There is a magical story passed down from generation to generation by the villagers of Nanzhuang about this couple tree. According to legend, more than a thousand years ago, a young woman named Liu Shu in Nanzhuang Village carried a seven or eight-year-old boy on her back, held a four- or five-year-old girl in one hand, and carried an earthen pot in the other hand to the Pearl Spring in the village. Lift water. No matter how much the girl cried, the young woman refused to put down the boy and carry the girl. The little girl's cry attracted the attention of the Pearl Spring Water God. The water god turned into an old man passing by and asked Ms. Liu Shu: "This girl must not be your biological child, right?" Ms. Liu Shu replied: "My father-in-law misunderstood. The one on his back was the child of his ex-wife! This child has not been born since he was a child. Mother, if I don’t hurt him, who will?”

That night, Liu Shu dreamed of an old man with a white beard who told her that the world was about to suffer from a drought for three consecutive years and asked her to pick leaves from catalpa trees and insert them into the trees. In the fields, there will be a lot of sweet potato fruits called sweet potato in autumn, and sweet potato mud will be used to make sweet potato bricks to prepare for famine. He repeatedly told her not to tell others, otherwise she would be sent to heaven. It turned out that the water god admired Liu Shu's kindness and wanted to help her survive the severe drought. The kind-hearted Liu Shu couldn't bear the suffering of the people and took the risk of revealing the secret to spread the news to the villagers. Because they believed in Liu Shu's character, the villagers imitated her in making sweet potato bricks to prepare for the shortage. Sure enough, within a year there was a severe drought, thousands of miles of wild land, springs dried up, rivers cut off, fields cracked, and countless people died of hunger. However, the people in Nanzhuang Village and the surrounding villages and towns were able to rely on the accumulated sweet potato bricks to survive due to the spread of Liu Shu's love. One summer night, Mr. and Mrs. Liu Shu and the villagers were gathering on the stone in front of the Tutu Temple in the village to enjoy the cool air. After a burst of lightning and thunder, people discovered that Liu Shu and his wife were missing. Later, two antipodal trees grew side by side at the place where the two ascended to heaven. They were two trees squeezed out from the cracks in the sedimentary rocks. One can imagine their strong will and tenacious life. After a shocking kiss one year, they melted into one body and have never been separated since then, performing an eternal love in which you are in me and you are in me. This couple's tree became one of the eight scenic spots in Yingdu in the old days, the "Yingquan Mandarin Duck Tree". In gratitude to the Liu Shu family for their sacrifice, the villagers of Nanzhuang regarded the two trees as the incarnations of the Liu Shu family and his wife. They built a temple near the trees and sculpted a golden body for the Liu Shu family as a way to worship the queen who gave birth to her son.

In 1941, the Japanese invaded the Central Plains. Liu Dahua, a descendant of the Liu family, was cutting grain in the field. He fell to the ground and died after a gunshot was fired. The Liu family never succeeded. Although the brutal Japanese soldiers burned, killed and looted the village, this thousand-year-old couple still survived.
