Millennium ancient litchi is located in Dengjia Village, Xinwei Town, Lingshan. The variety is Lingshan Li Xiang. The maximum trunk circumference of this tree is 6.15m, the tree height is13.3m, and the crown is15m. Ancient litchi grows vigorously, with slightly flat oval fruit, deep red skin, small core, thick, sweet, crisp and fragrant meat and high quality every year. It is recognized that the tree age is over 1.460 years (planted in 503 AD, the tree age is over 1.502 years ago), and it is the oldest existing mother tree of fragrant litchi in Lingshan, China. There are records in Lingshan County Records and Guangdong Litchi Records. 1May, 1999, it was listed as the second batch of key cultural relics protection units by the county people's government. With the strong support of Xinxu Town Government, Deng Jia Village Committee and County Fruit Bureau, the "Millennium Ancient Litchi Protection" project organized and implemented by Lingshan Agriculture Bureau has recently completed the construction task and passed the acceptance inspection, and the ancient litchi has revived in 1500.

Lingshan Guli has a history of thousands of years.
This litchi is 500 years old. If someone points to a litchi tree on the roadside and says to you, you don't have to make a fuss. In Lingshan, known as the hometown of litchi in China, there are hundreds or even thousands of years old litchi trees everywhere. According to the Records of Lingshan County, litchi cultivation began in the Tang Dynasty and developed greatly in the Song Dynasty. 196 1 year, Guangdong Fruit Research Institute visited Lingshan (Lingshan was under the jurisdiction of Guangdong at that time) and identified a fragrant litchi tree in Dengjiapo Brigade of Xinxu Commune (now Dengjia Village of Xinxu Town), which was over 1400 years old. Now, many places in Lingshan have had this custom since ancient times. No matter which family adds a man, they plant a few litchi trees near their home. When litchi bears fruit, it is when children grow up and study, and when they have the capital to study. Therefore, the charm of ancient litchi trees can be seen everywhere now. In ancient times, whoever had more litchi trees in Lingshan symbolized who had money. There was once a family with 1000 litchi trees, that is to say, there were 6,500 litchi trees, which was said by Wan Huhou and others. In Dengjia Village, 7 kilometers away from the county seat, ancient Toona sinensis with a tree age of over 400 to 500 years can be seen everywhere. The reporter interviewed more than 10 villagers in the village, but no one knows how many ancient licks there are in the village. At the door of a family, 80-year-old Huang pointed to an ancient fragrant litchi with a crown and branches and told reporters that this litchi was like this when it was a child. Every other year, the fruit weighs 1000 kilograms for many times. In the 1970s, this tree. According to the comrades of the Propaganda Department of the County Party Committee, Xinyuan Village also has many ancient litchi trees, two of which are quite famous, namely Khrushchev and Nixon. It is said that Khrushchev and Nixon once ate litchi produced by these two trees. In Dalu Village, there are more than ten ancient lychees with a tree age of 100 to 400 years. The leaves are swaying and fruitful. Some old lychees are empty, but bright red lychees are still covered with branches. The villagers said that the pulp produced by these ancient lychees was particularly crisp and sweet. According to the comrades of the county fruit bureau, there are dozens of ancient lychees over 0/000 years old in the county, and tens of thousands of lychees over 300 to 400 years old, mainly fragrant lychees. Lingshan litchi has a long history, and its planting history can be traced back to 1000 years ago in the Tang Dynasty. Today, there are still more than 200 ancient plum trees in Dengjia Village, Xinxu Town, which are flourishing and fruitful. One of them is considered to be the ancestor of Li Xiang in Lingshan. There are many kinds of litchi, including high, medium and low-grade products, early, middle and late ripening. Lingshan litchi treasures include fragrant litchi, glutinous rice paste and cinnamon. 200 1 year, the area of litchi in the county is 595,500 mu, and the output is 28,000 tons.

In Dengjia Village, Xinxu Town, a "hometown without litchi", a towering ancient litchi is particularly eye-catching, and its crown and branches are covered with fruits. According to local cadres, this fragrant litchi tree has a history of at least 1400 years. It is the longest-lived litchi tree found in China at present and has been listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in Lingshan. According to historical records, litchi cultivation in Lingshan began in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that in ancient times, litchi trees were an important symbol to measure people's wealth. There used to be thousands of litchi trees. According to Wan Huhou and others, in the past, local families often planted several litchi trees in front of and behind their houses. Litchi is one of the oldest and longest-lived tree species in China. At present, there are dozens of litchi trees over a thousand years old in Lingshan, and tens of thousands of litchi trees over 3400 years old.
