Origin of the name

Do you know why this plant is called iron tree?

Legend has it that a long time ago, in the south of our country, there lived a very beautiful golden phoenix. In addition to its dazzling feathers, it also had a beautiful and ethereal singing voice. Occasionally it flies in the air, occasionally it stays on the trees, but it always sings beautiful songs to the hard-working people and dances at the same time. People like it very much. When they are tired from working in the fields, they seem to forget their tiredness while listening to the moving singing and watching the beautiful dance.

More and more people knew about the golden phoenix. At this time, an important official in a high position also heard about this widely circulated beautiful story. He thought: Such a beautiful and moving golden phoenix should be mine. The master wanted to monopolize the golden phoenix, so he asked someone to catch it. After catching the phoenix, the adult put it in a cage and fed it with food that he thought was very good every day. He wanted to see the golden phoenix's graceful dance, but in fact, what the adult wanted to see most was the phoenix's shimmering golden feathers, because as long as it danced, he could see the golden phoenix's beautiful feathers. But the golden phoenix was unmoved. At this time, the adult said to it: Since you don't want to dance, I won't make things difficult for you. Why don't you sing a song for us to listen to! . But the Golden Phoenix still ignored it.

As time passed, the patience of this great servant was worn out by the Golden Phoenix. One day he said to Golden Phoenix: If you don’t sing and dance, I will burn you to death. But the Golden Phoenix remained unmoved. The gentleman was so angry that he really burned the phoenix to death. At the place where the golden phoenix was burned to death, a small green tree grew out. People believed that it was the transformation of the golden phoenix that would rather die than surrender. To commemorate it, people named this plant "Iron Tree".
