On March 21,1963,Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress,Zhu De,inspected Jian Men。Watching so many huge,high and exuberant ancient cypresses with thick leaves,he asked:“How many ancient cypresses like these are there?”The persons accompanying made an introdiction immediately。Zhu De made a nod and walked up to see an especial。y different ancient tree with the help of a crutch。The tree is a cypress with a close look,but it looks like a pine from far away。Zhu De indicated:“The cypress must be protected well。”A present farmer also introduced to say:“There is another huge tree there。”A attendant didn't understand and asked:“What kind of tree can be huge?”Zhu De answered excitedly:“That is a very big tree and is the commander-in-chief of trees。“Waking near the“commander-in-chief tree”,six attendants couldn't embrace it hand in hand。From then on,this ancient cypress has been called“Big and handsome Cypress”。 |
