Is there a locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi?

During the 600-odd years of the Ming Dynasty, due to the war, millions of immigrants moved to all parts of the country through the big pagoda tree in Hongdong County, Shanxi Province. This million people went through the formalities in Sophora japonica in Hongtong County, Shanxi Province, so Sophora japonica became a witness to the history of immigration, leaving many legends.

Sophora japonica, also known as Sophora japonica in Hongtong County, Linfen City, is located in the root-seeking ancestral garden on the west side of Jia Cun, two kilometers north of Hongtong County. It is a cultural relic protection unit in Shanxi Province and a national AAAA-level scenic spot. It is the only sacred place for people to worship with the theme of "seeking roots" and "offering sacrifices to ancestors".

According to "Hongtong County Records" of the Republic of China, Sophora japonica was surrounded by "seven wives". Refers to the length of an adult's outstretched arm, which is five feet. Calculated, the circumference 13 meters is more than 4 meters in diameter.

Regrettably, the original pagoda tree has been washed away by water together with the temple, and later generations wrote an inscription on the old site, which read "Where the ancient pagoda tree is located". Now, the second and third generations of Sophora japonica with the same root are still alive.

Up to now, there is still a folk song circulating in Hebei, Henan, Shandong and other regions: "Ask me where my ancestors are, Shanxi Hongtong locust tree. What's your ancestral home? The old man's nest under the big banyan tree. " For hundreds of years, this folk song has been passed down from mouth to mouth in the north and south of the great river and inside and outside the Great Wall. No matter old people or children, they have never forgotten where their roots and ancestors are. Hongtong pagoda tree root-seeking ancestral temple is a very famous hometown of immigrants in Ming Dynasty. For more than 600 years, the relocation of Sophora japonica has been deeply rooted in the hearts of Chinese descendants and is regarded as "home", "ancestor" and "root". It has become a place where countless people linger.

The most representative hometown is probably the big pagoda tree in Hongtong. Hong Tong Sophora japonica, also known as ancient Sophora japonica, is located 2 kilometers northwest of Hongtong County. The ancient tree with thick trunk, withered branches and leaves, covered with gullies, although scarred, is an ancient locust tree without losing its character and integrity. Although the tree has lived for a long time, the ancient pagoda tree in the Han Dynasty has disappeared, and the second generation of ancient pagoda tree bred from the same root has long withered, but the second generation of new pagoda tree is flourishing and full of vitality, just like the descendants of immigrants.

Although these people have no choice but to leave their hometown because of that, every wanderer who leaves home, no matter how far he goes, will never forget his home, so everyone in Hongdong, although the first generation of immigrants took away the regret, later people will come back to fill it.

The locust tree has long since disappeared. Is the locust tree seen so far the root of the old locust tree, or is the child giving birth to a grandson? The genealogy of my family is clearly recorded, and the first sentence explains: my ancestors were from Shanxi, and Daming was middle-aged ... forced by livelihood, my ancestors moved to Fanxian for a few months with their three sons, and then moved. Many people will sing: Ask me where my ancestors came from, the locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi. Mr. Li Cunbao, the author of the TV series "Garland under the Mountain", once wrote a full-page story about Ming immigrants in a Shandong newspaper. I just know that it is not only my ancestors who bid farewell to the big locust tree, but also more ancestors. They were forced to live in exile and rebuild their homes. The great migration lasted for many years, and the ancestors were forced to scatter everywhere. Only the big locust tree may be remembered! Sophora japonica is the hometown of wanderers, and it is the ancestral temple to witness joys and sorrows. Although its body is haggard and old, its elegance has not disappeared; It is deeply rooted in love and takes root. No matter the vicissitudes of life, it is not a spring snow; It is a tree, a tree regarded as a god by ancestors; It carries not only that sad history, but also endless grief; Without roots, how can it flourish? Only by taking root can we germinate! Although the roots of Sophora japonica are humble in the barren and lonely land, they don't moan or stick to their old age. Looking forward to it day and night, but always worrying about the wanderers in a foreign land ... let's bless our ancestors, because the old times have passed! May the locust tree last forever, and may the ancestors sleep peacefully!

Ruthless answer: the legendary locust tree is long gone! During the Republic of China, there was nothing but the second generation of Sophora japonica (the root system extension of the first generation of Sophora japonica), and there were many weeds.

I am from a folk ancient tree protection association in Anyang. 200 1, went to hongtong pagoda tree. There is a dead locust tree trunk wrapped in cement, which has a history of about 200 years.
