It is called "the first pagoda tree in the world" and is also called "jiurao 10". According to Jiaqing four years (AD 1799) "involved county annals" recorded: "the ancient locust tree, there are three cities, are planted from the Tang and Song dynasties. One is in Guxian Town, surrounded by ten big trees, with sparse branches and leaves, like a dragon. " In addition, according to guxincun's ancient pagoda stele, the ancient pagoda in Zhongzhou resort dates back to the territory of Shahou state (that is, Shexian county), which is very rare in the world. It is the bell of China's beauty and the pride of the nation. The geometry of huaishou remains to be studied, but there are many popular folk stories. First, Zhengde (1506-1521 A.D.) of the Ming Dynasty was founded in the early period, and it has been said that the village had been built for thousands of years. Second, during the Warring States period, Qin soldiers attacked Zhao Dongjin road too much, and once stopped eating. Third, YiWeng of the Tang Dynasty practiced Taoism here, and de Gao was good at playing chess. Therefore, the ancient pagoda tree should have a history of more than 2000 years. Ancient locust is worshipped as "immortal tree". Legend: "in the year of Guangxu, there was a great famine, and there was no grain and millet in the village. The ancient locust trees opened" locust storehouse ". During the day, the hungry people gathered all the green leaves, and overnight, new leaves were reborn, more prosperous than yesterday, saving the whole village's life. The trunk of the ancient locust tree is only more than Zhang. The old branches in the northwest break early, and the broken parts decay into holes. Many parts of the trunk bark no longer exist. After being eroded by wind and rain and gnawed by the sun and the moon, the exposed wood has split into huge plates. However, at the turn of spring and summer, the trees turn green and luxuriant, and the villagers are infected with diseases. Some people still seek medical treatment from locust trees. When the trees are hung with plaques such as "respond to every request" and "blessing from God locust", the incense is constantly burning. The villagers are proud of it, and even lock their children under the trees to let locust fairy take care of them for peace. With the development of tourism, the villagers spontaneously donate money to protect the ancient locust. The ancient locust is the witness of the civilization history along the Zhanghe River in the Qing Dynasty. You can see that it is full of colorful words. It stands up completely through the wind and frost, and the branches are broken, and every brick and tile falls into the street. Its high school character is really worthy of praise and worship. Ancient streets, stone roads, ancestral halls, ancient dwellings, ancient canals, and tourism themed on the ancient locust trees have formed small-scale scenic spots.
