Whose story is the story of Nanjing buttonwood?

I like French phoenix tree very much, so Jiang specially invited more than 20 thousand French phoenix trees. Planting all the way from Meiling Palace to Zhongshan North Road looks like a necklace from above. Although this is only the most beautiful story among the people, it is not necessarily true. However, Song Meiling said, "The phoenix tree is beautiful, and it is planted all over Jinling City". It is also another explanation of buttonwood.

1872, a French missionary planted the first French phoenix tree in Nanjing. 1929, in order to welcome Mr. Sun's coffin, Zhongshan Road and Lingyuan Avenue were built, and more than 20,000 French phoenix trees took root here again. At that time, the buttonwood tree was a tall and straight hero, escorting Mr. Sun all the way. Now the buttonwood tree is not only the guardian of Mr. Sun, but also the guardian of everyone who comes here.

Extended data

The buttonwood tree in front of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is also different from other places. Every buttonwood tree here was specially pruned when it was young, and the depression was trident-shaped. So it has been growing obliquely upward in the form of three branches, and finally it has grown into a towering tree. Most of the buttonwood trees here were planted during the Republic of China. Touching the trunk of the buttonwood tree, there are traces of history behind it.

If you come to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in summer, you must walk slowly on this lush Indus Avenue. Every breath is accompanied by a summer leisure and a blind history.
