Under the old tree at the head of the village, the old people relax and enjoy the cool, the children play in groups of three and five, and the young people work in the distant fields. This is the most complete and ideal life picture in our hearts, and it is true in many villages in China. At the entrance of many villages, stands a towering tree.

Many villages built by ancestors traveled long distances and settled in selected places. Of course, the site selection is centered on the excellent landscape environment and suitability for farming and reproduction. At the beginning, a family or family often settled down and planted a tree, such as Sophora japonica and Cinnamomum camphora, which was a sign that I settled here. Children and grandchildren multiply, the longer the tree grows, the bigger the village becomes, and the big tree gradually becomes a landmark and spiritual significance.

Later, the role of old trees became more and more important. It has become a meeting room, activity center and mill in the village. ...

The old tree has become the meaning of the village, the soul of the village and the root of the wanderer in the distance!
