Today, every year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, the local people hold root-seeking and ancestor worship activities.Located in the city of Hongdong County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province, the scenic spot is located at No.002, Park Street, Guhuai North Road. It takes root-seeking and ancestor worship as the main axis, and connects the immigrant historic site area, folk-custom tourist area and ancestor worship activity area in series. With the Fenhe Ecological Zone as the background, more than 60 scenic and cultural spots are extended, creating the only folk sacrifice holy place with the theme of root-seeking and ancestor worship in the local area and even in the whole country. Visitors can not only understand the historical development of Shanxi merchants, but also be edified by historical accomplishment, feel the profound cultural connotation of the root-seeking ancestral garden of Hongtong pagoda tree, taste the joys and sorrows of immigrants in those days, and think about people's journey and development towards a new life. Personally, relying on the big pagoda tree, the scenic spot has successfully shaped a deep feeling of seeking roots. Walking in the meantime, whether it is an ancient hall or a misty lake, or even crossing the Millennium pagoda tree, people will find the imprint in the depths of their memories, which is full of thoughts.
In addition to the four major theme areas, there are stele pavilions, the second and third generations of Sophora japonica, and the roots of Sophora japonica for thousands of years. At the same time, the ancestral hall, Guangji Temple, Shijing Building and other scenic spots are connected in parallel, resulting in many memorial archways and immigrant relief maps, as well as dozens of scenic spots such as Chinese surname garden, which greatly enriched the tourism resources of the scenic spot. At the same time, Hongdong Sophora japonica Root-seeking Ancestor Garden adheres to diversified development, constantly innovates and brings forth the new, creating a characteristic business plate integrating folk hotels and travel agencies, forming a comprehensive tourism service area combining eating, living, traveling and purchasing, entertainment and traveling, which greatly meets the needs of the vast number of immigrant descendants for root-seeking and ancestor-seeking, and also creates a strong hometown atmosphere for the descendants of Sophora japonica immigrants, so that they can know their hometown more deeply.
The scenic spot belongs to the key cultural relics protection units in this area, with many honorary titles and brilliant achievements, and its reputation is well-known all over the world, which is worth visiting specially. The location of the scenic spot is superior, only about eight kilometers away from Daxi High-speed Railway, two kilometers away from Hongdong Railway Station and three kilometers away from Dayun Expressway, so the traffic is very convenient.
Personally, the most impressive is the relief map of immigrants. Looking around, the relief map is about 23 meters long and about 4.5 meters high. The whole relief is made of bronze, presented in the form of long scrolls of calligraphy and painting, and slowly unfolded. Taking the pagoda tree as the main axis and the migration as the background, the whole relief picture vividly reproduces the tragic scene of the great pagoda tree holy land in Hongdong from the initial stage of migration to leaving the native land and during the migration. Fifteen historical scenes and more than 60 people involved are expressed in the form of painting, which is rich and compact in content and covers a wide range, and the painting language image depicts the great waves and historical trends of that year vividly, just like an epic. It is said that the relief was created by a famous sculptor in China according to the thousand-year historical records of the Ming Dynasty and combined with folk legends, which is admirable.
