Introduction of famous towns in Xiangcheng: Sophora japonica in Moling Town (ancient town)

In the third year of Ming Yingzong orthodoxy (1438), to commemorate Xiangcheng County's move from Huaifangdian to Moling, Hu Lian, then the county magistrate, built streets and walls in Nanguan, Beiguan, Dongmengmen and Xidajie Yamen, and planted a locust tree. Another purpose of planting Sophora japonica is to show that the county magistrate thinks for the people and let Sophora japonica bless the people's safety.

Wang Guimei, 7 1 year old, lives near this ancient pagoda tree. She said, "This ancient pagoda tree is amazing. Although it has a history of more than 500 years, it is still fruitful. There are also several pomegranate trees and Broussonetia papyrifera. " You see, these two small trees, nearly two meters high, are pomegranate trees and Chu trees. There are other trees on it, but they are all smaller. Wang Guimei said, unfortunately, it was a cold winter and all the leaves fell. She can't see the miracle of trees growing on trees. If there are different leaves, flowers and fruits of different tree species in summer, people can clearly see other trees growing on the ancient locust tree from a distance. At that time, they can really enjoy the wonders of "trees on trees" in Moling Town!

According to Wang Guimei, one year, Moling Town was planned. It has been suggested that the ancient pagoda tree grows on the road, which affects the appearance of the city and the economic development of Moling. This ancient pagoda tree should be removed. The idea met with strong opposition from the masses. At that time, a resident surnamed Fan, who was the most strongly opposed in the town, said that whoever dared to dig this old locust tree would fight hard with him. In this way, the ancient locust tree survived.
