The trees are luxuriant, tall and tall, providing shade for acres. Dayun Road runs through it to the east, making transportation very convenient. The government of the Ming Dynasty repeatedly relocated people from Shanxi to other places, and immigrants from Hongdong and nearby areas, which had a large number of immigrants, concentrated here. The relocated immigrants were reluctant to leave when they set off, and looked back frequently. The ancient locust tree became the most memorable symbol of the immigrants at that time when they said goodbye. To this day, in Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu and other places, two folk proverbs are still widely circulated: "Ask me where my hometown is, there is a big locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi." The ancient locust trees of the Han Dynasty have long since disappeared. The second-generation ancient locust tree has also dried up, while the third-generation ancient locust tree is growing vigorously, with luxuriant branches and leaves, as tall and straight as the ancient locust tree in the Han Dynasty. In order to commemorate the ancient locust tree, an exquisite and unique stele pavilion with carved beams and painted pillars, cornices and brackets was built in 1911 at the ancient locust tree in the Han Dynasty.
