Introduction of welcoming pine

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, Min listed Yingke pine as the seventh of the nine famous pines in his "The Stone Spectrum of Huangshan Pine". "Be careful with the slope, the roots are soilless, the branches and leaves meet, and you are right with the tourists and naturally give in." The welcoming pine is actually two pines, one welcoming pine and the other sending pine. Regarding the location of the welcoming pine, Jin Zhijing's "Travel to Huangshan Mountain" in the early Qing Dynasty recorded: "There are two gates at half slope, one pine is outside and the other pine is inside. If there are welcoming guests and seeing them off, that's what the welcoming pine said: the more you step on the blessing stone ... then it will be a sky. "

The existing Welcome and Farewell Song is named after the death of the ancient Welcome and Farewell Song, with a history of about 150 to 60 years. Chen Shaofeng, the Justice of the Peace, owes the real reputation of Yingkesong. He selected the photos of Yingkesong in the Guide to Huangshan Mountain (published by the Commercial Press, 1929) and put them in front of the text of the book. Since then, the welcoming pine has been widely known.
