi Hong Tong Sophora japonica. What is the name of the ancestral home, the old man's nest under the big locust tree? " Since the Ming Dynasty, this ballad has been widely circulated among the people all over China, especially in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and even frequently heard by overseas Chinese organizations. The locust tree in Hongtong County has become the spiritual sustenance of Chinese children because it bears the attachment and care of ancestors for their homeland. At the same time, folk songs clearly reveal the blood and tears in the large-scale immigration movement in the early Ming Dynasty.
