Legend has it that when Jiang Huiyan, the sixth-generation descendant of Jiang Rixin, the last son-in-law of the Southern Song Dynasty, migrated, he found that the soil and climate here were very suitable for planting Renmianzi trees with higher benefits. He planted them when he founded the foundation in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty (1470). This tree was planted that year and has a history of nearly 600 years. It has witnessed the growth of generations of Shizhai Village people.
