Emerging fragrant lychee has a history of over 600 years in emerging fields. In the fourth year of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty (1406), Li Chang, a native of Zhoubei Village in Xinxing County, was a jinshi. During his tenure as the censor of Fujian, he introduced several high-quality lychee varieties with thick skin and red meat, known as "Zhuangyuan Hong", from Fujian to his hometown for trial planting. After careful cultivation and improvement, he succeeded in making the fruit smaller in size, smaller or seedless in size, crispy and fragrant in texture, and different in shape and juice from Fujian's "Zhuangyuan Hong". Afterwards, the people called it Xiangli and from the late Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, it was listed as a tribute by the county and presented to the court every year. From then on, fragrant lychee products became famous both domestically and internationally. After years of cultivation and expansion, the impact deepened. Therefore, in the 23rd year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1758), the "Xinxing County Annals" translated the "Luofu Annals" and recorded: "There are various types of lychee, and those that emerge as new ones are called fragrant lychee. They are actually small and crispy, but fragrant and beautiful... The finer ones are the roasted ones, and the most precious ones are lychee. "Fragrant lychees are not found in Guangdong and Guangdong, but only in Xinxing. They are either seedless or seedless and extremely small, but they change when they are in other places." The county annals also turned to "Guangzhou Miscellaneous Records", which said: "Guangdong lychees are much less than Fujian, and in the earlier month, only Xinxing lychees are better than Fujian (Editor's Note: Guangdong lychees generally ripen a month earlier than Fujian, but Xinxing sweet lychees ripen a solar term later than ordinary lychees). Xinxing dry lychees are more beautiful than Fujian's No. 1 red lychees, and are rare in official places. They take lychee pulp as wine, cover it with lychee juice and Shaojiu, and color it The aroma is beautiful." Since the fruit is rare, after it was listed as the imperial tribute by the county, every time the litchi is ripe, the Supervisor of the County sends a messenger to the countryside to survey in advance. If farmers do not send them to the countryside according to the amount, they should be punished for bullying the monarch. In order to escape the hardship of the sect, the fruit farmers cut down the sweet litchi trees one after another. In the 26th year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1900), after Wang Yao, the new Supervisor of the County, took office from Guangzhou to Xinxing, he observed the people's conditions and planted more than 100 fragrant litchi trees in the open land behind the county office (today's Zhongshan Park). He picked fruits to pay tribute. After the fruit farmers were relieved of the pain of relieving the sect, they planted fragrant litchi trees one after another and continued to expand the planting area. In order to praise the new Supervisor of the County's diligent spirit for the people, people called the fragrant litchi trees planted by Wang Supervisor of the County himself "Wang Gong litchi". This batch of fragrant lychee trees has been preserved until the early 1970s. The Fragrant Litchi Tree, hand planted by the Sixth Patriarch, is located on the back mountain of Guo'en Temple in Xinxing County. It was personally planted by Master Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch, and has been around for more than 1300 years. It is listed as the top ten ancient trees in Guangdong Province. The Sixth Patriarch Huineng personally planted it in 712 AD, and now it is as high as 18.2 meters, with a circumference of about 3.72 meters and a crown of 126 square meters. Gu Li is known as the "Buddha Li" in the Buddhist community due to its sacred relationship with the Sixth Patriarch. During the Cultural Revolution in the last century, Gu Li was burned down by humans, causing the middle and part of the bark of the tree trunk to wither and almost die. After the reform and opening up, it coincided with a prosperous era, and was carefully maintained by Guoen Temple and relevant departments of the local government. Now it is lush and thriving. During midsummer, the Buddha's lychee is fragrant and fragrant on Longshan Mountain. Those who observe and taste it are delighted to have tasted the Buddha's lychee, which brings joy to their body and mind, and fills them with Dharma joy. After visiting Xinxing, a Buddhist monk led by Professor Takashi Yanagita from Kyoto University in Japan, he believed that Xinxing is famous for its fragrant lychee and has a thousand year old lychee hand planted by the sixth ancestor of the Tang Dynasty. He wrote an article stating that Xinxing is the hometown of lychee
