Protection of ancient trees an act of pride for ranger

The ancient trees in the Cuiyun Corridor in Jiange, Sichuan province, have weathered the slings and arrows of history and of countless seasons. "In order to protect the ancient trees the temple was demolished, but occasionally, the elderly still come here to worship. Xu Xinggui, the former village Party secretary of Tianqiao, said, "We grew up listening to the stories of the ancient trees." "Over 1,800 years ago, Zhang Fei passed through here and planted a cypress tree, which grew into three trunks, supporting each other, echoing the famous story of 'The Oath of the Peach Garden' in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
