Hong Tong Sophora japonica is located in the northwest of Hongdong County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province. At present, it has been built into a national AAAA-level tourist attraction. Every year, hundreds of thousands of tourists from home and abroad come to visit and seek their roots and ancestors. The root-seeking ceremony held here is even more magnificent and lively. According to legend, as early as the early Ming Dynasty, the population in many places plummeted due to war or natural disasters.

The south of Shanxi is densely populated. Therefore, the court ordered that part of the population in southern Shanxi be moved to other provinces. Historically, there have been many large-scale population movements since the locust tree in Hong Tong. Until today, there are still related legends and stories in many places. For example, some people insist that the little toenail is divided into two halves and is a descendant of Shanxi immigrants.
