According to legend, as early as the Tang Dynasty, there were descriptions of weenie trees in ancient documents in China. It is called Gleditsia sinensis in Youyang Miscellanies. In addition, there is a poem in China that describes the weenie tree. The poem reads: "Grandma went for a walk, staggered slowly, rested under the roadside tree, caught her breath and drank some water; The wind blows down Huang Jinyu, as if in a fairyland. Suddenly, I saw a black stick on the ground, and my grandmother picked it up as a crutch. I am so happy that my grandmother laughed! Grandma is happy, grandma is happy! "

The flowering period of cultural sausage flowers is in May, which attracts many people to watch at this time of the year. The trees are full of yellow flowers swaying with the wind, and the petals fall with the wind, just like a fairyland. Therefore, sausage flower is also called Huang Jinyu.

In the Qing Dynasty in China, yellow was a symbol of dignity and rights. The robes of the ancient emperors in China were all yellow, probably the beautiful and spectacular yellow petals of sausage flowers. Weenie is regarded as the national flower in Thailand, and yellow petals are regarded as the symbol of Thai royal family. At the World Garden Expo held in 2006, Chiang Mai Agricultural Research Center named the weenie tree as the World Garden Expo in 2549.
