What ancient trees are there in China?

China has preserved many ancient trees that have survived the historical cycles of past dynasties, but are still standing. Among them, the cypress trees in Daimiao of Taishan Mountain were planted by Liu Che, the emperor of Han Dynasty, during meditation.

Jiangjunbai

General Cedar, who enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad, is located in Songyang Academy, Dengfeng City, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. Because it is the oldest cypress in China, it is called "primitive cypress". According to legend, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty visited Songshan Mountain during the Yuanfeng period (1 10 BC), he saw these two extremely tall cypress trees and had a whim to make them "generals".

Chinese scholar tree

The ancient pagoda tree, also known as "Hong Tong pagoda tree" because of Hongtong County, is located in the pagoda tree park on the west side of Jia Cun in the northwest of Hongtong County. Although there are no striking buildings in Hongdong County itself, there are an endless stream of tourists who come to see the old face of this ancient tree during the hot summer season. Some people write poems and inscriptions to express their feelings, while others look up at the ancient tree that lingers for a long time and refuses to leave. According to ancient records, in the Ming Dynasty, there was a magnificent Guangji Temple on the west side of Jia Cun. There are not only many monks but also pilgrims in the temple. Mostly because there is a tree next to the temple, surrounded by trees, covering the sky for several acres. The broad shade covered the whole chariot and war horse avenue. Birds on Fenhe beach nest in trees, which is very spectacular. At that time, the Ming government also set up a bureau in Guangji Temple to concentrate on immigration. At that time, immigrants liked to gather under the big locust tree.

Xuanyuanbai, located in Huangdi Temple in Beiqiao Mountain, huangling county, Shaanxi Province, is the largest cypress tree in China, with a height of nearly 20 meters and a circumference of about 10 meter. But it is famous in the world because it was planted by the legendary ancestor of the Chinese nation, Huangdi, so it is also called "the cypress planted by Huangdi" and is honored as the first ancient tree in China by the people.

Phoenix pine

Phoenix pine, with a history of 1400 years, is located in the Min Garden of Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui Province. It is said that it was planted by a monk named Huaidu.
