Hong Tong Sophora Root-seeking Ancestor Garden, located in Hongtong County, Shaanxi Province, is the only sacred place in China with the theme of "root-seeking" and "ancestor worship". It is a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction [1] and a key cultural relic protection unit in Shaanxi Province. In 2008, the custom of worshipping ancestors with Sophora japonica was listed in the national intangible cultural heritage list.

The scenic spot is divided into five major theme areas: immigrant historic site area, ancestor worship activity area, folk tourism area, Fenhe ecological area and Genzu cultural square. There are more than 60 scenic and cultural attractions, such as the Monument Pavilion, the second and third generations of Sophora japonica, the Millennium Sophora japonica root, the ancestral sacrifice hall, Guangji Temple, Shijinglou, the relief map of immigrants, and the Chinese surname garden.

The migration of Sophora japonica in Hongdong began at the end of Northern Song Dynasty, and reached its climax in Hongwu and Yongle in Ming Dynasty, which lasted until the middle of Qing Dynasty. It took more than 700 years from the year of Jianzhong Jing (11) to the twenty-fifth year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (1820). The great migration between Hongwu and Yongle in Ming Dynasty was the largest, widest, organized and planned migration in China history. In order to consolidate the economic foundation of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang implemented the system of reclaiming land and rewarded the people, army and businessmen who reclaimed land, which has certain historical significance in restoring production, increasing population, developing economy, developing frontier areas and cultural exchanges. The migration lasted for 50 years, involving 1230 surnames, and hundreds of millions of immigrant descendants migrated from here to various places.

From the third year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty to the fifteenth year of Yongle, there were 18 large-scale official immigrants under Sophora japonica, covering more than 500 counties in Henan, Shandong, Hebei and other 18 provinces and cities. After 600 years of migration and reproduction, there are descendants of China immigrants all over the world.
