There is a thousand-year-old Sophora japonica tree standing majestically on Guhuai Road in Zhong District, Jining City.
This old locust tree is nicknamed "Sanyin Ancient Locust Tree" because it is located on the ancient locust tree road, which is the highest point in Jining City. In history, there is a saying that "the whole city is flooded with water, but this place is safe alone." It is said that the people of Jining came up with a clever idea and named this place "Yushan" with the meaning of "the fisherman lost his boat and sighed here, and the woodcutter in Shanyin had fun". Ancient Sophora japonica is located in the south of Yushan Mountain, and the south of the mountain is Yang, so it is named "Sanyang Ancient Sophora japonica". According to legend, the famous founding general of the Tang Dynasty visited his friend Daozong, the nephew of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty. He stopped under the big locust tree, reined up his horse and watched it, thus leaving a good saying of "respecting Deleh and looking at the ancient locust tree". As for the legend that the white mouse spirit in the cave of the old locust tree turned into a little daughter-in-law, it gives Laohuai a mysterious color.

In the early years of the Republic of China, a scholar from Peking who lived in Jining Seeing that this ancient locust tree was old, Wang Yizhi once wrote in seal script "Shanyang Ancient Locust Tree" in stone and embedded it on the wall of the tree. Looking from a distance, the ancient locust tree is tangled and twisted. The wooden cloth has been rusted and hollow, and only the remaining The old bark embodies the vicissitudes of Jining City's history. The bark of the ancient locust tree that had been dormant for many years in the past few years has sprouted new branches. Unfortunately, in the summer of 1992, a lightning storm broke the new branches of the ancient locust tree. What we see now is the second-generation locust tree sprouting from the roots of the ancient locust tree. It is full of vitality and green and shades. Together with the old bark of the ancient locust tree, it forms a landscape of "ancient locust tree with seeds".