In Lingshan, most people know that there is a Wenbi Mountain, because Wenbi Mountain is only 8 kilometers away from the county seat, echoing the six peaks in the county seat, and you can see it from the south of the county seat. It is also because Wenbi Mountain is a mountain with historical and cultural relics in Lingshan, and Wenbi Peak at the top of the mountain has many ancient legends among the people. Since its completion, Wenbifeng has been deeply attracting groups of local poets. Now, it is also a good place for people in the county and surrounding villages to climb mountains and go for a spring outing. The first level (a mountain on the ridge), upward, the whole ridge extends to the top of the mountain (even to the east of Wenbi Peak). From then on, the whole mountain ridge was shaped like a tiger lying on the ground, with two small mountain ridges folded on the left and right sides, such as the forelimbs of the tiger. In front of the mountain is an open field across the road, and a stream in the middle twists and turns from southeast to northwest, such as a ridge extending south from seven or eight hills, forming two extremely vivid swans with Qi Fei wings, body, head and mouth. The local people say that this is a place where geese tread on water, and the feng shui is good. (Note: The male goose treads on water, which means that the male goose mates with the female goose. At first glance, it really looks like it. The two geese, with overlapping wings and embracing each other from left to right, are lifelike and full of amorous feelings, and have reached the top of the ninth grade mountain. Grass grows vigorously, and the whole hillside is covered with lush thatch. The thatch is in full bloom with white tidbits, which are silvery white in the sun. Trivia swaying in the breeze, the charm is remarkable. Looking down from the ninth grade mountain, the three ridges are almost cliff-like, but the middle becomes gentle. These three ridges and the tenth grade mountain are already the main peaks of Wenbi Mountain, and the lighthouse-like Wenbi Peak (tower) on the top of the mountain has appeared in our east. Looking back, we can overlook the mountain ridge that we just passed, just like a huge mountain, twisting from side to side, which is extremely vivid and powerful. Looking to the southwest, you can see that Fairy Ridge is really like a girl lying on her back, with clear facial features on her head, clear body curves, uneven hair, long hair flowing to the southeast, and her abdomen and lower limbs extending to the northwest. I came to Wenbi Peak at an altitude of 50 1.5 meters, and finally got in touch with Wenbi Peak at zero distance. Wenbi Peak is a stepped octahedral peak tower that gradually converges upward, with 19 floors, each with a height of 33 cm and a width of 18cm. Each floor of the octagonal tower is 4.5 meters wide and about 36 meters in circumference. The top edge is 2m, the circumference is 16m, the diagonal width is 5m, and the hypotenuse is 6.8m high. When you climb to the top of the tower, you can see that the shell of the tower is compacted with sand, mud and lime, and the thickness is about 40 cm. There is a cross-shaped partition wall with a thickness of 33cm in the tower, which is also rammed with sand, mud and lime and connected with four peak walls. The rest of the space is filled with yellow mud. The east-west inner partition wall extends to the shape of the tower, forming a pair of ear protectors for the peak tower. Ear protectors are also made of sand, mud and lime mixed and rammed by peaks. They are trapezoidal, with a peak ear thickness of 73 cm and a base protruding by 2. 1 m, which is as high as ten levels of the peak tower, that is, 3.3 meters high. Regarding the origin of Wenbifeng, the old people in the village said that because Lingshan is a treasure trove of geomantic omen and outstanding people, Maanshan, located in the east of the county seat, is a Shangjingma, and talents from Lingshan will ride this BMW to Beijing to be an official. However, in order to prevent Lingshan talents from entering the imperial capital, the Buddhist temple of the imperial court nailed a big pillar to the top of Guanliang Mountain in Xinxu Town, south of the county behind Shangjingma, so as to bind Shangjingma and destroy the geomantic omen of Lingshan, so that no one ever entered the DPRK as an official, and Liangguanshan was called Wenbi Mountain from now on. This folklore is a bit strange, and it is still widely circulated today. It is believed that Wenbi Peak destroyed the geomantic omen of Lingshan. However, the purpose, background and reasons for the construction of Wenbi Peak in actual history are just the opposite of this legend, not to destroy Feng Shui, but to make up for its deficiency. According to the Records of Lingshan County in Qing Dynasty and Republic of China, the old building of Wenbifeng has different meanings and important social background. During the Qing Dynasty, the social atmosphere in Lingshan was very bad, and thieves, gambling, fighting and prostitutes prevailed. The fundamental reason was the poor quality and ignorance of the people at that