Why is there such a saying that the phoenix falls on the plane tree?

Literally: Plant a plane tree, and the phoenix will settle here!

Extended meaning: When a region creates conditions for economic development, large customers will naturally come to invest and negotiate to create greater economic benefits! This proverb is also called "building a nest to attract phoenix", which means creating conditions and introducing talents.

Legend: Origin, in the folk and ancient Chinese in northern China, the word buttonwood generally refers to paulownia tree. Paulownia trees are susceptible to scrub virus. After infection, they grow very dense tiny branches and leaves, which look like a bird's nest after falling off in winter. The ancients worshipped this naturally formed thing and thought it was a "phoenix nest".

Therefore, people think that buttonwood can grow a phoenix's nest and attract the phoenix to live. Legend: A long time ago, there was an old man in a village who lived by herding sheep for others. Because the family is poor, I have never married a wife.

One day, the old man set out early with his sheep. Walking, the baby's crying came from my ear. Following the sound, I found a baby girl lying in a lush creeping weed, but tears on her face could not stop her delicate facial features. The old man gently picked up the baby girl, turned his head and looked around, and found no one. He thought that God must have seen that I was still lonely in my sixties, so he gave it to my granddaughter. The old man happily took off the broken wool vest and wrapped the baby girl in his arms carefully, just like holding a good porcelain, driving the sheep straight home, taking out a bowl full of goat milk and feeding it carefully to the baby girl. From that day on, the old man took the doll with him as both a father and a mother. Because it was found in creeping weed, I named the girl creeping weed. The old man was afraid that the baby girl would be difficult to feed, so he planted a plane tree in the yard, which means that as long as the plane tree grows up, the children will grow up with it.
