Never-ending Stories of the Pagoda Tree: Ancestral Memory, Homeland Symbol and Ethnic History
by Zhao Shiyu
Description
The story about the Ming Dynasty’s domestic immigration’s starting point, a huge pagoda tree located in Hongtong County, Shanxi Province is literally a topic known even for women and children. Even in history, it is a matter of great concern from gentry and the masses, and for which many efforts have been made. This is a good starting point for understanding the cultural sharing and interaction in history and understanding the history of Shanxi and North China. The topic more worthy of discussion is the process of the local historical changes reflected in the stories of the immigration of the big pagoda tree, of the Guangdong’s Nanxiong Zhuji alley, of the Hakkas’ Stone Wall Village and so on. This topic involves regional development in the historical period, clan, beliefs, gentry, ethnic groups, especially the military system. Only in this way can we truly or accurately understand the generation and spread of the stories mentioned above. This step-by-step process also reflects the author’s thinking and elaboration on the methodological significance of regional social history or historical anthropology.