time. Therefore, with the joint efforts of the county government and people from all walks of life, measures have been taken to increase research efforts. In the 26th year of Kangxi, Chi Weicheng, a magistrate of a county, founded Xiling Academy. In forty-one years (A.D. 1702), the state established the school, initially focusing on promoting learning and educating people. When the Confucian Temple was rebuilt in the 58th year of Kangxi (A.D. 17 19), Li Peiren, a magistrate of a county, also wrote an inscription for the reconstruction of the Confucian Temple. At all times and all over the world, if cities are built to educate people, they will seek all kinds of education. Therefore, there must be a temple to show that the county government attaches importance to education and advocates learning. In the first year of Qianlong (AD 1736), the purpose was to promote education. "Check the old example, it is not enough for faculty to eat the same salary. Starting from the spring of the first year of Qianlong, we will give full salary according to the level of each member. For example, during the Qianlong period, the county government allocated a lot of fields, rented silver for detailed salaries, and approved the allocation of funds. As a result, business remained, fame was on fire, and people scrambled to learn, which was more active than before. In this upsurge of promoting learning and educating talents, the townspeople Lao Ji and Zhang Shu advocated building a peak of literary style in Liangguan Mountain and Confucian Temple, which was in Qianlong 1770 in Qing Dynasty. It seems that when they were building the peak of writing style, they had the intention of revitalizing writing style, purifying social atmosphere and making Lingshan a scholar and a great talent. When the peak of writing style was completed, they entered the Wang family. Flowers should dream of Jiang Lang, clouds meet five colors, and crossbows are dying. From then on, the sea and the sky stood out from the crowd, and the night sky was regarded as a dewdrop star. From this background, it can be seen that the intention and function of the original construction of Wenbi Peak are obvious. It is said that the construction of this tower was supervised by Lao Ji and Zhang Faqi. There are 25 stories on the Tower Plateau, but it collapsed many times due to wind and rain. Now there is only 19 floor, which now occupies a quarter of the northeast part of the tower, separated by the middle transverse wall and has collapsed to the bottom of the tower. Other surfaces are also covered with cracks and thatch. The reason for its collapse may be mainly due to the peak of that year. But there are no bones and muscles (such as bamboo chips, steel bars, etc.). ) attached to the wall in the building and between buildings, so that the original upper six floors were separated from the lower nineteen floors and fell down. At the same time, because the center of the tower is rammed with yellow mud, there is no batch of mortar at the top of the tower, and rainwater is poured from the middle of the top, and there are no drainage holes around the peak. So when it rains heavily, the rain pours out from the yellow mud at the top, causing the peak to swell and break, and thatch appears in the cracks. Born in feudal society, spanning four centuries, Lingshan was the first antique and experienced several dynasties. Although she is so young compared with the Great Wall in the north, she is so old for today's generation of reform and opening up. She inherits the beauty of Li Xiang, exudes the simplicity of the people and shines with the wisdom of ancient literati. Today, with its unique charm and heavy historical accumulation, she still becomes a splendid cultural landscape, which deeply attracts her. Standing on the top of Guanliang Mountain, I saw the winding mountains rushing from east to west, with extraordinary and magnificent momentum. Moreover, Qifeng will make you feel that you can receive the skylight here and look far away. Lingshan City echoes the penholder-like Six Peak Mountains from a distance, just in front of the north. The white water of Heminghe, the highest peak of Lingshan, flows eastward, and the four seasons do not overflow or dry up, like the light of a mirror. It gives people a feeling that the jade belt in the river is ahead and can reach six peaks. Overlooking the North Mountain, there is a deep valley under the steep hillside. The left and right mountains are like dragons and tigers, taking care of each other and accommodating all beings. It's true that the left Qinglong and the right White Tiger embrace each other, the midrib embraces each other, and the petals embrace each other. It's really hiding the wind and gathering gas! Moreover, the ridges that embrace each other here are not as desolate as the crouching tiger, hidden dragon and wild geese spreading their wings when they just went up the mountain. The pine forest here is lush, green, clear and delicate, full of spiritual escape, looks exquisite, auspicious and harmonious, showing a warm, soft and delicate beauty, while a peak in Petal Mountain stands sharply, like the core of a flower-
