One of the four most famous ancient
schools of classical learning in China
is located to the south of Central
Mountain Temple. The simple buildings
house many historical relics. In the
courtyard, there are two cypress trees
more than 1,900 years old; their trunks
are so thick that five people with arms
fully extended can barely form a ring
around them. It is said that these trees
were named “cypress generals” by Emperor
Wu of the Han Dynasty (206 B.C. – A.D.
220). |
