Hundreds of years ago, siwanggang had dense ancient trees and beautiful mountains. On the hilltop, the Dongjiang River flows slowly to the West. When you look around, you can see the countryside and the rivers. Siwanggang got its name. In the past, there was a temple called "Junshan Temple" in the mountain. The pavilions and pavilions in the temple, the study Gallery, and the garden winding path are elegant and quiet. Outside the temple, the mountains are full of green pines and Danli, and the flowers and plants are everywhere. Bai Juyi's "April is the end of the world, and the peach blossom begins to bloom in the mountain temple", the flowers are blooming everywhere, and the flowers and plants are gorgeous in the spring. It is a tourist attraction that people yearn for.

In front of siwanggang temple, the land cultivated by monks still retains the local name of "monk land". Besides leaving a little historical mark, how many people will know that it once had a time when visitors were weaving day by day and the drum was ringing day by day? People can forget that siwanggang used to be a tourist attraction for literati; however, people will not forget that siwanggang was a famous lychee producing area in history; siwanggang lychee once created historical glory for Xintang and Zengcheng.

Resources

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhan Ruoshui, an official of Zengcheng who was the Minister of rites, officials and soldiers in Nanjing, ended his official career and returned to his hometown of Shabei via Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian. When he tasted litchi in Fengting, Xianyou County, Fujian Province, he found a good variety of litchi, so he went back with the seeds in his heart and let the villagers cultivate it in siwanggang. After generations of careful cultivation, the area around siwanggang soon became a boundless litchi forest. Moreover, the hills and ridges of Shabei and the ridges of Jiwei are full of litchi. There is a prosperous scene of "three hundred litchi trees planted by the family, and the harvest is ripe every year", "many phoenix eggs and dragon balls are like valleys, and every village celebrates the bumper year" [Qing / Tan Ying's Lingnan litchi CI]. The litchi cultivated in siwanggang was sweet, juicy, high-yielding and easy to grow. It was soon spread to all parts of Lingnan, thus ending the history of only producing early maturing and sour litchi in Lingnan. Since then, in memory of Shang Shu Zhan Ruoshui, people called this litchi "Shang Shu Huai". "In June, Zengcheng is a place of high quality, where only shangshuhuai is sold. The jade fence and gold well are priceless, and the jade hairpin of manniang can be exchanged" [Qu Dajun's poem]. Siwanggang shangshuhuai is famous.

In the summer of 2002, when the news that a piece of Zengcheng hanging green litchi sold 555000 yuan shocked and agitated the media at home and abroad, Xintang International Jeans Textile Co., Ltd., the winner of this high price litchi, was building "the first Chinese jeans city" in siwanggang, the birthplace of hanging green litchi. When the reporter asked them why they wanted to take this lychee at such a high price, the representative of the company replied loudly: "what we have taken is not a lychee in a simple sense, but a long-lasting brand. We should make use of this effect to make jeans as famous as hanging green lychee forever."

When he tasted litchi in Fengting, Xianyou County, Fujian Province, he found a good variety and brought back the seeds for local people to cultivate in siwanggang. After generations of careful cultivation, siwanggang soon became an endless lychee forest. Since then, people called this lychee "shangshuhuai" in memory of Shangshu Zhan Ruoshui.
