A story about who planted buttonwood trees everywhere in Nanjing.

It was Chiang Kai-shek's wife who loved the phoenix tree, so Nanjing chose the phoenix tree as a street tree in its planning, and later generations were full of praise for Jiang Song's love.

The truth is that Chinese parasol trees are beautiful in shape, with high branching points and fast scenery, so most cities in China will plant Chinese parasol trees, and Nanjing began to plant Chinese parasol trees when Chiang Kai-shek was in power.

Extended information The phoenix tree in Nanjing was first introduced by a French missionary. 1872, a French missionary planted the first French phoenix tree on Shigu Road in Nanjing. 1928, in order to welcome Sun Yat-sen's Feng 'an ceremony, Liu Jiwen, then mayor of Nanjing Special City, presided over the construction of Yingbin Avenue from Xiaguan Wharf to Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum, and planted 20,000 French phoenix trees along Zhongshan South Road.

Especially on both sides of the road from Zhongshan Gate to the cemetery, 1034 French phoenix trees were planted, which made Zhongshan Road and other streets green and continuous, leaving a rare cultural heritage for Nanjing.
