Eight years after Sima Guang's death, Song Zhezong listened to rumors and ordered the destruction of the Xinghua Monument. The Xinghua monument, which records Sima Guang's great achievements, was broken into four pieces and buried underground. It was not until A.D. 1 148 that the apricot flower monument buried for many years was rediscovered.

In A.D. 1094, due to different political views, some people falsely accused Sima Guang. Song Zhezong listened to those people and ordered Sima Guang's memorial tablet to be broken into four sections and the inscription to be chiseled out. In this way, Sima Guang's tomb was in ruins.
It was not until A.D. 1 148 that the newly appointed county magistrate visited the ancestral temple in Paulus Johannes. There is a lush apricot tree in the site of Sima Wen ancestral hall, which is full of foliage and vitality. The new county magistrate felt very strange after seeing such a scene. He thought Sima Guang appeared, so he sent someone to dig. Under the apricot tree, the county magistrate dug up four broken stone tablets, and the long-buried stone tablets were rediscovered. Because it was excavated under apricot trees, Sima Guang monument is also called apricot tree monument.
